Wolf Skin

Wolf Skin is a cursed object featured in the sixtieth Goosebumps book, Werewolf Skin and its television adaptation.

Origins
The town of Wolf Creek has had a long history when it comes to werewolves. In recent years, the town has become fearful of werewolves that terrorize the town every night. Two of the werewolves being Colin and Marta Hunter. For years they have been cursed into wearing a pair of wolf-like capes which turns them into powerful werewolves. To hide their identity from the other townspeople, they sneak into the abandoned home of the Marling family next door and put on the capes. Every night they enter the forest and go on a rampage, usually tearing apart animals.

When Alex Hunter arrives to spend Halloween with Uncle Colin and Aunt Marta, he asks about if the town really does have werewolves, as he intends to take pictures of them. Colin and Marta laugh it off. When they arrive at their home, Colin and Marta warn Alex to stay away from the Marling house, but his curiosity gets the better of him. The other neighbor, a girl named Hannah Stoneman, also tries to warn Alex about the werewolves. After some close calls, Alex eventually learns the truth as he sees Colin and Marta take off the capes. In hopes of freeing his aunt and uncle, Alex and Hannah sneak into the Marling house on Halloween with the intent on destroying the capes, when Colin and Marta show up. They try to get the capes back, but the full moon comes out, which breaks them from the spell caused by the capes.

However, Alex soon discovers there was a third skin. Hannah reveals that it belongs to her before she turns into a werewolf and tears into him.

Powers
The wolf skin gives the wearer all of the powers of a werewolf, which includes increased speed, senses and strength. However, the wearer also becomes addicted to the power and is unable to stop wearing it every night.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The capes are mostly indestructible, meaning that barely anything can truly defeat them. The only thing that can defeat them is if the wearer is unable to put the skin on before a full moon.

Wearers
Only three people have been known to wear the skins.


 * Colin Hunter/Blackwell
 * Marta Blackwell
 * Hannah Stoneman
