But the moon thing came from the movie too... :/ More correctly the "shapeshifting during a full moon" thing came from the movie. The ritual to become a shapeshifter is actually said to have to take place during the full moon. The full moon is very rare in werewolf folklore. Even the cere...

Here's the link: http://www.forward.com/articles/should-jews-save-the-werewolf-from-extinction/ It mentions some basic facts I've heard before, namely that the most influential stereotypes of werewolf movies were originally symbolic representations of Jews, but it also goes into a lot of details tha...

I find it truely amazing ...... A place where new friends can be made. A place for discussion, laughter, ideas, and suggestions for an upcoming werewolf movie. Sure, there are other forums out there. But those forums can't even come close to whats going on in here. (Figarou's quote shortened by Jam...

But, if I were a werewolf, cornered by a normal human and finally having to explain it, I'd go ahead and use the word. That's one situation where it would be hard not to say the "w" word. And any fictional scene where that happened and the "w" word wasn't used even once probably...

Tree closet? :lol: She hasnt come out of the green house yet. :D It doesnt work for plants does it. For homosexuals its closet. For witches its broom closet and for therians its fur closet. :lol: Isn't that the fur coat closet? You can have a closet full of brooms, and you could have a closet full ...

Actually, wolves in general are nearsighted. Werewolves might or might not have as a general rule that same problem. That's the one nit I have to pick with the Jack Nicholson movie Wolf , which otherwise did a remarkable job depicting lupine perception thrown into a human being. (There's a scene wh...

What is everyones thoughts on this? Is this a common representation in the mythology. Have most of the movies sort of...made it hard to accept that there could be an order of werewolves, not of just physical, but also spirituality? I don't think I've ever seen "spiritual" werewolves in th...

Actually, it annoys the crap outta me when movies do that. I mean if you saw a werewolf in real life, you're going to say "HOLY HANNAH, A WEREWOLF!!!!!", not "Oh my, a large hairy wolf-like creature!" I mean, I can see avoiding the word if the humans and the audience havn't gott...

:o I'm playing stupid and blonde right now, but is that THE ABrownigg that's making the movie???? Wow!! I didn't think I would get to talk to a director. This is awesome. I think I'll like it here. :D Okay... enough of the blonde jokes here! I am natural and I am proud of it! hehe... er uh... damn!...

They can claim t be a werewolf, It's just when the think they know what's right and disregard some good speculation on what a werewolf might be, because they're a "werewolf" and start getting into arguements, then they're banned, after a few friendly warnings of course. This is indeed the...

I've read this a number of times now, in reviews of werewolf movies, werewolf books and so on... I've read it where people think it is really classy if the item of fiction in question depicts werewolves, or something close enough (shapeshifters that repeatedly transform into creatures that at least ...

So far, I haven't seen anyone mentioning one factor: if seen by humans, clothing would be a clue to the werewolf's true identity. People might think <i>Hey! That looks like Bill's red shirt! And Bill disappeared right before this thing showed up!</i> So, if werewolves did retain clothing (even in pa...

This site has "glow in the dark" contacts.

I know we are not part of Calypso Blue. I guess I'm just simply the kind of person that doesn't accept change that well. But like I said before, I wouldn't mind if we were forums.longlivethepack.com. From the standpoint of Internet promotion and availability, keeping an older domain name tends to w...

They are going to controll the population, by allowing limited hunting!? It works with some animals, but population control through hunting is a joke with wolves. What actually ends up happening is that they kill most of the wolves who are in packs and have good hunting skills, especially the alpha...

I can imagine some shlock studio making a movie about an Emo Werewolf complete with the "Why??? Why??? that seems to be the stock in trade for Emo "life" styles.... :( Actually, it fits in perfectly with the most stereotyped of movie werewolves, the Lon Chaney Jr. clones who are alwa...

Oh! That's awful. At least they say it was probably instant. I'd like my death to be instant.

I'm Spike, and if you wanted to label me, I'd be a punk. I'm a therian, and if you want to call me crazy, well (Bleep) you. I don't think anyone will call you crazy. Personal attacks of that sort are strongly discouraged on this board, but, conversely, discussions of therianism that are too detaile...

I decided to think of this as a genre question rather than as a "can werewolves only be bad guys" question. Werewolf movies in the fairy tale genre ( The 10th Kingdom , Ladyhawke , Brothers Grimm , Harry Potter , Big Fish ) can certainly work, even though we've seen few successes so far, b...

Today the people running this contest emailed me, and I'm thinking of submitting an article. If any of the rest of you are non-fiction article writers, or know of someone who does, you might want to check it out.

There HAVE been supposed sightings of thylacines, though. Some people think a few are still alive.

There certainly have been sightings, I've even got a page about it.

Okay, I just tried it and the downloads are finally working again.

He's only 8 months old, so he'll probably get even bigger.
