It all begins with a howl, the unsettling sound which tells
audiences that someone will soon become a werewolf. But the changes
that occur during that transformation aren't just physical, they
are psychological as well. Unremarkable men become domineering
leaders. Innocuous men become violent and overtly sexual. In films
from The Wolf-man and An American Werewolf in London to Ginger
Snaps, when the protagonists become werewolves, their perceptions
of their gender and their masculinity or femininity change
dramatically. This volume explores how werewolves in cinema have
provided an avenue for frank and often enlightening conversations
about gender roles and masculinity. Werewolves are indeed a
harbinger of change, but the genre of werewolf cinema itself has
changed over time in how different styles of masculinity and
different gender identities are portrayed.
