In Jack Black’s “sequel,” we pick up years after Scott Howard’s glory days as a furry high school basketball star. The teen wolf and his dad now spend most of their time in a trailer wondering what the hell happened. Since their hearts are filled with “bitterness and regret,” they are forced to be furry at all times.

But they have a plan! Sick of being treated like freaks, the decide to get their  body hair waxed! Sadly, the procedure costs an insane $9,000, so their plan is a bust. Or is it…?

There just so happens to be a father and son basketball tournament coming up and guess what the prize is – $9,000. Scott and his dad bust out the basketball skills and hit the court where they face McGinley and his NBA superstar “son.”

It sounds ridiculous, right? Yeah, it is. But it’s entertaining. See for yourself!

Check out the short film:

From the Steam Greelight page:

“The classic games of our childhoods were, and still are, the hardest ever made. Games like Ghosts n Goblins and Mega Man that separated the weak from the strong, but what happened to them? Did we become too soft? Could we no longer handle the stress of the white knuckle action platformer? Did we sacrifice hair trigger timing for open worlds and next gen graphics? Have we forgotten what made us love games in the first place?

With Blood of the Werewolf, Scientifically Proven is bringing those feelings of exhaustion and accomplishment, with a little bit of something new. BotW will test your limits. It will make you want to throw the controller through your TV. It will raise your blood pressure. Most of all, it will challenge you like you haven’t been challenged since the golden age of games.

In Blood of the Werewolf, you take on the character of Selena, a werewolf whose husband has been murdered and child kidnapped. You will journey through fifteen levels of white knuckle platforming, fighting the most classic of monsters like the Creature, Hyde, Dracula, Mummy, and Frankenstein, all in the name of vengeance. Blood of the Werewolf will transport you to that time long lost, when good guys wore red hats and bad guys were fat lizards with a thing for princesses.

Among the pantheon of things that go bump in the night, these creatures of the night stand above all others. Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf, and their compatriots have gone from novels, to the stage, to films, becoming pop icons along the way.

Since their turns on the silver screen over 80 years ago, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, and the rest of the crew have appeared in over one thousand movies, TV shows, and comic books. Now, Scientifically Proven is excited to bring these nightmarish icons to your PC.”

From Double Helix’s blog:

“The announcement showcased three completely redesigned characters already familiar to fans of the franchise. Jago, clad in shredded tapestries and ropes that evoke his monastic background, went head to head with an all new Sabrewulf, bristling with hypodermics, but free of the cybernetic augmentation he sported in past installments. Also making an appearance was Glacius, the cold-blooded alien who can create deadly constructs of water and ice.”

Check out some screencaps:

In a recent interview, Microsoft producer Torin Rettig described the updated Sabrewulf:

“    …Sabrewulf is a man and beast in constant conflict with each other. If you look at Sabrewulf, he’s got like the torn jeans and everything, but if you look at his idle animations, he’s got a twitch. He’s basically a mad scientist trying to cure himself.”

Check out some gameplay footage of Sabrewulf kicking ass:

Looks amazing! I love when fighting games have awesome characters and Killer Instinct does thanks to its werewolf.

For those of you who can’t remember Sabrewulf, he has been afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy and is told that if he wins the tournament he will get the cure for his disease.

What do you guys think of the new Killer Instinct and the new Sabrewulf?

The creators of Wolfcop were among five finalists who made a final pitch at the Banff World Media Festival to a panel of industry experts. The big prize was $1 million in cash, help making the film, and a release at Cineplex theatres in 2014. It’s a damn good prize – and a werewolf film landed it!

Writer-director Lowell Dean described his main character as “Dirty Harry, only hairier.”

“There’s a rabid desire from werewolf fans,” he told the panel. “It is pretty silly, but it is pretty bad ass.”

The story is set in a “Saskatchewan-like” town called Woodhaven. It tells the tale of alcoholic cop Lou Garou, which any werewolf fan can see is a play on “loup garou”— who has the occasional blackout.

When there’s a full moon, he becomes a “rage-fuelled werewolf.”

“A million-dollar budget is amazing, but to me the real reason to enter this was that theatrical [release],” Dean said in an interview. “That’s the dream of any Canadian filmmaker.”

Dean said the idea for Wolfcop started out as a kind of joke:

“Honestly, I was trying to come up with an idea for a script but I couldn’t decide between this monster movie I wanted to do and a cop movie,” he explained.

“Almost as a joke I said maybe I should mash them together and that idea was addictive and grew in my brain and I had to do the script.”

The Wolfcop team, which consists of Dean, producer and marketing strategist Bernie Hernando and producer Hugh Patterson, plan on working on the film as soon as possible.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to one day seeing Wolfcop?

Book description:

“Many Japanese once revered the wolf as Oguchi no Magami, or Large-Mouthed Pure God, but as Japan began its modern transformation wolves lost their otherworldly status and became noxious animals that needed to be killed. By 1905 they had disappeared from the country. In this spirited and absorbing narrative, Brett Walker takes a deep look at the scientific, cultural, and environmental dimensions of wolf extinction in Japan and tracks changing attitudes toward nature through Japan’s long history.

Grain farmers once worshiped wolves at shrines and left food offerings near their dens, beseeching the elusive canine to protect their crops from the sharp hooves and voracious appetites of wild boars and deer. Talismans and charms adorned with images of wolves protected against fire, disease, and other calamities and brought fertility to agrarian communities and to couples hoping to have children. The Ainu people believed that they were born from the union of a wolflike creature and a goddess.

In the eighteenth century, wolves were seen as rabid man-killers in many parts of Japan. Highly ritualized wolf hunts were instigated to cleanse the landscape of what many considered as demons. By the nineteenth century, however, the destruction of wolves had become decidedly unceremonious, as seen on the island of Hokkaido. Through poisoning, hired hunters, and a bounty system, one of the archipelago’s largest carnivores was systematically erased.

The story of wolf extinction exposes the underside of Japan’s modernization. Certain wolf scientists still camp out in Japan to listen for any trace of the elusive canines. The quiet they experience reminds us of the profound silence that awaits all humanity when, as the Japanese priest Kenko taught almost seven centuries ago, we “look on fellow sentient creatures without feeling compassion.”"

Book description:

“In this spin-off series from My Sister the Vampire, a new set of twins will have readers howling with laughter

To their classmates, Daniel and Justin are identical twin brothers. But in fact they couldn’t be more different. On their 13th birthday, one is destined to turn into a werewolf. This full moon is going to change everything. Will Riley and Debi find out the boys’ secret? And what will happen to the band?”

Personally, I love children’s books. So much so that I am enrolled in a children’s literature course next semester (yay!). Cry Wolf! Has some great reviews from young readers and older readers, so it looks like a worthy werewolf book.

What do you think? Have you read it already, if so, what did you think?

Do you only read adult werewolf novels or do you like the occasional kid book?

Personally, I feel that a werewolf is a man or woman who can transform into a wolf or wolf-like creature. Simple. That is the base of what a werewolf is – the ability to transform into a wolf. There is no right or wrong werewolf, it simply needs to follow that one rule and that rule is changing into a wolf or wolf-like creature. That’s how I see it, but others disagree and have countless rules and regulations when it comes to what a werewolf is “supposed to be.” Like, a werewolf has to be scary, a werewolf has to be evil, a werewolf has no emotions… etc. I think that’s all nonsense. To me a werewolf is someone who transforms into a beast.

But what do you think? Are you one of those people who feel that a werewolf has to be something specific? That there is a right and wrong kind of werewolf?

Here are a few questions for you to consider:

Are werewolves good or evil?

What does a werewolf look like?

How does a werewolf behave (mindless monster, intelligent, wolf/pack-like)?

Are werewolves killers?

And so on.

I don’t think there is a right or wrong werewolf. A werewolf can look however it wants as long as you can see wolf in it (it’s not a werewolf if it doesn’t have wolf in it). A werewolf can act any way it wants – good or bad. A werewolf is whatever the storyteller wants it to be.

What do you think?

Yeah, boring. It would have rocked if they had shown a werewolf image instead, but that would kind of ruin the surprise.

Onto casting news! Lance Guest (Halloween II, The Last Starfighter) and Tom Noonan (The House Of The Devil, Manhunter) have joined as leads with Karen Lynn Gorney (Saturday Night Fever), Caitlin O’Hearney (Wolfen) and Rutanya Alda (The Fury, The Deer Hunter) are all part of the supporting cast. They join the previously cast Nick Damici (Stake Land), Erin Cummings (Spatacus), Ethan Embry (Cheap Thrills) and Tina Louise (Gilligan’s Island) in the werewolf flick being directed by Adrian Garcia Bogliano. Cummings and Embry play a married couple.

Written by Eric Stolze, “Late Phases will tell the story of Ambrose McKinley, a blind war veteran, who moves into a community where the residents have been dying in increasing numbers – oddly, all have supposedly been the victims of dog attacks. But after barely surviving his own attack on his first night there, Ambrose discovers that the assailants are not just canines – they are entirely different and far more terrifying.”

Bogliano also directed Cold Sweat, Penumbra and Magnolia’s upcoming Here Comes the Devil.

There have been a lot of werewolf movies made. Some of them are spectacular displays of horror and art, while others are total disasters. Those awesome films get a lot of love, but obviously, the craptastic films don’t. So I say let’s give some love to the awful werewolf flicks.

Here are some of the worst werewolf flicks ever made (trust me, there are A LOT more):

Eyes of the Werewolf
In this awful film, a laboratory accident leaves a man blind and at the mercy of a not-so-great surgeon who performs an accidental eye transplant. Unknown to everyone, the new eyes were taken from a werewolf. Of course, shit gets crazy the next full moon.

The Howling II… and pretty much every Howling sequel
Do I even need to give you a description? I think everyone feels about the same on the Howling sequels – they all suck. However, having a Howling marathon would be perfect for a bad movie night.

Dark Wolf
This werewolf flick is so bad it only has 2 stars on IMDB. It’s about a werewolf stalking the streets of the big city in search of its mate. Yeah… not a winning story. Oh! I can’t forget the werewolf effects! The CGI is so god-awful and cheesy it’s cringe-worthy.

The Werewolf of Washington
This is a horror/comedy from the 70s. This movie is about the White House press secretary becoming a werewolf and a threat to the president. Bababuuuum! While a bad movie, it’s an entertaining one. It’s one of those ‘so bad it’s almost good’ movies.

Werewolf
This werewolf movie is famous for being bad, so of course I couldn’t leave it off the list. In this movie, an archeological dig uncovers the remains of a werewolf. What follows next is obvious – someone gets infected and mass chaos ensues.  Everything is this movie is bad – the wolf, the story, the actors…etc. It’s garbage.

And there you have it werewolf lovers, a few movies you will totally hate. Ahaha! As I said above, there are many more bad werewolf films out there, these are just a couple. What is your least favorite werewolf film?
