Why, hello there!

Post by PhantasmaWolf »

Hi. :P Well, I'm obviously new here! I have been intrigued by werewolves even at the tender age of 6 when I first saw a cheesy Scooby Doo-esque cartoon. I'm fascinated with the mythology on them and have taken it upon myself to read a lot of it. I actually haven't seen a lot of movies about werewolves, but I've read A LOT up on them. I'm a writer and an artist by nature, and I simply couldn't get along without it! I'm also in my school's choir and I enjoy that quite a bit as well, even though I don't feel I have any extrodinary or outstanding talent by any means. I do it simply for fun, and to perhaps familarize myself more with music and to make my voice a bit better. If you're wondering, yes, I am a girl, and I am a teenager. But I'm definatly not saying how old I am because I'm one of those people who are very paranoid about handing out too much personal info on the 'net. XD I'm into vampires as well, and I am re-reading Dracula currently. Strangely, my favorite character from it is Renfield, the insane slave I'm sure no one here has any idea of. I'm obsessed with books and musical theater, especially the more gothic classic horror stories like Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll and Hyde, and of course, Dracula. I'm not planning on picking up Frakenstein anytime soon though. I've just never been very interested in it. =/ I know this has been very long and lengthy, but in any case, hello!

Welcome, PhantasmaWolf! I'm a female teenager too - there's more of us here than you may think! I draw and write as well, and I sing when no one is around ( but play lots of instruments to make up for it)!

If you feel up to it, post some of your artwork or writing in the respective boards in The Creative Den. Us here at the Pack are voracious fans of any werewolf art, it seems, so we (and I) would love to see what you can do!

And yes, watch out for ducky-pelting. I see you have a hard-hat, so...

Welcome to the Pack.

On the topic of Renfield, have you read Renfield: Slave of Dracula, by Barbara Hambly? It's rather good, though it's been a while since I read it so I forget the details of it.

Hi, PhantasmaWolf! Good to meet you. Feel free to hunt around at your leisure.

Ah the zoophagous maniac Dr. Seward was so fascinated by! A classic character to be sure. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the best interpreation of him (outside of Stoker, that is) was in the Bela Lugosi classic film. Deliciously insane!

Don't sell Shelly short (say that five times fast! :lol: ). I am particularly fond of the following quote from the monster:

"Are you to be happy while I grovel in the intensity of my wretchedness? You can blast my other passions; but revenge remains--revenge, henceforth dearer than light or food! I may die; but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful. I will watch with the wiliness of a snake, that I may sting with its venom. Man, you shall repent of the injuries you inflict."

Powerful lines to be sure.

Once again, welcome!

Huzzah! Another musical lover! :) Isn't it funny how all four of those books have been adapted into musicals?

Ahem...pardon my excitement. Welcome to the Pack!

The Jekyll & Hyde musical kicks all sorts of a**. And now I feel compelled to throw a link at you two.

It's in Korean, but it's awesome.

Also. :welcome: Phantasma.

Thanks for the welcome everyone :howl:  :oo

Set: Ah, yes! That video! ^^ I love that one! I think he's probably one of the best I've heard, even if it is in a foreign language.

Cyberwatt: I'm glad someone recognizes him. I love Renfield's portrayal in the Bela Lugosi film as well, very memorable. That really is a good quote, and is now actually making me consider reading it eventually. XD Maybe when I have less things to read for school and then analyze.

Wingman: No, I haven't read it, but I think my public library has it, and I'm hopefully going to pick it up sometime soon, I really do want to.

Lycanthropful: I was actually a little nervous joining at first seeing as many of the members seemed to be quite a bit older than me. I think I will share some of my stuff, if I get up the guts to do so!
