Werewolf: The Complete Series

Anyone ever watch this? I have never heard of it but think I'll be getting this when it comes out. Good old Rick Baker did the werewolf costume.

MovieTyme - Werewolf: The Complete Series DVD - TV Shows

Quote:
The 'Werewolf' TV series represented an early foray into original programming for the newly launched FOX network. This imaginative series told the story of college student Eric Cord (John J. York) and his efforts to end the werewolf's curse that now haunts him by killing the source of the bloodline, Janos Skorzeny (Chuck Connors).

Similar to The Fugitive and The Incredible Hulk TV shows, Eric is constantly on the run while being pursued by the bounty hunter Alamo Joe Rogan (Lance LeGault), who knows that Eric is a werewolf. This series also featured fantastic gory effects and a werewolf costume designed by the legendary Rick Baker, who also did the same for An American Werewolf in London.

But the werewolves in this half-hour episodic series were large bipedal creatures with long arms that could be used for running on all fours as well as two. This show also strayed from accepted lore by having Eric's transformations occur mostly at random, with the only forewarning coming in the form of a pentagram scar on his hand that would start to bleed. While this series offers a healthy dose of 80s fashion and music, the timeless quality of of the scripts keep it from looking too dated.

Chuck Conners made me want Tin Can Alley.

Re: Werewolf: The Complete Series

It was shown by Sky One in the early 90's.

However ., the release of the show has been cancelled completely due to music rights and the offending tunes were part of the original soundtrack and were not part of a separate music and effects track so replacement of the tracks was not possible - so the entire release was shelved

Re: Werewolf: The Complete Series

Was supposed to be released in Sept but as you have linked was cancelled, which I knew about. But Movietyme have now listed it as Oct and Amazon have it as a Blu-ray release but no date

I posted info on this as soon as I saw it listed on MT..... looks like they have got my hopes up

Re: Werewolf: The Complete Series

This actually looks pretty good, if a bit tacky in places. Also the lawman seemed awfully calm at the site of a monster tearing his truck apart, and that's the first werewolf I've seen that hasn't attacked on sight. Is that a werewolf with a conscience? Even the AWIL was about to sink his fangs into his nursey girlfriend before the armed rozzas took him down.

I'd like to see more of this. Hopefully, one day it'll become available.

Re: Werewolf: The Complete Series

One of my favourite series - got it on bootleg (about 3 different versions of it!!) but this official release got my hopes up until it got cancelled.

Movietyme list it as 'just arrived' on DVD though??
