Being Hungry Like The Wolf Is Hard To Do

 Okay, so I made a blog about vampires and the way they are presented in the movies. But what about werewolves? I mean come on, are they meant for comedy relief or are they meant for sexual allusions?

 I thought that October, or the season of Fall would in fact spark some creativity and surprisingly it is! So I have created another reasoning as to why our view of werewolves might have gone down the drain, if the fur clog fits that is.

1. Werewolves are technically considered hairy and rabid. If you have ever seen some adaptations of these movies, you know what I am talking about. Perhaps these would jog your memory: Blood & Chocolate (2007), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), and Red Riding Hood (2011). They're always meant to be that one quality we all like in a man.

2. Shape shifting would be considered a man's period. Like most teenage movies where the boy is a werewolf, he is most likely unable to have a normal relationship with a girl because he is so afraid that she might be scared of him if she finds out he's furry once a month. Don't believe me? Think of all the movies about werewolves and the TV adaptations of using werewolves where the boy is turning into a wolf and he cannot even have a proper life because of his condition.

3. Werewolves are another allusion to horny men. The song Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran would be some way of explaining why men get to...urge-like. But from the youngest age a girl could ever be, she learns the whole farm of what men really are and no I will not mention these because I am seriously trying to keep a PG/PG-13 rating.

4. Werewolf Syndrome actually exist. For those who don't know what Werewolf Syndrome is, it is a condition where all of the hair on the body grows all over the person. It is a rare genetic mutation, often located by people who live in countries that do not have an adequate system of government let alone health care for the people within that particular country. Where you can find some of these people who have this rare condition are often featured in freak shows for the amusement of normal people.

5. There are a growing number of novels where the wolfman is portrayed as a sexy heroine. Basically women have gone from being sucked dry of pleasure to the furry adequate of a sex pillow. Some novels who use people who are werewolves are often portrayed as these muscular men, often shirtless, often furry once a month. You might notice that a recent amount of young adult fiction is now using the werewolf as a more sexier person than it's vampire counterpart. Once In A Full Moon (2010) and Anita Blake series (1993-)are just some of the novels that include the notion of sexy werewolves.

 No matter how you look at monsters, the times are changing. It's no longer fear of these monsters, which was how they were originally represented, now its all about those muscles, deadly gaze that is often sexual and inciting, and of course the usual transformation from man to beast in the most spontaneous and beautiful ways possible for so many people to get a bite out of those amazing stories we know and love today.
