The New Moon Howler: Worst Werewolf Ever?

Does Taylor Lautner's dog form measure up to the classic lycanthropes of yore?

So, the New Moon trailer premiere happened.

And, while Taylor Lautner's shirtless form was an undeniable feast for the eyes, we're not so hungry like a wolf for Jacob in lycanthrope mode.

Sure, shape shifting is scary in any form, but, well, really?

In annals of cinematic werewolf he can't touch Lon Chaney Jr.'s original The Wolf Man or the killer canines of The Howling or An American Werewolf in London.

Heck, this New Moon dog even looks like a mere pup next to Michael Jackson's Thriller monster and—dare we say it—Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf.

Now what say you?
