I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF 1957 (MYSTICAL POPCORN)

I finally managed to obtain a great looking DVD of one of my favorite films.

I have written about this movie before, but since it has been a while, I figured I'd do it again.

I am sure you all know the plot anyway. Michael Landon stars as Tony Rivers, a young man with a violent temper and who is always on the verge of snapping.

One night at a party he goes too far by beating up a friend and he is sent to see Dr. Brandon (Whit Bissell). Thie doctor is conducting experiments and one of them, which he hides from everyone, is regression of people to their primative beginnings.

His experiments make Tony change into a werewolf that begins a series of killings in the small town. This is an all time classic film from American International Pictures and one that made a huge impression on me when I first saw it as a very young lad.

It was the most sucessful film AIP had during the 50's and that is siimply because it's a great movie. If you get a chance, check it out, and if you've already seen this gem, maybe you should watch it again.

The rest of the cast includes Yvonne Lime, Barney Phillips, Guy Williams, Robert Griffin, Malcolm Atterbury, Louise Lewis, Ken Miller and Vladimir Sokoloff.
