Yes, one of my favorites, saw it in the theater when it came out.

You know it was on the cover of Time Magazine.

I think I still have that 1975 issue of Time Magazine somewhere.

Bitten. Only because of the super hot Erica Cox. God I lust that woman.

Dog Soldiers (2002) trailer

A great UK movie.

Before I saw Dog Soldiers in the early 2000s, my favorite werewolf movies were The Howling (1981) and An American Werewolf in London (1982). IMO, the single best werewolf transformation scene still remains the one in the first Howling movie. But Dog Soldiers is the most fun werewolf movie for me.

The makers of Dog Soldiers did not use CGI werewolves; instead, they used stunt people in werewolf costumes, and wearing stilts as part of the costumes, to give them canine legs, and to make them taller.

I really like The Wolfman (2010) With Benecio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt. It harkens back to the original 1940's werewolf/wolfman movies. It had such a great cast the movie couldn't be anything but good.

Midsommar (2019 trailer)

A new(er) movie I'd like to check out at some point. From the director of Hereditary. I've heard some good things about this film.

Jim,

In the process of watching it now.

Reminds me of all those cults back in the 60's and 70's.

Whack jobs...

Doc,

I agree that the 2010 Wolfman was good. The only thing I wished for was for the werewolf to have a canine head. But I do know that it was based on the 1941 original, with the more human, snoutless face/head.

Nope, you can get that much just from the description of the movie.

I actually like that the werewolf (were = man) or wolfman still had a human head and attributes. That, to me, is a lot more creepy.

That's cool, Doc. We all have our preferences, which is what gives variety. The 2010 Wolfman is definitely my favorite "snoutless" werewolf movie.

*Two videos below:

As a kid, I used to like The Curse of the Werewolf (1961), which featured a snoutless werewolf; although in retrospect, the werewolf's behavior isn't very animalistic.

The werewolf movie that totally switched me over to preferring werewolves with canine features was The Howling (1981); and in particular, this transformation scene:

Jim,

Yup, I agree the Howling was good and had a good case too.

[Doc Dan]

The Howling was a good movie, over all. There were some hokey parts, especially at the end. Still, how can you argue with a movie that had a young Dee Wallace in it? AaoooooH!

Well yes, can't argue with that, Dee Wallace.

Off the top of my head, these are my two favorite classic haunted house movies of all time:

The Legend of **** House (1973), trailer

The original novel that it's based on, **** House by Richard Matheson, is great, too.

https://youtu.be/5JigzXA1jzU

The Haunting (1963), trailer

The 1963 version is an absolute classic. The 1999 remake sucked, as remakes tend to do.

I used to watch horror films allot but my girlfriend can not handle watching them.
But The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal will always be my favorites.
The way Anthony Hopkins brings Dr Lecter to life always give me goosebumps.
For me they are true Masterpieces.

Agreed. Anthony Hopkins epitomized the character.
