Does any one else feel that there is a woefull lack of werewolf movies.Ive always thought werewolfs were so much cooler than vampires.Unfortunatly most werewolf movies are lame and just portray them as bloodthirst beasts and never go into the personal details,like how does the person feel about them being a werewolf or even how they deal with it.There are only two movies I can remeber that have dealt with werewolfs and have also dealt with the human side,An american werewolf in london, and Gingersnaps.
Im just saying I would like to see Werewolfs brought to the mainstream.

There are a bunch of werewolf movies in the works.  Kane Hodder was just in one that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head.  It's probably Werewolf, that sounds right.  And there are  two sequels to Ginger Snaps on the way.

Also, don't forget "Underworld" which should be out this summer if I'm not mistaken.  A vampire/werewolf movie that looks like it's gonna kick some ass.

What about"Darkwolf"?

What we need is more GOOD werewolf movies.

Man, I love werewolves. In fact, in third grade, I was sent to the principle for growling at my teacher and "clawing" other students ( hey, I went through a were wolf stage).

So, yes, I think they are one of the most misused creatures out there. Stephen King wrote one book on werewolves which really sucked.

However, you left off some great were wolf flix including Michael J. Fox ' Teen Wolf, An American Werewolf in Paris (was a fun romp) and Dog Soldiers

Wes Craven is presenting some werewolf movie soon, but time will tell on that.

At the mention of the word "werewolf" I'm contractually obligated to put in my usual plug for Spain's King of Horror, Jacinto "Paul Naschy" Molina who did a whole SERIES of films starting in the 60's and 70's in which he portrayed tormented lycanthrope Waldemar Daninsky.  I grant you the films were fairly bad (which is why I love them) but there were frequent insights into Waldemar's pain over his curse.

Speaking of Dog Soldiers, it's reported over at Fango's website that Dog Soldiers 2 will go into production late this summer.  Let's hope it's as cool as the first one.

"Dog Soliders 2" had better not suck! But if it's in theaters i'll try it.

-the first rule of fat club-

ya i saw the previews for underworld,but its making the werewolf out to be the bad guys.

I know that there are a few new werewolf movies out ther but most of them sucked, that includes dog soldiers.Im talking some good ones that can take the werewolfs to the mainstream.perhaps im asking to much

How about a werewolf movie that takes place on a space station?

-the first rule of fat club-

How about a novel called "INTERVIEW WITH A WEREWOLF"?......Naaaah!

Where every few hours you see a full moon?  Gotta be tough on the werewolf.  Or how about werewolves on Mars-- with two moons, or Outland meets the Werewolf, where the action takes place on a moon?

How about "Werewolf vs. the Creature of the Black Lagoon" I smell box office with that one.

-the first rule of fat club-

GEEZ so many good ideas I wish Hollywood would borrow some. I like Dog Soliders though (I know Dog Soliders was not made by Hollywood maybe that's why it was so good)

-the first rule of fat club-

"Van Helsing" will feature The Wolf Man.

I wasnt such a big fan of Dog Soldiers,

And what is wrong with an American Werewolf In Paris, that is how a werewolf is supposed to be.

Awhile back on this board we had an idea of a Soviet Werewolf in the old west fighting evil zombies with the elp of some vigilante vampires. NOW that is a a good movie idea.

Wait a minute............What was wrong with Lon Chaney Jr. playing in the Universal films as the WOLFMAN. I especially like when Chaney would tell people that he would turn into a werewolf when the moon was full and nobody would believe him.

I wasn't that crazy about DOG SOLDIERS. I think it was because the special ops guys weren't convincing as soldiers or something. Other than that the film wasn't bad. The film was alittle like SOUTHERN CONFORT with Werewolfs. I don't think DOG SOLDIERS needed soldiers in the woods to make it work.

Paul Naschy in THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN is great in my opinion. Loved it.

Raj that was a great idea. Werewolfs on Mars with two moons. Cool. I can see it now. I can picture Werewolves with a Mars landscape. Raj you should work on that one. It might be worth something.

Any thoughts anyone?

>There are only two movies I can remeber that have dealt with werewolfs and
>have also dealt with the human side

There was also the TV show Werewolf.

For books, check out The Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon.

Wolf dealt with the human side, but it was really slow and really boring and really not worth watching even once all the way through.

But yeah, more GOOD werewolf films would be very welcome. I'd like to see Howling Mad made into a film (I know, that's a wolf becoming a man instead of the other way around, but it's close).

Wolf was reallly good.Jack Nicholson was excellent.
