Early this morning, the early birds were treated to a "blood moon" eclipse! What better way to celebrate the full moon than enjoying our favorite cinematic werewolves? I personally like to watch a double feature of The Wolfman (1941) and An American Werewolf in London (1981). Both are very different but very enjoyable takes on the iconic lycanthrope...a pitiable individual turned into a horrible monster by means beyond his control, who can only be stopped by death. Lon Chaney Jr. stars in the original legendary werewolf film, a sad tale of a cursed man. He's so sympathetic and your heart goes out to him, even as he kills again and again. He can't help it. In An American Werewolf in London, David Naughton and Griffin Dunne star as victims of the werewolf attack. It's scary and sad, but also has these brilliant moments of black comedy. It's highly entertaining and fun to watch with a crowd. So if you're looking for something to watch tonight, make it a werewolf flick. Just make sure it doesn't involve Taylor Lautner, alright?
What's your opinion on movie werewolves? Do you have a favorite?
