From ancient Mesopotamia to Twilight, the werewolf has evolved from cursed lovers and cannibals to tragic heroes and pop icons. In this Halloween deep dive, Zach and Dr. Julie Labau trace 4,000 years of transformation, from gods punishing desire to colonizers weaponizing myths. The werewolf isn’t just a monster, it’s a mirror reflecting what every generation fears losing control over: sex, sanity, and humanity itself.
