## Examines the cultural significance of the werewolf film * Provides the first academic monograph dedicated to developing a cultural understanding of the werewolf film * Reconsiders the psychoanalytic paradigms that have dominated scholarly discussion of werewolves in pop culture * Includes over 40 individual case studies to illustrate how werewolf films can be understood as products of their cultural moment * Identifies the cinematic werewolf’s most common metaphorical dimensions Horror monsters such as the vampire, the zombie and Frankenstein’s creature have long been the subjects of in-depth cultural studies, but the cinematic werewolf has often been considered little more than the ‘beast within’: a psychoanalytic analogue for the bestial side of man. This book, the first comprehensive history of the werewolf in cinema, redresses the balance by exploring over 100 years of werewolf films, from __The Werewolf__ (1913) to __Wildling__ (2018) via __The Wolf Man__ (1941), __The Curse of the Werewolf__ (1961), __The Howling__ (1981) and __WolfCop__ (2014). Revealing the significance of she-wolves and wolf-men as evolving metaphors for the cultural fears and anxieties of their times,
