I'm a fan of noir movies. When younger I watched (by myself) a 1942 movie titled Cat People. The movie, though in black and white, generated such a spell binding atmosphere I was absolutely hooked when I first saw it. The "monster" here is a young woman who transforms into a black panther. The entire scenario was attractive to me, and still is. The actress who played the part and underwent the unheard-of metamorphosis was Simone Simon.

Who is your favorite monster, whether human or not, and why?

Love the 80s remake and always meant to watch this one. I'll have to go hunt it down. Thanks for reminding me.

Not too many serious books with werewolves in them that I can think of besides Cycle of the Werewolf

Hmm, you're right there. I don't have many truly "great" werewolf novels in my collection. If you want an entertaining pulp story though, read Robert R McCammon's The Wolf's Hour. Really fun, and yet another reason why I'm annoyed that Hollywood hasn't knocked on his door as yet.

Outside of previously mentioned werewolves I’m also a fan of classic Japanese monsters, I like Nekomatas and the Kuchisake-Onna (Slit-mouthed woman) especially.
