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

Author : Evelyn Mar 03,2025

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

And, of course, the Wolf Man.

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

But how does a filmmaker like Whannell engage modern viewers with another werewolf movie, especially one centered on the Wolf Man? More broadly, as Whannell notes, how do any filmmakers revitalize these classic monsters, making them both terrifying and relatable in the present day?

Gather your torches, prepare your wolfsbane, sharpen your stakes—and hone your ability to decipher the metaphorical depths of monster narratives—because we interviewed Whannell about the impact of classic monster movies on his work, his approach to resurrecting beloved creatures like the Wolf Man in 2025, and why you should be excited!
