What's your WEREWOLF NAME?
August 27th 2007 23:41
OOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! It’s the full moon tonight!! And it’s a lunar eclipse as well!! Yiiiiiiiikes, all the freaks and lunatics will be out tonight! You’d better run, run, run, run …. Run like Hell!!! Cos I’m comin’ … comin’ … comin’ to getcha!!!!
Tis a pity I don’t live up in the Blue Mountains, cos that’s where you get to see the full effect of the blood red moon! Here in Sydney city the ever increasing “light pollution” dampens the effect, and the ghostly shadow across the surface of the moon is lost to earthly city eyes.
Still, from between 7.52pm and 9.23pm (AEST) tonight the entire moon could turn anything from a yellowish brown (the colour of wolf eyes) to blood red. Yes, blood red, but only if there is enough dust from volcanic activity in the earth's atmosphere.
The eclipse, visible to the naked eye anywhere in Australia, will begin at sunset when the earth, the sun and the moon fall into perfect alignment. The moon's surface will darken as the earth's shadow creeps across it to create a partial eclipse from just before 7pm (AEST), with the total eclipse visible one hour later.
So in fitting with tonight’s full moon lunar eclipse I’ve found a werewolf name generator, so that you and all your lunar lovin’ lupine friends can stand around on the balcony calling each other by your howlin’, hirsute new tag.
At a website called Rum and Monkey (yes, I’m partial to a tasty Cuba Libre and I was born in the Chinese Year of the Monkey) there’s a Werewolf Name Generator
“You have received the bite of a wolf, and been transformed. Chased away by your horrified family and friends, you are forced to begin a new life as an outcast ... You must assume a new name if you are to survive.”
I entered my name and let the full moon do its magic …
“Come bask in the light of the full moon, Argharna Lowell.”
That’s Loooooowwwwwwwell to you! Grrrrrrr!
And my five favourite lycanthrope movies are …
1. An American Werewolf in London (1981)
2. The Howling (1981)
3. Ginger Snaps (2000)
4. Dog Soldiers (2002)
5. Wolfen (1981)
Although Wolfen is not strictly a lycanthrope movie, more an American Indian "skinwalker"-inspired pack of superwolves, it’s still more atmospheric and creepier than most of the canine crap being tossed our way these days. For example Wes Craven’s Cursed could’ve been soooo much better.
Actually I’m hangin’, pantin’ and droolin’ to see Skinwalkers (which screened at Cannes May last year and finally got a US release this month, expect it on Australian DVD shelves before the end of the year, perhaps) and Jack and Diane (only in pre-production, due for a 2008 release).
And then there’s the “werewolf” flick I’m gonna be writing with JohnDoe (licks lips) ... oops, let the cub outta the bag there!

This is getting quite incestuous and bizarre, it seems we share the same Family name, too?
*raising eyebrow*
I'll be prowling around tonight as Kamalia Lowell
My freinds call me Delicia. *giggle*

I swear I don't know Lilith. But I wouldn't put it past any chick to bite my neck. They've done it before. What is that fetish? Foreplay or practice?

That sounds familiar
On footnote (paw note?) I saw Dog Soldiers and enjoyed it al lot. Rough ready and well paced.
Wolfen was a well scripted film and that helped more than anything to build the tension.

In the words of one who knows:
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Oooowwwwoohhhh to you all

It seems, as I suspected, we are all in-bred ... or a degree or two from a hairy nephew or a prickly sister ...
I have some of the finest flesh marinating in the juices of aristocracy ... may we dine with our snouts full of the carnal wine and bay longingly at her full lunar belly; the moon.

A lot of lycanthropes are inbred, since many in European legend/history attacked their own families.
Bryn, you missed "I was a teenage werewolf" starring the very young Michael Landon...

If I must hunt, at least let me hunt criminals.
Bryn, because of your hearty recommendation for American Werewolf, I just bought it off Amazon - expecting it in a week!

Ion Rendell sounds more like a crime writer than a fabulously fanged monster in a hirsute jumpsuit...but I still like it...
yes, seven blogs....no one told me they were separate and that you can have them all listed under sub-categories on the one blog...so now I do not know how to rectify this, even after trying advice...couldn't make the sub-category list..and yes...too much time on my hands indeed...time to fang a sandwich...
cheers and deep vein penetrations

If you see that "I was a teenage werewolf" movie, Bryn, make sure you see the Mystery Science Theatre version--
You'll be laughing so hard, you might cough up a victim...
