werewolf films

Moon monster movies

Films featuring werewolves—humans who transform into wolves or wolf-like creatures, typically under a full moon.

The genre blends horror with tragic themes of cursed identity and loss of control.

Classic examples include *The Wolf Man* (1941) and *An American Werewolf in London* (1981).

Werewolf films often explore the boundary between human civilization and animal instinct: We watched werewolf films all Halloween weekend.
