Summary
In this episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we continue our Creature Features series with a look at one of horror’s most enduring and tragic monsters, the werewolf. Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria explore how werewolves have evolved in film, beginning with early silent-era appearances and moving through classic Universal horror, Hammer Films, and modern cult favorites. Along the way, they discuss how folklore, atmosphere, makeup effects, and performance helped shape the cinematic werewolf. Films covered include Werewolf of London, The Wolf Man, Curse of the Werewolf, The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, Silver Bullet, Ginger Snaps, and Dog Soldiers. The conversation highlights standout performances, practical effects, shifting mythology, and the emotional themes that make werewolf stories resonate across generations.
