Brotherhood of the Wolf has excellent cinematography and story, but I wouldn’t recommend it for minors because of the violence.

You certainly give a lot of food for thought on the subject Lauren. I never have watched a vamp or werewolf movie and in fact 1 year ago I hadn’t even read any of those kinds of books. But I have read your excerpts you posted on Cascadian Wolves and it was excellent! So I guess you might say I have been converted to Darker, Sexier Books these days since meeting authors and buying ebooks over the internet.

oooo Hugh! Love that guy lol. (He’s an Aussie too :D)

I’d much rather read a Were or Vamp book than see it as a movie. I couldn’t tell you the last were movie I saw, it was that long ago, but I’ve definitely read a were book recently.

Vamps… they’re another story. They’re not my favourite thing to read about, so it’s very rare that I read one.

Hmmm, well, Brotherhood of the Wolf is really excellent. It’s French and you can get the dubbed or subtitled version.

American Werewolf in London is one of my favorites, it’s got a great sense of humor about it.

Silver Bullet which is based on a short story by Stephen King is a good one.

The first Howling (but I personally found the rest to be awful)

Dog Soldiers was good (made for Sci Fi television but out on DVD).

Underworld was, eh, just okay but the sets and costumes make up for the fact that the story isn’t fleshed out enough. There are vamps and werwolves in it (and Scott Speedman!).

Oh great on the werwolf book from you! Was this one a novella or novel? Any ideas when it is out!? I’d love to read one of yours.
Honestly, I never saw a werewolf movie. Maybe when I was younger but being deaf, the theatres don’t have captioned movies and I lost interest in them sometimes having to wait a year for them to go to DVD’s. Must be why I read so much. What would you recommend to start with (to rent?)

Casper Van Dien in Dracula 2000, Wesley Snipes as Blade, Ryan Reynolds as the reformed vampire in Blade Trinity - all quite sexy.

But yeah, not a whole lot of sexy weres in movies. Loads in books though.

Oh, sexiest movie vampire: Chris Sarandon in Fright Night, hands down!

Now this is funny, I can’t think of an amazingly sexy movie were, except for Nastassia Kinski in Cat People. She sizzled. But the smokin’ alpha male, were (haha) is he? - Charlene

Even vamps are sexier in books too. Whenever I’m asked to name a favourite vampire movie, the same old names come up and none close to being my favourite.

I don’t consider Wolverine a werewolf but Hugh Jackman was a werewolf for a short spell of time in Van Helsing.

This is an intersting topic. I hadn’t really thought about it but you’re absolutely right. Werewolves in books are much sexier than movies. I wonder if it’s because what we picture when we read can’t be duplicated on screen…yet.
