In the remake of the 1941 classic, Del Toro plays a world-renowned Shakespearean actor who turns into a werewolf via an Academy Award-winning transformation. Supernatural trumps sonnets in our book.
While there are certainly some equally awesome (and hot) wolves on the MTV series, Derek Hale's Alpha broodiness and biceps put him a push-up above the rest. We repeat: Hello arms!
It's a full-on war between vampires and their lycan foes in the Kate Beckinsale-led action flick, a battle especially conflicting for Lucian, who falls in love with bloodsucker (and mortal enemy) Sonja.
The Boy Who Lived finds a friend in Remus Lupin (aka "Moony"), a member of the Order of the Phoenix who also happens to be a werewolf. And a mean one at that if he doesn't have his Wolfsbane Potion.
Now this is what a werewolf is supposed to look like. Which makes us giddier than one of those fairies when Alcide Herveaux transitions from wolf into butt naked man. Lucky gal, that Sookie.
He may be the villainous Velkan, but Kate Beckinsale's bad-boy onscreen brother sure was one handsome wolfman. So you'll forgive us for getting a bit misty-eyed when he died at the hands of Hugh Jackman's Helsing.
He's in an awesome band called Dingoes Ate My Baby. He's got an awesome witch girlfriend, Willow (Alyson Hannigan). Oh, and he's a werewolf who locks himself in a cage during full moons so he doesn't kill anyone.
It ain't easy being a werewolf in love. Just take Vivian, a teenage wolfgirl caught between choosing the wolfman she's promised to (Martinez's Gabriel)—or a human! Meanwhile, we get to enjoy not one but two hot werewolves.
Puberty is an awkward topic to explain at times. And you'd surely get extra tongue-tied when that oh-so-exciting adolescent stage is accompanied by another transformation: Into a werewolf, like Ginger here discovers.
She really turned some heads (and surely caused some drooling) as Stirba, the Queen of the Werewolves, and it had nothing to do with any were-fangs. A mix of tight costumes and in-your-face cleavage was her most lethal weapon.
Fun fact: Our favorite True Blood fang-banger played on the opposing team in this spooky, sexy Halloween movie, where she loses her virginity...well, her werewolf virginity, by killing her high school principal.
A critical bomb but cult hit for Wes Craven, this L.A.-centric flicks finds Greer as Joanie, a spiteful ex (and werewolf, of course) who kills all of the women who date the wolfman who broke her heart (Jackson's Jake).
Some werewolves are bitten. Some are just cursed to a life of howling at the moon after killing their wife and having a gypsy spell put on them, like Quentin Collins, who terrorized the town of Collinsport during full moons.
Becoming a wolf isn't always a bad thing—sometimes it turns you into an awesome basketball player. Just ask high schooler Scott Howard, who also inspired a wolf-tastic prodigy (shout out Jason Bateman in Teen Wolf Too!)
