Long post! (Discussing Gothic Horror, Der Wolfsjäger, Werewolves, and why I love all of these things) I love Gothic horror, the aesthetic, of ruin, the haunting atmosphere, and the feeling that something old and dangerous and powerful lingers just outside of sight. The biggest aesthetic hallmark of Gothic horror is probably the lone decaying castle, this haunting vestige of the past intruding on our present day idea of normalcy and safety. But there's another aspect of Gothic horror that isn't as prominent that I have an affinity for.

I like the primal side of it. Statues inscribed with symbols no one can read anymore devoured by vines and fallen leaves. I like the beastly and barbaric side of that haunting feeling. That strange hereditary reminder of a time when forests were endless and dark with little refuge for man. Enter the werewolf. I am fascinated by the idea of people, even against their will, being returned to this savage state. I think most humans have an inherent discomfort with the idea that we are animals. We are fragile, we hunger, we are made of soft flesh that can be devoured.

Remembering that we are no more than animals somehow reminds us of a time we didn't exist in. That time when the forests were endless and we were few. It's frightening, it makes us feel small, it takes away our sense of control and safety. It shatters our delusions of power. But there's also something cathartic about completely immersing yourself in the things that make your afraid and uncomfortable. The Gothic werewolf is symbolic of this. The man living among us who has completely submitted to the brutal nature that still exists in all of us.

I say Gothic werewolf as a distinction from other kinds of more sympathetic, palatable, and less horror-centric werewolves. The Gothic werewolf is haunting. He's cunning and cruel. He does not see human life as special or valuable. He never stops being a wolf, even when in the form of a human.

I adore this. It's also one of the things that makes the Werewolves in my writing special. They don't see themselves as humans who become wolves, they see themselves as something completely different. They're characterized by their sickening disdain for civilization. In Matador Gothic when Alfonso asks Rampage to reveal his true fork he rebukes him, telling him that his wolf form *is* his true form. Mondheulers in Der Wolfsjäger wait patiently for the full moon, waiting to kill again, sometimes killing and maiming impulsively even as humans.

Blutschreibers in Der Wolfsjäger have to spend over a decade in the wild as wolves before they gain the ability to transform back into humans. This return to feral barbarism, and the allure of giving into it, is what gives them their flavor. The Blutschreibers are particularly unique, not only in the sense that they are haunted by spirits, but because underneath all of their barbarism and savagery there is a frightening level of intelligence and cunning that we as humans find frightening in something so animalistic.

We see barbarism as beneath our intellect. Something we left behind in the past for more intellectual and sophisticated virtues. Seeing something as intelligent as us, if not more, rip flesh and wield brutal strength is disturbing not only for its physical danger, but in the way it assaults our comforting worldview.

I'm excited for all the neglected and untapped potential for werewolf horror in audio roleplay. I'm writing Der Wolfsjäger with renewed enthusiasm now. Have fun! And remember, if you see a wolf in the wild, he always saw you first.

vampire vs. werewolf

vampire: vampires have been a staple in the horror genre long before any other movie monster. vampire films all have different sets of rules for their vampires, but they always keep one thing the same—they need blood to live.

examples: let the right one in, blade, midnight mass

werewolf: werewolves are an underutilized movie monster that have struggled to find many homes in the horror genre. unlike vampires, werewolves are not given the same horror status and are often poorly received by audiences. however, werewolves provide a lot of space to explore “otherness” and allow special effects artists to show off their talents during the transformation scene.

examples: an american werewolf in london, the wolfman, howl

Those Red Nights - WIP Intro.

Title: Those Red Nights

Genre: Crime thriller; neo-noir; mystery; urban fantasy; werewolf horror.

Status: Developing and plotting.

Themes: Hubris of over-confidence; having hope in an otherwise grim society; celestial motifs and imagery.

Warnings: This is a true crime- and werewolf horror-inspired story, so, of course, there will be murders, gore, etc. Also, some themes of misogyny and ableism.

Synopsis: Little Red Riding Hood meets The Silence of the Lambs meets Se7en... aka Jojo is bad at writing a good synopsis

Selene Radcliffe is a young, mute, freshly-graduated detective, having spent long hours and many sleepless nights researching, studying, and looking through cold case files in an effort to prove herself as skilled of a private investigator as her late father, the renowned and well-respected Det. Arthur Radcliffe. However, she is a woman in a predominately male profession, a woman without a voice--literally and figuratively--and she wants to make a name for herself without relying on whatever legacy her father left behind.

When the presence of a serial killer who the media has named “The Big Bad Wolf” on account of the strange, animalistic nature of his murders that occur on the nights of a full moon begin to plague the streets of Milwaukee, Selene sees this as her opportunity to prove herself and her skills to her peers, and she tasks herself and her partner Det. Apollo Esposito to hunt him down.

But it swiftly becomes apparent that the man they are hunting is no man, and may instead be a dreaded creature of folklore--one that is now keen on hunting them down in a blood-red game of cat and mouse...🌕🐺

---

so uhhhh dipping my toes into a thriller horror (and werewolf) story, something I’ve always wanted to write because uhhh The Silence of the Lambs is one of my all-time favorite movies!!!! But this whole project was deadass inspired by me making a werewolf OC based on Saul Goodman Bob Odenkirk after a friend and I wanted to make ocs based off of actors we liked in Breaking Bad lmao...now it’s its own thing, and I’m excited to work on it!!!
