Here’s another wonderful piece of fine art werewolfery from Mondo, those magicians of film and pop culture artifacts. Mondo commissions incredible artists to produce poster artwork for cult / classic films and TV shows, and then burns through a run of limited edition prints in a flash sale designed to make collectors with slow internet connections cry bitter tears.

“Breeds” by Keith C Blackmore
It’s not every day I get asked to share a book with a forward that warns squeamish people not to buy it. “Breeds” by Canadian horror & fantasy author Keith C Blackmore is a “werewolf book. Not a romance. Not at all.” It’s $4.99 on Amazon, and it gets an automatic thumbs-up from me before reading more than the first two pages because Blackmore knows how to write a convincing Newfoundland accent.

The Bogus Backyard Werewolf of Brazil
According to The Internet, this is a real thing, insofar as man’s claims re: a 1.5 metre, hair-covered thing scratching at his gate and “writhing” in a very real way motivated the Brazilian city of São Gonçalo dos Campos to impose a 9PM curfew. (more…)
Ask Andronica! Instincts and Guilt
After my first column was published two weeks ago, it didn’t take more than an hour before I received an angry phone call from Livia in New York. The Sisterhood of the Wolf had tolerated my publishing activities so far, she said, because everyone would assume that it was all fiction. If I now began answering questions from the public, however, then verification of my existence would be possible – at least by those who submit questions to the column. (more…)

Creators of “Hellfjord” team up for horror-comedy “Party Animal”
As exclusively reported by Variety and then parroted verbatim by dozens of other movie news sites, Norwegian director Patrik Syversen (Hellfjord) and actor / screenwriter Stig Frode Henriksen (Hellfjord, Dead Snow) are teaming up for “Party Animal”, which is being described as “the first modern Scandinavian werewolf movie” by its producers. (more…)
Happle Tea shows the true value of a silver Olympic medal
This comic by Scott Maynard of Happle Tea was probably created during the 2012 Summer Olympics, but let’s face it: if werewolves were going to attack the medal podium, it’d totally be during a Winter Olympics held in Russia. (more…)
Stjepan Šejić’s “fur brush tutorial” werewolf portrait is killer
Croatian artist Stjepan Šejić cranked out this stunning depiction of what a werewolf victim sees five seconds before they die in less than 32 minutes just to show folks “how to make and use one of the variations of fur brush i make and use myself”. He even posted a video of the entire process, which is fascinating to watch, and which further vindicates my wife’s refusal to use any version of Photoshop newer than CS3. (more…)
The werewolf in “House Of Monsters” is a sly dog
I saw this on a friend’s Facebook timeline and was immediately transformed into a 7-year-old watching a Rankin/Bass special. It’s a teaser taken from a stop-motion film by Dawn Brown called House Of Monsters. The character designs are wonderful, and I think I like the werewolf even better than the Nightmare Before Christmas wolfman. (more…)
Full Moon Features: Blood and Chocolate
