The werewolf sub-genre has gotten a lot of love lately. Between last year's Werewolves and this year's Wolf Man remake from Universal, horror fans have had a handful of new nightmares to howl over.

As the 1980s introduced new horror icons like Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Brundlefly, the werewolf continued to slash its way across the silver screen, thanks largely to Universal Pictures.
