Stories of werewolves have existed for thousands of years and continue to live on today. They're especially prominent in European literature and folklore, and often found in cultures where the wolf is the largest natural predator. Over the years its image has continuously evolved, often reflecting the fears and prejudices of that time. Craig Thomson traces the history of werewolves. \[Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio\].
