BTW, speaking of Halloween...
You know what movie didn't age well? This one.
Still, I guess it's easy to forget it was made a quarter century ago. That little note during the end credits congratulating Prince Charles and Diana Spencer on their "nuptials" (which I always thought was a funny word, cuz it sounds a little dirty) came as a bit of a shock.

I've never seen it. Actually, I think the only werewolf movies I've seen are The Howling, Wolf and Ginger Snaps.

Oh, and the Michael J. Fox one, Teen Wolf.

Okay, it's still probably better than all those. ;-)

Yeah, the special effects were state of the art for its day, but not any more and the movie itself is really dated.
Still, it is better than The Howling, Wolfen and Teen Wolf.

Michael J. Fox was just acting in Teen Wolf. He wasn't really a teenaged werewolf at all.
This is the Dem spokesperson -- a liar.
Just another example of now the Democrap Lie Machine and Liberal Media abuses Republicans.

Special effects get dated pretty quick. I liked the plot device of the dreamer waking from a nightmare, only to find himself in another nightmare. My favorite Werewolf movie is "The Company of Wolves". A visual treat with a subtext about awakening "animal" desires that raises it above the usual gorefest.

Teen Wolf...little known fact - Michael J Fox actually got that role because he is actually a Werewolf.
Then, of course, everyone said, "No, it was just great special effects, so folks could go on believing that there are no such things as Werewolves.
If only there weren't...and don't even get me started on the undead. I can't even count how many times I've WISHED they weren't real!

I saw American Werewolf In London on the big screen a couple of years and dated special effects aside, I gained a new appreciation for the movie as a black comedy. I didn't have the perspective for this when I saw it as a kid.
Ginger Snaps is a great, great movie.
