Werewolf Winter: Ginger Snaps (2000)

So Winter has officially ended and Spring is here, but the werewolf movies continue. After all, I still have to get through the 2000s! Which brings us to the first and most famous werewolf movie of the 2000-era: Ginger Snaps.

Werewolf Winter: The Wolves of Kromer (1998)

So far we have seen werewolves as symbolic of human aggression, female sexuality, and teenagers going through puberty. And now, with The Wolves of Kromer, we now have a film where wolves are symbolic of gay men in the 1990s.

Very subtle symbolism...

Werewolf Winter: Wolf (1994)

Jack Nicholson is one of those actors who is excellent at playing himself. When he was The Joker in Batman, he played Jack Nicholson in clown make-up. When he was a mental patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, he was Jack Nicholson in a beanie and five o'clock shadow. And in Wolf, Jack Nicholson plays Jack Nicholson as a werewolf.
