To this day, Ginger Snaps remains one of the greatest werewolf movies of all time. The idea to pair turning into a lycanthrope with puberty was a stroke of genius. But it’s really the Fitzgerald sisters that make the film so damn memorable. An entire generation of outcasts connected with their plight, and they became horror icons. Yet, strangely enough, the film came out to very little fanfare when first released. Thankfully, after several years, HBO picked up the rights, and it became a cult classic.
To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary (and 4K release), I spoke with Katharine Isabelle, Emily Perkins, and director John Fawcett about the movie. They get into how much fun it was to film the staged deaths, and how it was one of their favorite aspects of production. John discusses the remastering process and the love and care put into this new release. Given how little Emily and Katharine have done interviews for the film, this was a real treat. You can check it all out in the video above!
Ginger Snaps plot:
Ginger Snaps is the story of death-fixated teenage sisters Ginger and Brigitte, who are attacked one night by a creature drawn to Ginger’s first menstrual period. Bitten by the creature, Ginger soon exhibits sudden aggression and bizarre transformations that convince Brigitte her sister is turning into a werewolf…and that Ginger’s embrace of her liberating new condition may be terminal.
