“Werewolf” (it’s on Youtube). There was a series back in the '80s about werewolves, I think Chuck Connors (The Rifleman) played an older wolfman who had been around since the Ice Age preying on humans. Another more recent one just a few years ago on Scifi?

The list of good werewolf movies is very short but I have watched all werewolf movies and can suggest some stuff you may not know of. I’ll assume you’ve watched An American Werewolf in London and The Howling already. In release order:

  1. Werewolf of London (1935) - This movie is absolutely fantastic for 1935 and will surprise you. It lays a ton of the groundwork for adding weird sci-fi to werewolf stories. Also, please don’t watch the god awful Wolf Man with Lon Chaney, that movie is trash and gets way too much attention

  2. The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) - This is the best werewolf movie, IMO. An early Hammer movie ahead of the times with a really shocking premise of a story for any time period and showcases the amazing Oliver Reed in one of his first starring roles

  3. The Beast Within (1982) - Clearly inspired by Curse of the Werewolf, this movie has a twist for the monster you are not expecting and I’d recommend not looking up anything about it before watching

  4. Silver Bullet (1985) - I would think Stephen King’s werewolf movie was well-known but I mention this all the time and folks don’t know what I’m talking about. This one plays into the urban folklore of werewolves pretty great. I would recommend this to anybody that loves Stranger Things

  5. The Fly (1986) - While not a “werewolf” story, David Cronenberg makes the film he was born to make. His version of a man’s struggle with becoming a monster. This film is fantastic and you will never see Jeff Goldblum the same way after watching

  6. The Cursed (2022) - Wow this movie is great. It’s very atmospheric with some stellar camera work you just aren’t expecting in a werewolf movie. The tension that builds as you learn the local folklore of the werewolves in question draws you in with similar themes used in previous films but under another layer of spookiness

I would say “good,” but Red with Felicia day is a good watch if you like her

Loved that one as a kid.
Always cracked up when they goaded that one werewolf out with the catty insults, and it flips them off.

106

Hehe yeah. But again I get why some folks don’t like that vibe with werewolves. I know the CG transformations in that are a bit. Bad. But I like the actual suits. They’re neat.

107

These along with teen wolf were what made an impressionable child really like werewolves well into adulthood, and made him swap to alliance and roll one of each class.

108

In addition to some great ones already mentioned, I add:
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

All three classic monsters (Frankenstein’s, Dracula, and the Wolfman) are present, and it established the trope for vampires vs werewolves.

Bad Moon is good too! Along with The Howling, Silver Bullet, American Werewolf in London, and Ginger Snaps. Dog Soldiers is my top for now tho.
I just checked out the trailer for Werewolves and it looks pretty good, 100% checking that one out when it’s out. Thanks!
