Hollywood's Monster Reboot: Wolf Man Enters the Fray

Feb 23,25(4 months ago)

Dracula. Frankenstein's monster. The Invisible Man. The Mummy.

And, of course, the Wolfman.

These iconic horror figures have evolved and adapted over time, defying singular interpretations while consistently terrifying audiences across generations. Recently, we've seen a new Dracula (in Nosferatu form) from Robert Eggers, Guillermo del Toro is crafting a modern Frankenstein, and now writer-director Leigh Whannell offers his unique vision of the Wolfman.

However, the challenge remains: how does a filmmaker like Whannell capture modern audiences' attention with yet another werewolf movie, especially one centered on the well-established Wolfman character? More broadly, as Whannell himself notes, how do any filmmakers revitalize these classic monsters and make them both frightening and pertinent in the present day?

Gather your silver, prepare your wolfsbane, and sharpen your stakes – and prepare to delve into the metaphorical depths of these monster narratives – because we interviewed Whannell about the impact of classic monster movies on his work, his approach to resurrecting beloved creatures like the Wolfman in 2025, and why you should be excited!
