Wolf Man and Hollywood's Quest to Make Monsters Relevant Again

Author : Mia Update:Feb 22,2025

Dracula. Frankenstein's monster. The Invisible Man. The Mummy.

And, of course, the Wolf Man.

These iconic horror figures have evolved and adapted over time, defying singular interpretations while consistently terrifying audiences across generations. Recently, we've seen a new Dracula (in Nosferatu form) from Robert Eggers, Guillermo del Toro is crafting a modern Frankenstein, and now writer-director Leigh Whannell offers his unique vision of the Wolf Man.

Gather your silver, prepare your wolfsbane, sharpen your stakes—and hone your ability to decipher the symbolic depths of monster lore—because we discussed Whannell's approach, exploring the impact of classic monster movies on his work, his strategy for revitalizing beloved creatures like the Wolf Man in 2025, and ultimately, why you should care.
