Of all the creatures found in Halloween lore, none are more mysterious than the fabled werewolf. Only emerging on a full moon night, their howl can send shivers down your spine and get you racing to hide under the covers. But, if you're like us, and you like a bit of a spine tingler or the good fantasy horror movie, then be sure to pick one of these werewolf flicks for your next Halloween movie night or party. You'll find every genre on this list from movies for the whole family (100% Wolf and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), gory cover-your-eyes-till-it's-over monster types (Silver Bullet and The Howling), to new hilarious comedies (Wolf Cop and Werewolves Within). Whether you make your guests wear their favorite Halloween costumes, all are required to bring their favorite Halloween treats to this movie marathon along with their silver bullet.

If you can't seem to get enough of a werewolf fix from these movies, be sure to check out our list of the best werewolf books. I can guaranteed there will be a Twilight book in there, but many other great reads you can sink your teeth into!
