and, of course, werewolves. These shapeshifters are found in movies from the '80s, '90s and 2000s — and across cultures, Jack Daly, a folklorist and host of the “The Monster Folklorist” podcast, tells TODAY.com.
"The history of werewolves is itself very interesting, and dates back in literature to classical mythology," Daly says, starting with Ovid's"Metamorphoses," in which King Lycaon is turned into a wolf as punishment for serving Jupiter human flesh, and appearing in Norse mythology and Slavic folklore. In some South American countries, the seventh son of the seventh son is thought to be cursed as a “lobizon," or a werewolf.
"From a metaphorical perspective, werewolves are often thought to represent the bestial, darker side of our self. The fact that werewolves often commit crimes such as murder and cannibalism indicate that they are taking part in acts that we have deemed inhuman," Daly says. Werewolfism is considered a curse, per Daly — but"many stories and instances from folklore show that the werewolf is a tragic figure and a victim of forces beyond their control.""Teen Wolf" began with a 1985 movie starring Michael J. Fox of the same name and has since become a teen TV showanother movie, which is a sequel. Start anywhere you please: The themes will be the same throughout."Twilight" is, technically, a vampire movie, but it's a werewolf movie, too.
