Small Town Monsters Delves Into 'American Werewolves' In New Documentary

Small Town Monsters Delves Into ‘American Werewolves’ In New Documentary

Small Town Monsters continues asking questions and delving into the legend of werewolves with their latest documentary, American Werewolves. Seth Breedlove‘s newest project poses the question: do real werewolves exist? Breedlove presents a witness-focused study into the “dogman” phenomenon that pervades through American folklore. Thousands of people go missing in the United States each year, and American Werewolves and Seth Breedlove allow witnesses and a few brave investigators to present their theory that perhaps real werewolves are behind some of these disturbing disappearances. American Werewolves aims to explore this oft-overlooked aspect of American folklore. However, where previous Small Town Monsters productions delved into the similar subject matter by presenting the details of the phenomena through a panel of experts, authors, folklorists, and investigators, American Werewolves leaves the storytelling to the witnesses. Comprised of around a dozen witness accounts, the film takes on the strange topic by giving those who have experienced it the space to directly present their encounters to
