“Wolfman” Sure To Be a Big, Hairy Hit
Opening in movie theaters across the country on February 12, 2010, “Wolfman” is a classic werewolf story that brings back the centuries-old legend of a man who transforms into a wolf-like beast. Based in Great Britain in the late 1800s, this Victorian-era film by Universal Studios brings back the real-life hysteria among people who actually believed that werewolves, vampires and other supernatural beasts were stalking the darkness as agents of the Devil. It’s not a new story, but actor Benicio Del Torro brings a new flavor to the age old lycanthrope tale has been told in literature and even in the 1941 movie “Wolfman”.
Lycanthropy is the supernatural metamorphosis of a human being into a blood-thirsty, rampaging werewolf. The term is derived from a Greek world meaning “wolf man”. The lore of werewolves has been recorded for thousands of years in many different cultures. First written about by Plato, the hellish description of a cursed man turning into a wolf man and eating victims is quite disturbing – and makes for great scary costumes! Those that seriously study werewolves and wolfmen suggest that the change occurs by cellular psychokinesis caused by an extremely strong telepathic rapport between the man and the wolf. Some legends suggest that the person deliberately wills himself into the wolf form.
If you would like to dress in a wolfman costume in honor of the latest adaptation of this monstrous myth, there are several werewolf costumes to choose from. A simple Wolfman costume mask can be worn with a full body costume that includes pants and a hairy foam chest that looks like you’ve undergone the complete transformation. Special effects makeup kits are available to help you with your beastly façade. For a traditional Wolfman look, pair your werewolf or wolfman costume mask with a pair of old jeans and rugged flannel shirt that looks like it has been shredded by claws. Furry werewolf gloves and a pair of fangs paired with some faux blood will create a totally terrifying look.
