Werewolves in the 'media'

In modern media, literature, drama, film and games werewolves are classed as an anti-hero. As I'm looking at films, I'm going to focus on the 'werewolf' in the film world and possibly how it's changed through literature adaptations.
A classic 'werewolf' film being 'The Wolf-Man' opened in 1941, has helped shape the great folkloric legend seen in 'Hollywood' blockbusters today.

In later films from this era, the 'wolf-man' later goes on to join other creature of darkness including, 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein', there cementing his place in horror history forever.

Lon Chaney, who created 'The Wolf-Man' also created the original 'Werewolf in London' 10 years earlier, this film was the first 'werewolf' films of it's kind. Why? Because it was the first film to feature the creature on 2 legs, with human characteristics. As well as creating 'The Wolf-Man' Lon Chaney's films had a great cult following at the time, with many people creating spin offs of the original.

The first 'modern horror genre' 'werewolf' films to arrive were the ever successful saga: 'The Howling', first released in 1981, with seven films in the saga the final instalment being released in 1995. The film was a literature adaptation of a book by Gary Brandner. With a mixed public reception the film is now a modern claasic of it's genre, with cult following of most 'werewolf' films.
