she technically got a “visual update” back during burning tides, but if her recent statue announcement has told me anything it’s that riot places a much higher value on her as a generic sexy lady to market to horny men than they do as an interesting nuanced character they’ve put a lot of work into 💀

i got third place but let it be known that 1 i had first for a solid half hour until the final betting round fucked me over and 2 i got to correct the trivia master for getting a werewolf question wrong which means i actually did better than first place in my heart

come back with a warrant fr

not only still touring, but still writing, even! one of the records i picked up from them at the show is only going to be a year old tomorrow! you'd think eventually they'd run out of material given that the movie's only like 90 minutes long

yeah i think slack's down from there too. oh well

at least ol' larry talbot did get to appear in an alvin and the chipmunks film as literally just himself i guess

how's that for a miserable wet cat, or, uh, dog of a main character? it almost makes you feel bad that the wolf man is the only original universal horror monster who never got a sequel all to himself, even though universal has tried to reboot him three separate times now...

-silver is the only way to kill a werewolf (the wolf man, house of frankenstein)

-werewolves only transform at night (the wolf man)

-werewolves only transform during the full moon (frankenstein meets the wolf man)

-wolfsbane/aconite can inhibit the transformation (frankenstein meets the wolf man)

the wolf man (1941) and his subsequent character appearances throughout the 40s run of universal horror film, lawrence talbot is where we get a large swath of werewolf cinematic dogma (lol) that people still measure werewolf flicks by today:

henry hull starred as the titular london werewolf with makeup by kickass artist/designer jack pierce, who you may know better for . other fellows........

still has random weird 30s racism though! but this time it was tibetan racism instead of the romani racism that would plague most of the films of his more hirsute cousin the wolf man

since it was the first mainstream werewolf flick there weren't any established cinematic werewolf lore for them to go by and if you watch it it really shows. a werewolf film with no moonlight-powered transformations, no silver, no pentagrams, hey tony gimme a pizza with NOTHIN
