Top 5 werewolves...

Still amazed at how good the werewolf was in Doctor Who on Saturday here is the official Cavblog top five movie werewolves...

5. The Curse of the Werewolf
"He fought the hideous curse of his evil birth, but his ravished victims were proof that the cravings of his beast-blood demanded he kill... Kill... KILL." It was a toss up between this chap, the original Wolf-man, the Werewolf of London or Paul Naschy but Ollie Reeds wolf wins out in the man-with-fur-glued-to-his-face variety. Wonderfully iconic if from a slightly boring film. Hammer should have done another wolf film to get it right.



4. The Wolf-Man, Van Helsing
Is it heresy to admit to liking this movie? OK it has it's flaws but it's fun, hokum all the way through. And the wolf-man is a huge, lolloping hunk of silver fur. I'd rather face Lon Chaney Jr's fuzzy-faced wolf than this beast in a dark wood any day.



3. Dog Soldiers
Saying that, there's something about a man in a wolf-suit, isn't there. Granted they're better when they're running about in the shadows and you don't see much of them, but which monster isn't...



2. Underworld
Another film that I'm not sure if you're supposed to like (personally I love it) but fantastic wolves none-the-less, especially as they're another case of a great man-in-a-suit-monster (with a little bit of CGI here or there to help out). And werewolves that can run across walls and ceilings? Pant-wettingly scary..



1. American Werewolf in London
Obviously this bad-boy has to be on the list and it has to be at number one. Has a transformation ever looked more painful? And of course, ignoring the wolf, there's that scene in the shower. If you squint and use your imagination...



So there you go wolf-pickers, there are my top five. Do you agree or do you think I'm talking a load of Loup-Garoux poop. Let me know.

PS. On the subject of werewolves don't forget you can still join the SAVE THE WEREWOLF cause!
