Werewolf movies ranked

Werewolf movies usually fall within one of two groups- deadly serious, or schlocky garbage. Both can great. Some split the movie between these two tones. This list doesn't make any distinction between...

Watched this one last week with the boys over at Ruff Cuts. We recapped and talked about the film for the pod. Should you watch Yorkie Werewolf this spooky season? Man, I still don't know.

this is the time for would-be patrons to shine tbh. get small, get local. a new favorite piece of art or writing or music is in your area, i promise.

pov: every artist and writer you know realizing that social media is collapsing into a bog of rich arrogant dumb-dumbs, leaving us the option of continuing to exploit ourselves on the extremely off-chance we go "viral" OR opting out and resigning ourselves to regional lit mag poverty and obscurity

I'd want a snout. For smelling better.

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 2d

Today I’m thinking about the flat faced werewolves like Wolf Man and Oz from Buffy… and also the snout men werewolves like from Van Helsing and Dog Soldiers.

I think if I was a werewolf, I’d be ragin if I was one of them flat faced ones.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Marvel just not bothering to take people to court over ripping off the Punisher logo the same way they would for literally any other piece of IP has consequences and here they are now www.theguardian.com/books/2020/j...

So my local zoo @phoenixzoo.bsky.social invited me and a few other comic artists to participate in a gallery show!

Comic Conservation will have an Opening Celebration, this October 4th, from 9am to 1pm.

(The show runs 'til Jan 2026 tho)

You should go peep the art!
And then go peep the animals!

A small illustration in black and white of myself from behind. I'm looking at two pieces of art (my own) from the Comic Conservation show at the Phoenix Zoo's Wild Side Gallery.

The opening celebration will be this October 4th, from 9am to 1pm.

And the show runs until January 2026
