Small Town Monsters continues asking questions and delving into the legend of werewolves with their latest documentary, American Werewolves, out today. Seth Breedlove‘s newest project poses the question: do real werewolves exist? Breedlove presents a witness-focused study into the “dogman” phenomenon that pervades 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.
