Re: Help me get a sense of perspective on this

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I'll chime in, original fiction werewolf writer here. I'll admit before I really started delving into my research for my novel/series, I didn't know anything about Talbot the Wolfman outside of the three second thing for the Universal movie collection in front of the Mummy movies and that honestly, was about it. I mean, I knew he existed because of Bruce Coville's Monster of the Year Book (a must read for monster lovers.) But it wasn't until I started going "how do I make my werewolves different" and delving more into werewolf lore that I found out more about the actual character.

I eventually watched the remake of the movie. Love Van Hellsing (also part of Universal's stuff) and there are several other Univeral made werewolf movies I've enjoyed. (Universal seems to have most the rights.)

The thing I found about werewolves is that they aren't as culturally popular and focused as vampires! There are too many diverse iterations of how they exist, what their curse/disease is like and how it all goes terribly wrong. (You've got werewolves, lycanthropes, the loup garou and dogmen at the least in folk lore.) Nothing really gelled together like Dracula did for vampires to push them into public consciousness.

So, even if you are into monster stuff, I wouldn't expect them to know about the character of that particular werewolf movie, or the movie that actually came before it from Universal that was a science gone wrong werewolf movie. The lore and the media is just too scattered for that.
