you can see clips on youtube.

I remember watching it. Good for 80's tv I guess.

I use to watch Werewolf back in the day. The werewolves were awesome looking. If I remember correctly, Jack Palance was the big bad werewolf.

They sure don't look scary now as I find stills with my google-fu, but being very young I was very impressed with "The Company of Wolves":

It was plain weird. The transformation scene in a banquet where all the rich people progressively get more wild, eating with their hand and then ripping their clothes as they turn to wolves especially impressed me...

Company of Wolves is strange but really, really good. The Werewolf TV show was rubbish even by 80ies standards, I gave up after two episodes (and I was a Werewolf-fanatic teen then!).

You know, I'd completely forgotten about The Company of Wolves. Great film, very strange and dreamlike, but for some reason never registers with me as a werewolf movie. In fact, I always think of it as a kid's film, which it most definitely isn't.

The effects look a little dated now, but that scene at the banquet that Torradas mentioned is a bit scary, and the proper transformation of the gyspy type bloke near the end is a bit full on. Still good, even if you can see the strings, as it were.

And Angela Lansbury was great.

But sadly not as peculiarly foxy as she was in Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Well, that's my embarrassing drunken confession out of the way for this evening, anybody else want to have a go...?

What was the name of the singer who played Little Red Riding Hood in A Company of Wolves? She sang with an indie band. Danielle Dax?

What about the movie "Bad Moon"? I LOVED it! The hero was a German SHepard protecting its family. When the Werewolf was in human form the Dog would mess with him to let him know who was Alpha on that street!

There was a scene where the dog pissed on the tire of the Werewolf's trailer & sat there watching the guy go in. The Werewolf in human form was walking by, stopped & sniffed, then just glared at the dog. That was an awesome scene!

I also like the art of Alan Lee in one of his many drawings for Tolkien's Fantastic World. Those werewolves look like big wolves with something almost like flames coming from their eyes (to show the insanity of the spirits inhabiting the wolf form).

Apart from that I also like dog soldiers' interpretation. I cannot quite remember the wolf from Silver Bullet. Only that it scard the heck out of me at that time...

Hey are we not all forgetting about Eddie Munster?

Still trying to!

Anyway, werewolves: I'm with the whole lycan/lupus physicality meself, don't like seeing a hairy man in a lumberjack shirt who desparately needs to go to the all night body waxer!

I used to play an RPG called Chill back when I was a youngun and that kind of set the 'preferred' look of the werewolf for me.

So dog soldiers & underworld (for both the directors and producers stance on no CGI for the wolves, nice long legs, sunken abdomens, large lupine ribcage...nice).
Van Heilsing: well again a more wolfy werewolf than a man so nice.

Seminal transformation: has to be american werewolf in london if you like your weres lupine, bit pneumatic and plastic now but the ideas stand up well.

Sure there are others but can't recall at present.

Well that goes without question, but you can forget teen wolf too(2)!!

white knight · « **Reply #42 on:** June 30, 2009, 12:44:18 PM »

The wolf in Teen Wolf 2 looked like something from Planet of the Apes if you ask me.

Doomhippie · « **Reply #43 on:** June 30, 2009, 05:11:46 PM »

Yeah, Company of Wolves was so cool. Really, really cool. Just the opposite from any teenwolf movies... (shudder, go into spasms - throw up).

A wolf is a very elegant animal and to some extent the werewolf should reflect that.

The werewolf in the movie Silver Bullet was not too bad either.

I really like your ideas for the second Spinespur book Cranky! Can't wait to see your ideas in miniature!
When will the second book be finished and available?
