Werewolf Movie Image Repository 1980s
It's no secret that I love werewolves and horror movies, so it feels natural to start a project where I catalogue all the werewolf films I've seen with high quality* screencaps of all the werewolves themselves. I'll be treating this journal entry like a continuing work in progress, the same way I'm treating my masterlist of music videos with anthro animals, adding more films over time as I watch them. I like rainy day projects and I like putting eyes on lesser seen films, especially ones that have cool practical effects in them. Please note- I'm not removing the letterboxing on some of the images because that's a ton of extra work and it also will mean images of different sizes. Sorry.
*Many of these films have had Blu-Ray remasters, which I've used for the source, but some films never made it past VHS or DVD transfer.
This series will be films by decade so that you can view them by time period. If you want to see the caps for a specific film, hit control f and type in the title of the film and you can automatically jump to the entry. While I could make separate entries for each film, I feel like that'd be incredibly spammy- I want to use my blog for other things besides just dumping movie screencaps and relegating myself to only one type of material when there's lots of other subjects that interest me.
What I'll be including: any live action full length films, made for tv films, short films. The werewolves will range from the classic Wolf-Man style to more animalistic interpretations. I will also include films that aren't exclusively werewolf-centric, as long at they prominently feature a werewolf at some point (ie: anthologies like Trick r Treat, multiple creature films like Waxwork or Monstersquad, etc). Along with werewolves, I'll also be including a handful of films that deal with similar shape-shifters such as were-cats (Junoon, Sleepwalkers, etc) because there's not a ton of those.
What I will not be including in the series: tv shows (I will probably do a separate post for those), commercials, video games, music videos (already covered on the other aforementioned post), movies where the werewolf is only shown as an actual wolf or dog- unless there's an impressive transformation scene with practical or digital effects. I'm also not including the Harry Potter movies or the Twilight Movies in this series because there's enough pictures of them online and I do not want to see these movies. I'm also not including any films where "werewolf" just means a guy with fangs/creature contact lenses and nothing else, there's got to be some kind of actual monstrous and inhuman elements.
This journal entry features werewolf films from the 80s. I will continue to update this entry as I cap more films, so check back once in a while to see if there's anything new. I started here because that's where some of the most iconic and impressive practical effects began.

I think the reason the werewolf is only on the box art and in promo pics is that they're just re-using props from The Howling VI: The Original Nightmare.
