◉ werewolves II
REFERENCES: WEREWOLVES [films & books]
Okay, so another reference list. This is mostly a list of films and books you might want to consult for more information about werewolves, or simply for fun. There are old ones, and new ones, horror and comedy. I have seen only very few of these, and most of those so long ago it’s impossible for me to judge their validity, but hopefully that’ll change soon. I have left out titles like Belle and the Beast because I felt like there is too little of a relation to the werewolves I am talking about.
For now it’s just titles, additional information will most likely follow suit.
Bold titles are absolute classics. Post 2000 I have only kept titles that rate above a 5.5 on IMDB. I have decided to not go by this rule for the older films as I feel some people who voted on these movies might have biased views due to poorer visual effects. I also stayed away from the Harry Potter and Twilight series because a) everyone knows them and b) the werewolves in Twilight are fucking puppies wtf.
