I've long had an interest in vampires, werewolves, and other freaky creatures. My first published article dealt with the topic. So I'm pretty geeked about the upcoming werewolf movie. If you want to see one of the best werewolf sites on the Web, go to Haunted America Tours website: The Return of the Werewolf. Lots of great pics and narrative. Sample:
It was not as easy detecting werewolves among the human population as it was to hunt down the vampires lurking in the shadows. Perhaps the most essential difference between the two creatures of the Darkside is the fact that the werewolf is not a member of the undead. When werewolves were not in the throes of transformation precipitated by the rays of the full moon or the wearing of the magic wolf belt, they walked about the bustling streets of the city or the pleasant country lanes appearing as any normal human.
Werewolves have no need to scamper off to a coffin before the rays of the rising sun begin to burn welts into their hide. Werewolves can freely walk in sunlight.
Mirrors offer no problem for werewolves. They can straighten their collar or comb their hair without worrying if they are casting a reflection. Crucifixes are of no concern. Werewolves might even wear the sign of the cross themselves, attend church services, and perhaps even serve as members of the clergy.
That's it for today. Twelve-hour days at the office have left me strapped for time. If you're getting pummeled with snow like we are, enjoy the marshmallow world.
