The Best Werewolf Movies Ever Made

A list of the best Werewolf movies, ranked by fans. This list includes movies about all sorts of movie monsters and creatures, which fall under the umbrella definition of "werewolf." Most follow standard werewolf mythology - human beings attacked by a wolf who then turn into one themselves on full moons, and violently attack their neighbors. Some, however, deviate from the traditional folklore in interesting ways, such as "American Werewolf in London's" humorous combination of werewolves with Jacob Marley-esque spirit guides.

A number of contemporary werewolf films - the "Twilight" series, most notably - feature fantasy universes in which the monsters co-exist with other mythological beasts, particularly vampires. (See also: the "Underworld" series.) In these stories, werewolves and vampires are locked in an epic struggle for domination of the night, typically. Ironic considering that Bram Stoker's vampires - and other early examples of the monsters in literature - were themselves capable of taking on a wolf-like form.
