This is idiocy! Pure and simple.

Every culture in the world has a type of werewolf hidden in their legends and lore, and none of them are the retarded shape shifting guardians of vampire victims. I am sure that there are some stories of a werewolf or creature similar protecting mortals, but nothing like what Meyer has described.

To say that a movie which portrays the classical depiction of a werewolf is smearing the name of werewolves is lunacy! (Pardon the pun.)

As for the vampires, she has completely destroyed vampires for all of us who loved them.

My vote goes to the traditional, awesome, fuzzy “mutated” beasts of the night. Not the terrible things that Meyer has plagued the world with.

Twilight gives horror fans and literature a bad name.

Ugh….
OK, I’m not a fan of Twilight, but I ended up reading the books to see what they were all about. And wasn’t there a bit where it said that the wolves weren’t REAL werewolves, but something like shape shifters?

Either way the fan who wrote the letter is a moron. “How can a silver bullet kill a werewolf?” How the fuck do vampire sparkle, moron? This werewolf story was around long before fuckin’ Stephanie Meyer raped the world of fiction with her garbage.

Ugh. Meyer has completely ruined monsters. Now, I’m not saying that i have a problem with soulfull vamps and sexy werewolfs (Angel and Oz ftw) But they’re still deadly monsters who have killed people and need to be stabbed in the heart and sent to hell every once in a while. Meyer romanticized them and took all of the evil out of them. It makes me sick. That is all I have to say.

It’s unfortunate that the young believe that folklore only began with Harry Potter and Twilight, instead of actually bothering to seek out a book like Frankenstein, written back in 1816 by Mary Shelley? At least, it appears, the traumtized youngster who “actually” started to “like werewolves” (well, some of them don’t think much of humans, either!) is not so far removed from the scandalized reactions people experienced when Mary Shelley wrote such a horrifying story. Imagine! A WOMAN writing such things!In 1816. What’s the world coming to?? Shield the children!

I am reminded of George Santayana’s quote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” However, in current popular culture, perhaps it ought to be amended to, “Those who cannot remember the past are confined to re-writing it.”

First of all, let me say that I saw Wolfman on Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. I hope there is a second one to soon follow. Now, let me put this out there, I am a fellow twilighter and I have read the series a handful of times and I adore Stephanie Myers’ writing. I think that she is a fantastic writer with a vision for taking timeless classics and adjusting them a little bit to allow for those people who are not into the more gorey folklore. However, the blogger who actually the nerve to post such a baseless and idiotic piece should be slapped for even making us listen to her retarded rambling. She obviously did not actually read the books and she is only interested in the movies because of one of two reason: Robert Pattison or Taylor Lautner. Personally, I think that they ruined the books with the movies and that the actors and actresses chosen to represent the characters in Stephanie Myers books did an abysmal job at recreating the story that was told throughout her series.

There are many people out there who feel almost put out because of the changes that Stephanie made to traditional creatures. I understand your frustration with the changes that she has made to these characters; making them less horrific. However, as I already said, Stephanie takes the tradition creatures and makes them more likable for those people who have a weak stomach. So, for all of you who hate Stephanie Myer and the Twilight series, I apologize for the idiocy that this twilight fan has made you believe exists in all of the twilight fans. She is truly a disgrace to the term “twilight fan” and should really go back and reread all of the books before she opens her mouth again and spits her unneeded opinion.

@bignumone — Word in the office is that The Crazies is great. Expect reviews soon.

I agree with you Allie. I like *most* of these movies because they can bring in new characters in a fun way. It would be interesting to develop new myths and legends, though, rather than re-writing the old ones.
There is so much fuel to create something new, and to some extent we have. Aliens, Predator, Star Wars, Superman….all those and more are really like monsters, men, and gods of old. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see 1000 years from now and see what survived?
I hope the next installment of Twilight is good, because my wife wants to see it. But I want to see the Wolfman movie…and The Crazies…and Legion. Can you tell me if those were any good? Sorry, I just saw Snyder’s review of Legion, and I still want to see it. How about The Crazies?

@ewstephe – You’ll get no judgment from me. I’ve read ‘em. I’ll even go further: I even kind of like ‘em. I just don’t like what they’ve done to our monster lore.
