fox plans (another) werewolf series: at least it’s not vampires?

Variety announced this morning that Fox is developing a series called Howl, about (wait for it) warring families of werewolves in a small Alaskan town.

Says the pilot’s writer, “Alaska is a place where people disappear and now you know why.”

Of course, the writers hope the whole werewolf thing will serve as a nice allegory for social unrest, suburban dystopia, etc. etc. etc.

I am not and will never be a Twilight fan, and I think Stephenie Meyer is a disgrace to pop culture.

BUT I will say that I much prefer werewolves to vampires.  My favorite member of the Order of the Phoenix is Lupin (that’s a lie, it’s definitely Sirius Black, but I still love Lupin like whoa), my favorite Doctor Who series two episode is “Tooth and Claw” (or maybe it’s “The Satan Pit,” I don’t know), and I do enjoy seeing Taylor Lautner without a shirt on.

So if we have to do supernatural crap, I’d much prefer werewolves to vampires.  But I’d also prefer just about anything else to werewolves OR vampires.
