Supernatural horror is having a moment right now, particularly when it comes to classic monsters like bloodsuckers and beasts. Over the last year or so, we’ve seen the release of Abigail, Werewolves, Nosferatu to name just a few, and in just a couple of days’ time, Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man will be unleashed, too.

In the run-up to the film clawing its way into cinemas, GamesRadar+ asked Whannell why he thinks Hollywood is suddenly loving monsters again. “It’s interesting because these trends, they happen so organically, you’re never quite sure why. It’s just something in the zeitgeist that seems to claw it into existence,” he replies.
