HoOman Raad created this amazing werewolf model in two weeks

Happy Wolfenoot / Friday! It's been a busy week, so here, like a furry oasis for your eyes, is a very good werewolf image. The artist is HoOman Raad, a 3D character / creature artist from Iran, and the werewolf is a creation of pure mathematics, containing over 33,000 polygons, including 23,000 for the hair alone....

Full Moon Features: Blood Freak (1972)

Since the full moon falls on Thanksgiving this year, I figured I'd highlight a slightly different kind of movie in this month's column. While there's no such thing as a movie about a wereturkey, there is 1972's Blook Freak, which TCM's Robert Osborne once sheepishly described as being about "a motorcycle enthusiast who's turned into a blood-crazed turkey man."...

Wolfenoot is nearly upon us

This is a holiday weekend, and I'm not talking about American Thanksgiving, although you can certainly celebrate that too – your roasted bird will work for both events. I'm talking about Wolfenoot, the wolf-centric holiday invented just a few months ago by a 7-year-old in New Zealand.

"My son has invented a holiday called Wolfenoot," goes the original post, which appeared on...

Time lapse video of "Lycan" digital painting by Kirisute Silvermane

Sometimes when you're feeling under the weather, it's nice to indulge in that classic trio of self-care staples we all know and love: chicken soup, a blanket on the couch, and watching time lapse videos of people painting werewolves.

Here's a time lapse video by UK artist Kirisute Silvermane, who wrote...

Mask & costume maker Magpiebones brings her incredible werewolf to life

She calls herself a mask and costume maker, but with all due respect to her astonishing mastery of craft, I'm going to refer to Briana Barber (aka Magpiebones) as a supernatural shapeshifter, because her latest personal project has transformed her into an utterly believable werewolf.

Indie slasher film "Bonehill Road" is out

When I posted about crowdsourced werewolf movie Bonehill Road last year, I had the usual mix of high hopes and low expectations. Now it's out, and according to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB reviews it's... actually pretty good!

To be fair, most of the positive reviews are from people who were hoping for low-budget indie schlock featuring lots of gore and a...

Be kind to the new girl – an untitled werewolf comic

This comic by Alex and Sidney is making its way around Tumblr. I absolutely love the gentle artwork and the unapologetic use of red. It has no title, but I would like to suggest "New Girl", after the Long Winters song of the same title (and, given the impressionistic lyrics, a similar theme)....

SciShow's "Werewolf Myths" video doesn't disappoint

YouTube channel SciShow recently published a short video on the origin of werewolf myths. A number of people sent me the link – thank you! – and I only just had a chance to watch it.

It gets off to a bad start. Within the first 30 seconds, host Michael Aranda makes a Twilight reference, which would have been tedious a decade ago, and...
