A CLOSER
LOOK AT
CRY WOLF
Vampiric folklore, tales of lycanthropy and stories about Voodoo and
the mindless zombies that are spawned from such a practice all have
a basis in reality. The vampire seduces the unsuspecting mortal and
feeds on his lifeblood. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that
the vampire character represents those unscrupulous individuals whose
only purpose in life (or death) is to sap the life force from anyone
who is creative or successful.
Unlike the vampire, a werewolf does not engage in seduction to lure
prey, but instead destroys its victims by shear, brute force. Consider
the overpowering person who will stop at nothing to gain the upper
hand in both business and personal affairs.
The zombie on the other hand, is neither overbearing nor seductive
and has no interest in personal gain. Instead, a zombie, in the traditional
sense, is without a will and is made to do the bidding of --the
man behind the curtain. Oddly enough, the zombie represents
most of humanity.
So, how does "CRY WOLF" differ from traditional folklore?
Simply put, there is certain spirituality in the storyline that separates
it from most tales in the genre.
It is the unique, supernatural theme that is the driving force of the
series. Unlike customary stories about men who change into werewolves
by the light of a full moon, the protagonist, KURT ANGELO, changes
into a gigantic wolf whenever danger approaches.. His transformation
is spurred into action by the smiley-faced presence of SIJAN'S
ghost, who demands that justice be served.
However, not everyone is able to handle such a burdensome role as Kurt's.
Still, because of the natural law and order of the universe, Kurt cannot
change his own fate without some type of divine intervention. As a
result, Sijan's influence with the "ASCENDED MASTERS" enables
Kurt to shed his god-like persona for a more manageable
life as an ordinary wolf.
