The title of the show is very misleading and I will be the first one to point that out. “Teen Wolf” does not sound like it could be something enjoyable for anyone else but a tween girl obsessed with the mainstream appeal of the supernatural. Sure, the show has all the ingredients of a potentially bad plot: attractive actors/actresses playing characters in distress, overly dramatic music and werewolves. Majority of the world has deemed werewolves no longer as something feared but cool. Thus, many do not stop and try to give Teen Wolf a viewing it deserves. Honestly, I find the show to be extremely entertaining. The past 3 seasons had incredible story lines and some unforgettable characters, Personally, I especially enjoy and appreciate how much effort the writers put in the backstory of the monsters that the viewers come to know over the course of the show.

There is always great attention and inspiration taken from various mythology backgrounds as well as history itself. One of my favorite monsters created on the show was a nogitsune – a dark fox spirit who feeds on pain and chaos. It was originally called upon by a fox (another supernatural creature) in order to seek revenge on the soldiers at an internment camp for the japanese during World War II. After possessing a body of a person the spirit became uncontrollable, killing everything in sight and was soon stopped. In the present day, due to certain events the spirit was accidentally unleashed yet again and it took over one of the main characters, Stiles Stilinski. Throughout the season we see an internal fight within his best friend Scott Macall as to whether or not the consciousness of Stiles is still present in his body to be potentially saved or is he forever lost under possession and would have to be killed. What would you do if you’re best friend was suddenly committing mass murders, sending out freakish mass hallucinations and indulging from emotional vampirism? I would certainly be lost in action.
