Alice Cooper - Identity Crisis
From the soundtrack of the film “Monster Dog”.
Just thought that I would plug this book. If you have not read it then I HIGHLY recommend it. Especially if you want a good book to read during your time off for the holidays.
This is “The Sticks” written by Andy Deane, the lead singer of the Gothic/Industrial/Dark Wave band Bella Morte.
The plot concerns an average misfit of a guy who loses his girlfriend at a party and then finds out that she did not make it home. He comes to find out that his quiet Virginia town has become the hunting ground of a werewolf!
I don’t want to give too much away plot wise, but this book is awesome. The dialogue is very natural, the characters are believable to the point that you feel like you have met people like this before and it has some very tense and scary moments.
If you like horror stories, werewolf stories or just stories about ordinary people dealing with extraordinary situations I think you will like this. It is one of my all time favorite books!
The Irish werewolf is different from the Teutonic or European werewolf, as it is really not a “monster” at all. Unlike its continental cousins, this shapeshifter is the guardian and protector of children, wounded men and lost persons. According to some ancient sources, the Irish werewolves were even recruited by kings in time of war. Known in their native land as the faoladh or conroicht, their predatory behaviour is typical of the common wolf, not beneath the occasional nocturnal raid
i need stories about this one
There is also the Scottish cousin to the creature, the Wulver.

These creatures inhabit the Shetland islands and have no human form. He spends his days fishing and is not hostile to humans unless he is attacked. He even gives some of his catch to families in need.
Another round of poster, VHS, DVD and soundtrack artwork from some of my all time favorite werewolf films.
Legion Of The Damned ‘Sons Of The Jackal’
2007
My first Legion of the Dead album and probably my favorite.
“Project Metalbeast” VHS box art from the UK. It was released there simply as “Metalbeast”.
Part of a previous photo set but I thought that it was so cool it deserved its own post.
Awesome werewolf movie about a secret project to create werewolf shock troops. That project is combined with another designed to create a metal based skin and the resulting monster is impervious to harm. Especially to silver bullets.
Desperately needs a DVD release.
“Project Metalbeast” aka “Metalbeast”
Starring Kim Delaney, Barry Bostwick and Kane Hodder as the Metalbeast.
One of my all time favorite werewolf movies and a real gem that needs to be rediscovered. It has never been officially released on DVD in North America, though there are plenty of bootlegs made from VHS copies. A French release was made, but it has French only audio and is hard to obtain. Hopefully it will get picked up. I hope to bring some attention to this long neglected movie.
The film is starts with the Army sending two agents into the Carpathian Mountains of Hungary to obtain werewolf blood to create werewolf shock troops with. With the use of silver bullets and the loss of an agent, the blood is secured. The surviving agent, Butler, uses it on himself. He goes on a rampage and is shot with silver bullets. His body is frozen on the orders of Col. Miller.
Twenty years later, Miller is funding a project to create artificial, metal based skin. He give the research team Butler’s “corpse” as a test cadaver. During the operation, the silver bullets are discovered and removed, causing Butler to come out of hibernation and regenerate. Butler’s werewolf ability to regenerate not only allows him to survive the skin graft but also to grow it at an accelerated rate.
Now, a werewolf is on the loose. A werewolf with bulletproof skin, sharp spines on its back, and armor piercing claws and fangs! The ultimate killing machine! An out of control shock trooper with a lust for death and destruction!
