Monster Revival Mission: Hollywood Directs Spotlight on Gothic Icons

Feb 11,25(2 months ago)

Dracula. Frankenstein's monster. The Invisible Man. The Mummy.

And, of course, the Wolf Man.

These iconic monsters have evolved and adapted over time, defying singular interpretations while continuing to terrify audiences across generations. Recently, we've seen a new Dracula (in Nosferatu form) from Robert Eggers, Guillermo del Toro is crafting a modern Frankenstein, and now writer-director Leigh Whannell offers his interpretation of the Wolf Man.

But how does a filmmaker like Whannell capture modern audiences' attention with yet another werewolf film, specifically one centered on the Wolf Man? More broadly, how do any filmmakers, as Whannell notes, make these classic monsters frightening and relatable in the present day?

Gather your torches, prepare your wolfsbane, sharpen your stakes—and hone your ability to decipher the metaphorical depths of monster stories—because we interviewed Whannell about the impact of classic monster movies on his work, his approach to revitalizing beloved creatures like the Wolf Man in 2025, and why you should be excited!
