wolfwalkers is, to me, the definitive werewolf film. its not overly dark, but it is unique in that it portrays werewolves as actual pack animals who need company, and family. but by their very nature, are excluded from the society that is supposed to provide it. it has other themes as well, like nature vs nurture, fear as a means of control, etc. and is overall just a gorgeous thing to watch.
It honestly runs very close to “canonical” werewolves and I mean canon in the biblical sense. It’s a long and fun story but the short version is the culturally the Celts did not fear wolves like other people did so they didn’t hold a stigma of them. However in the eyes of Foreign Christians who recently took the area they did not share the sentiment and saw Wolves as evil creatures. Celts also created the idea of Werewolves and for them they were protectors of humanity from witches and evil creatures. Given previous bias I stated the powers that be thought this absolutely ridiculous and beyond the idea of wolves being protectors of man the very idea of turning into an animal was seen as not possible. God made man in his image, why would God allow people to turn into animals? Werewolves bounced from being just a bunch of nonsense to heresy and back again. In General it was seen as wacky nonsense in much the same way Christians thought Witchcraft was a bunch of nonsense as Demons can’t grant people powers that power belongs to god. But that got people thinking “if the celts insist Werewolves are protectors of humanity and only God can give people powers, wouldn’t that mean Werewolves are technically possible?” Which was a difficult thing to deny and eventually the Religious authorities relented on the idea of Werewolves saying they could potentially exist but they would obviously be benevolent and good beings blessed by god.
Even though we don't have wolves in Brazil, the werewolf is a folkloric character here. However, according to folklore tradition, its anthropomorphic appearance is more related to pigs and dogs and usually looks like a sick and suffering being. Feeding mainly on leftovers and carrion.
According to Brazilian folklore, a boy is destined to become a werewolf when he is the seventh child of a couple who previously had only daughters. Turning into Friday nights.
as a werewolf enthusiast i screamed when i saw this. I've been writing a werewolf novel in my head for like 5 years, i wish i knew you cuz id love to just talk about werewolves with people lol. I watched Big Wolf On Campus when I was like 8 and have been obsessed with werewolves ever since.
My first experience with werewolves and one of my earliest experiences with fantasy was when I read the book Wereworld Rise of Wolf. The premise is that in this world, each person of noble blood turns into an animal that is equal to their rank in the noble hierarchy, so the king turns into a lion and a noble with very little power turns into an otter, and the main character is a werewolf and a descendent of the previous king that was usurped by the lion king. It's not a masterpiece but the tone is gritty and each character has unique motivations and personalities even though there are a lot of characters in the book. I recommend it.
The context of the "Wolfman" is interesting...Hitler and the Nazis used a lot of wolf imagery (ie the "wolf pack" of U-boats...apparently "The Three Little Pigs" was one of Hitler's favorite Disney cartoons. While long after the movie, in 1945 the Nazis had a plan for resistence/guerrilla group called "Werwolf" to basically continue fighting in Allied occupied Germany)...so the idea of a wolf chasing down and killing a victim identified by a star is very interesting...
I read “Such Sharp Teeth” by Rachel Harrison and what struck me the most was that, while it wasn’t outwardly scary beyond how visceral the transformation sequences were written (to anyone writing a werewolf book: read this one, even if it’s just for these scenes), was that it’s horror was of the more subtle variety. The horror of a major disruption in your life that drastically changes it and upends any plans you made. The book is mainly about the protagonist figuring out how to deal with her newfound lycanthropy while her twin sister is going through a pregnancy that she reveals to have her own misgivings and fears about. It’s not as in your face as most horror tends to be, but bringing up that feeling made me think about what would happen if I had a major accident that left me with a condition I would have to live with the rest of my life. And how terrifying it would be in the beginning, looking at the path I thought I would be going down and finding it so fundamentally changed. Sure, it would hopefully get better with adjustments and healing. But that initial moment is still very scary. That’s what the book ends up being about; a young woman who just got her life upended and must learn how to make room for this new change.
I'm more into vampires when it comes to their folklores and legends more than medias. The stories of werewolves also fascinate me as well such as the Beast of Gevaudan. You guys should cover up some vampire tales such as Peter Plogojowits and Mercy Brown.
I mean one of the best things is that you can get a twink who can turn into a big dommy wolf man. I can’t be the only one who thinks this is a good thing. I am not even entertaining it in jest. Like… come on.
Now that I've seen the video, I'm SUPER pleased my novel is going in directions completely left unmentioned in this video. I'm trying not to fall into the belief that I'm doing something completely new with Werewolves in my novel, but I'm glad that what I am doing is rare enough that it should feel fresh.
I’d like to see a video on vampires honestly. But the stories of werewolves are quite fascinating to be honest, particularly with some real life examples like the Beast of Gevaudan.
It's nice there's a lil surge of werewolf media as of late and hope there's no sign of stopping, especially if The Howling Netflix remake and that reboot series of Ginger Snaps are still cooking in the media oven, we're *starved* of such stuff! :3
I do remember being obsessed with werewolves to the point I even pretended to certain people at school that I would wake in on the night of the full moon and roam the streets as a werewolf (and got bullied by others when this inevitably spread). At the time the idea of the transformation was inherently cool, which I would attribute to my love of the animorph book series which was big at the time. I’m slightly surprised there was no mention of the Amanda Seyfried Red Riding Hood. This one turns the wolf into a werewolf and there is a bit of a murder mystery element to it with you questioning who is the wolf and who can you really trust, because even the normal humans have darkness in them and arguably are even more despicable than the wolf at the end of the day.
I'd say Werewolf by Night is the Dracula of Werewolves. Of course I'm a biased little Marvel fan, but I think Jack Russel is ABSOLUTELY the quintessential Werewolf character. Michael Giacchinno's holiday special was alright, but it got mixed up in introducing so many aspects of the supernatural world of Marvel, and it felt far too short to really make the characters all that impactful. But the character himself is perfect. Though I didn't quite like the Werewolf design in the special. I hope Marvel makes the design progressively become more wolf-like and animalistic over time to increase the drama of Jack's existence as his alter ego becomes more and more uncontrollable, and also to make the design better.
I've gotta say, Cat People is a favorite of mine.....both the original and the 1980's remake. The latter's use of the leopard curso for sexual desire is effective!
Great video! A more recent depiction I really enjoyed was in the Netflix show "Wednesday." They're a clique in the school and the one we follow, Enid, is a late bloomer who can't transform yet. It's a simple but cute puberty metaphor 🐺
47:22 So Terry Pratchett's werewolves are SUPER interesting and is kind of this! There are different types, they have support groups, they have history with vampires- he never intends metaphors but readers often read into them. His most prominent one is Angua, who turns into a wolf and can mostly control it, but uses her keen sense of smell to aid her detective work as a copper. Her family are fascist werewolf cult that she ran away from- they're very angry at her for a lot of reasons, but not eating people and dating a human is at the top of their list.
I play Dungeons and Dragons with a couple groups of people, and one of my favorite character concepts that I came up with is a werewolf barbarian. She developed her barbarian rage hoping that if she let the beast out as a human, she'd have more control when the full moon came around. I was leaving it up to the DM to determine how well it actually worked. Unfortunately, that campaign never actually started.
Love werewolves, and really enjoyed this video. I have to admit, i didnt realize that Company of Wolves is directly parodied in a Halloween episode of Community, to excellent effect.
Definitely with you on more 'were' adjacent creatures. With the werewolves and others of its same archetype, I always found it interesting that we, as a collective, have a fascination either associating or conceding with animals. It's not something like Hulk or Titans from Attack on Titans, in which it's just a humanoid pseudo approximation of the person it has transformed into.
I think thats why I like the Fera in Werewolf: The Apocalypse more than the Werewolves/Garou. You have absolutely buckwild shit like the Werelizards that can tap into DNA memory to become dinosaurs, Were-spiders that give the Vampires/Kindred a run for their money with how they need blood, Were-Sharks that make a sport out of clowning on people who pollute the sea, Were-Crows that are messengers between the other Shapechanger species, etc
@@jtlego1 That's so interesting to hear about, especially the 'Were-Shark' example you used in how this sect of were-creature has an extracurricular activity that is tailored by the unique perspective and environment they [Were-Sharks] occupy.
Oh man I really found the idea of "Just letting go, and maybe it being a good thing" very interesting, because we do tend to restrain ourselves due to the society we were born in, putting away our own desires to make others comfortable, even if they are objectively harmless towards others. Would you be interested in doing a Darkstalkers video concerning Lilith? I find her very interesting, and her dynamic with Morrigan trying to be her own person.
Since you brought up Werewolf: The Apocalypse, I implore you to check out Werewolf: the Essentials. It's an independent project that aims to tackle some of the challenging cultural implications the original framework puts forth, while also making it more accessible to newcomers! 52:06
I can't even remember the first Werewolf content I saw, but I've been consuming any I can get my hands on. Werewolf by Night, Love Death and Robots, Ginger Snaps, Teen Wolf the series, Van Hellsing, Underworld, Benicio Del Toro WolfMan, that said best transformations go to Love Death and Robots, The WolfMan Benicio Del Toro, and Van Hellsing they make the transformation look as painful as it is liberating.(honorable mention Silver Bullet)
I was always more into witches cause of course im a queer woman it comes with the territory; but the werewolf works alot like my favorite monster; frankensteins monster. I adore the misunderstood human monster concept. it's so easy to imagine around.
When my group finishes our current D&D campaign, I'll be DMing Curse of Strahd, and I've been making changes to the werewolf statblock to make them more interesting. I've also changed up some of the mechanics for how one gets turned into a werewolf, as well as how one cures oneself.
Barovian werewolves, at least in my campaign, can be made either in utero, via a relatively simple ritual performed beneath the light of the full moon, or by being bitten by Kiril. Kiril is a unique werewolf who turns Large sized in his beast/hybrid shape and had his powers enhanced by a vestige in the Amber Temple. Remove Curse no longer ends lycanthropy. Instead, it merely suppresses it for 24 hours. To end the condition, one must acquire certain components and then upcast Remove Curse as the full moon rises. Upcasting even further will allow one to cure a naturalborn werewolf. The material components are either an alchemic mixture that would take some downtime to formulate, or the Heart Stone of a night hag.
My first exposure to werewolves was reading Werewolf By Night from Marvel comics. Horror comics were a big thing for me way back then. Though, cinema wise, my first proper werewolf movie was probably The Wolfen. Since then The Company of Wolves, Silver Bullet, etc, have entered my life. I feel like I've not done the genre right by not watching Gingersnaps yet. That's a must watch for me. Yes, I've played in The World of Darkness, and I immediately saw the copyright problems with the Underworld series. No spoilers, but the Trick or Treat anthology has a neat tip of the hat to our Lycanthropes too.
As a lifelong LGBT furry, I've always found the traditional angle on the werewolf to be silly and illogical. Turning into a wolf would just be rad as fuck, there is no negative way to spin it that makes any kind of sense to me. It's the ultimate liberation, sexually, from humanity, from social rules, etc. But, it kind of makes sense: They supposedly represent the horror of becoming an outsider, but we're *already* outsiders who *like* being outsiders. Where a normal person sees a tragedy in losing their insider status, I can't see anything but freedom.
Okay, I already mentioned the Dutch children book series _Dolfje Weerwolfje_ (Alfie the Werewolf) in the comments of your last Halloween-esque vid already. Do I need to talk about it again? Funnily enough, in one of the later books (one that was never released in English), I got some sort of trans allegory out of it? Basically, Dolfje got kidnapped by his biological parents (who abandoned him long ago when they find out he was going to become a werewolf when he becomes 7 years old), and then enlist a Romanian troll-like woman (who actually was a young woman that was cursed into a troll woman) to un-werewolfify him by indoctrination, punishment, and attempting to ingest a potion that will make him a normal boy (and all that just so the parents can get a massive inheritance). But at this point, Dolfje loves being a werewolf and doesn't want his lycanthropy to be undone (and he already has a found family in his foster/adoption parents and brother), so he refuses and keeps resisting until his family rescues him. I dunno if Paul van Loon intended it to be a trans allegory, but that's what I got out of it. Side note, the were-animal thing at the end reminds me of a Phineas and Ferb episode in which Doofenshmirtz becomes a were-cow. And yes, it was a Halloween episode too.
R u SuRe U Not A FU4RRRRY?!?1 Yes to more were-beast aside from the werewolf. Also, I know this is about the Halloween monster werewolf, but something that's even less talked about is the Bisclavret-type werewolf, the noble knight who so happens to be a werewolf. Has anyone heard of that? Cuz I haven't since highschool.
American Werewolf in London is one of my favourite movies of all time. And I think my ideal werewolf film would be American Werewolf in London, but gay. And while I'm not going to say 'and more horny' - American Werewolf in London is already plenty horny - I am going to say at least as horny. (Depending on how you define 'werewolf' I think the first werewolf-related media I recall seeing would have been the British children's drama Woof!, which was about a boy who would periodically and uncontrollably turn into a dog and back. I'm not entirely sure what the first... Traditional... werewolf I saw would have been) One thing that came up in one of the interviews did remind me of something - In the writer's notes for the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama Loups-Garoux, the writer mentions... IIRC... "Werewolves are real. They have websites. Surprisingly happy." and all my mind has been able to think about that audio drama since is "Just how much furry art did this man encounter while doing researching for this script?"
0:47 Wrong, you could technically trace the were-wolf back to greek mythology, it was a whole story and everything, I think the name Lycan could be traced back to one of the characters.
I'm confused. I thought Queerness and AIDS were different because AIDS can encompass both heterosexuality and homosexuality (despite the harmful misconception over the decades). Can someone explain that as I am someone who likely does not understand anything?
@@agramugliaMy comment got deleted for some reason. I wanted to say that I was confused because I don't understand why people don't and/or didn't realize that heterosexuals can also get AIDS, and how the world incorrectly thought/thinks that AIDS means Queer.

This was phenomenal. Culture needs more Werewolves!
American Werewolf in London is one of my favourite movies of all time. And I think my ideal werewolf film would be American Werewolf in London, but gay. And while I'm not going to say 'and more horny' - American Werewolf in London is already plenty horny - I am going to say at least as horny.
(Depending on how you define 'werewolf' I think the first werewolf-related media I recall seeing would have been the British children's drama Woof!, which was about a boy who would periodically and uncontrollably turn into a dog and back. I'm not entirely sure what the first... Traditional... werewolf I saw would have been)
One thing that came up in one of the interviews did remind me of something - In the writer's notes for the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama Loups-Garoux, the writer mentions... IIRC... "Werewolves are real. They have websites. Surprisingly happy." and all my mind has been able to think about that audio drama since is "Just how much furry art did this man encounter while doing researching for this script?"
OMG A sequel to the OSP werewolf video!!!!!! yay :3
How fitting for the Halloween season.
so...here's a question: is the movie "wolf children" a werewolf story?
Yes
what about more fantasy werewolfs like in elder scrolls and how they relate to dieties like hiricine
werewolf enthusiast here just leaving comment for the algorithm etc etc
I’m sorry, is the thumbnail Ant himself in a fursona with bisexual coloring? Cuz that rules! ❤
This is perfect for my novella I'm writing. Thank you!
Wow
Finally, ant’s furry video
I don't suppose a video similar to this but for vampires would be doable?
All werewolves are hot, that's just a fact
🌕🐺
HELL YEAH THATS SICK DUDE
okay furry friends here we go
0:47 Wrong, you could technically trace the were-wolf back to greek mythology, it was a whole story and everything, I think the name Lycan could be traced back to one of the characters.
Literally 6:15. Have patience.
Oh yeah, I mention this.
@@Rodomist All good
I'm confused. I thought Queerness and AIDS were different because AIDS can encompass both heterosexuality and homosexuality (despite the harmful misconception over the decades). Can someone explain that as I am someone who likely does not understand anything?
AIDS was considered a problem in the queer community for quite some time.
@@agramugliaBut even heterosexuals can get AIDS. It's not restricted to anyone.
@@agramugliaMy comment got deleted for some reason. I wanted to say that I was confused because I don't understand why people don't and/or didn't realize that heterosexuals can also get AIDS, and how the world incorrectly thought/thinks that AIDS means Queer.
@@SweetT80124 it got deleted?? That is strange.
@@agramuglia Probably a glitch.
