Wolf Gnards

It appears Teen Wolf has raised more questions than simply can a werewolf can dunk (which… duh… we’ve all seen the movie, yes, werewolves dunk), namely would you rather get with Scott or the Wolf. Are you a Boof? Or are you a Pamela? Do you like the safe, comfortable much walked path? Or something dark… and furry. This is the age old debate of the the nice guy or the bad boy, and a werewolf is just a very bad boy. It the realm of monster love the werewolf is one of the worst. In terms of acceptable monster dating it goes vampire, Frankenstein monster, zombie or mummy, werewolf, and Creature from the Black Lagoon (fish breath).

What makes the a werewolf such a bad cub? The problem doesn’t have to do with a degree of evil, but the outwardly appearance of evil. The big teeth, claws, hair, eyes, nose, are all designed to terrify. Even if a vampire isn’t handsome or seductive, they’re designed to hide and to resemble a human, so that they can strike when you least expect it. A werewolf is just a vicious head on assault. A night with a vampire is almost hypnotic, even relaxing. Whereas a werewolf is violet act no matter which way you slice it.

There’s bad and then there’s creature of the night. The lure of the bad boy isn’t that he’s bad, it’s that he’s attractive and he’s bad. And the fact that he’s bad presents an opportunity for change. Either a) you can change him through your love or b) he loves you enough to resist his natural evil impulses. So, when the sparkly teen vampire doesn’t suck your blood, you can say, “Wow, you must really care about me with me all not being dead and all.” The werewolf on the hand is ugly, so who cares about his personality anyway. Surprisingly what you’re really after is Mick McAllister… good on the outside, bad on the in, and for some reason a 21-year-old still in high school.

To be into the wolf, you’re not just looking for bad, but an experience. Something to tell your grandchildren (if you’re the kind of granny who tells their grandchildren they had sex with werewolf). The crowd wasn’t cheering “wolf, wolf, wolf” at the prom because they loved that wild and crazy wolf, but because they wanted to see something truly disturbing. Sex with a werewolf is the horror movie equivalent of a Tijuana donkey show.

So, what does it for you? Nice guy Scott (and remember Scott only has eyes for a typical bimbo)? Or the Wolf?

Teen Wolf Poll: Scott or the Wolf

So, far we’ve had a write in vote for Scott Wolf, Harvey Keitel’s wolf, and a Scott Howard/Werewolf double team (which is only possible on a cloudy night).
