valarltd7. What's your favorite Halloween character?
Werewolves, because it's a blood moon
Werewolves are a fave rave around here, whether metaphors, vicious predators, or ordinary architects who have a bad hair night. Werewolf movies are hard to do well, though. The effects are often risible. Some pack a punch though. Lots of people complain about Lupin in Prisoner of Azkhaban. I did not. This picture haunted my nightmares from early double digits.
The Wolf Man was the first horror movie to make a real impression on me, one that lasted a long time (I still don't like being outside after dark.)
The first stand-alone short story I wrote professionally was gay Christmas werewolves, called "Cake under the Mistletoe." (right click to download a free .pdf If you enjoy the first adventure, four more are collected in Riding the Nightmare)
And tonight is a night to howl.
