These three monster movies kicked off a decade of howling-good Werewolf storytelling.
Ever since cinema's origins, werewolves have been a massive part of the greater horror canon, but they've never had a better year at the movies than 1981. For a few decades, these giant dog-like beasts had taken a back seat in the mind of the movie-going public, but in '81, audiences were treated with two bangers and an attempt at greatness with An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, and Wolfen.
'The Howling' Is a Mean Monster Movie The first of these three 1981 werewolf movies to hit theaters was The Howling, released on March 13, 1981, and directed by the mastermind behind Gremlins, Joe Dante. Before Dante's film, hardly anyone had seen such a modern take on this monster.
'Wolfen' Is the Tamest of the Three 1981 Werewolf Movies The second werewolf film released in 1981 would be Wolfen, released on July 24th of that year and directed by Michael Wadleigh. It follows a New York City cop named Dewey Wilson who does his best to find the killer behind a series of brutal murders. Hmmm... I wonder what could be behind this.
Why Is 'An American Werewolf in London' the Greatest Werewolf Movie Ever? The biggest werewolf movie of 1981 is obvious. That's right, it's An American Werewolf in London. John Landis' horror-comedy hybrid is the most haunting, eeriest, darkly comic movie in the entire werewolf subgenre. In short, it absolutely rocks. The film follows two American backpackers traveling across England who are attacked by a werewolf, leading one of them to become a werewolf himself.
