Not werewolf THE apocalypse.
I'm thinking about a werewolf apocalypse the way one would have a robot apocalypse or a zombie apocalypse or a vampire apocalypse.
I haven't decided anything else about it yet. Oh wait. I have decided that it should be absolutely insane, like people should not be able to trust their own perceptions or conclusions or something, partially because I want them to be "lunatics" and thus keep with the theme, partially because I can't think of any other way people would not address the werewolf problem during the day, partially because I really liked how the threat of insanity played out in movies like Pandorum or The Signal and in RPGs like Living Steel, and partially because the prototype for the werewolf seems to be the ancient Greek goddess Lyssa, who was a goddess of madness and wore a wolf's head on her head.
I can't think of any movies that address the concept of werewolf apocalypse, but I'm thinking that there has to be at least one novel or short story or something. I can't be the first person who's ever thought of this.
When I say I haven't decided anything else about it, I really mean, I haven't decided anything. Will it be a RPG? Will it be a novel or short story? Will it be a script? Will it be our current society falling to a werewolf apocalypse (maybe something about how we can save the lives of people that would have otherwise died, so this time there is an outbreak of werewolfism, it spreads because we can save the victims of werewolf attacks, and thus... the apocalypse)? Will it be some fantasy world or anachronistic apocalypse (In ancient Atlantis, Lyssa infects Zeus and Posidon with her madness, thus allowing her rabid "followers" to spread unchecked, which is the real reason behind the downfall of that great civilization)? Will it be some futuristic or cyberpunk apocalypse (nanites meant to treat rabies in dogs malfunction and cross into human species causing insanity and intermittent changes in canine forms)?
I just really think this needs to be some sort of intellectual property somewhere, and I'm kind of hoping that I'm not the first one to try it, but don't stress if you guys can't come up with an example of werewolf apocalypse. Even if this is the first, I'll see if I can produce something.
