	Scifilm -- Reviews, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF (1957)
		Make-Up: While not as effective as the werewolf make-up used in THE WOLF MAN (1941) or THE WEREWOLF (1956), the make-up used to create our teenage werewolf is actually quite remarkable when one considers the limited budget make-up artist Phillip Scheer had to deal with here.
		I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF also seems to borrow a large chunk of its plot from the 1956 film THE WEREWOLF which also features a pair of scientists responsible for turning a person into a werewolf, this time via a special serum followed by an hunt for said werewolf through the woods.
		The Title: One doesn't expect a film entitled I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF to be either as good or as serious in its treatment of the subject matter as this film is. It should be noted though that a title specifically referring to teenagers may well have gotten the attention of the teenage audience.

		Fowler because of his past work, was responsible for creating in "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" some very interesting camerawork that maximises the effect of the unfolding story.
		"I Was A Teenage Werewolf" began a trend of "Teenage" themed movies in the 1950's but none of them came anywhere near the success of this film which struck a cord with a lot of youngsters and made an absolute fortune at the Box Office.
		I recommend "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" both as a wolfman film but also as a unique view into another time in film making when often great entertainment was produced on a tiny budget.

		Strangely enough, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, whether thanks to the script by Cohen and co-author Aben Kandel, the sensitive direction by Gene Fowler Jr., or the superb lead performance by Michael Landon, turned out to be surprisingly good, and very serious at its core.
		The result was Blood of Dracula, conceived and written by Cohen, which involved a teenage girl transformed into a vampire by one of her teachers -even rushed for an idea and a script (and a film), Cohen managed to create a picture with fascinating undertones of lesbianism, right in the middle of the staid 1950s.
		I Was a Teenage Frankenstein was never as well liked as its predecessor, partly because of the change in tone -it was grislier in its action and lacked the innocence of its predecessor, and audiences had a sense of being "let in" on the joke, which wasn't as much fun.

		The secret to I Was a Teenage Werewolf’s success-- and, by extension, that of AIP as a whole-- was that it was aimed explicitly at the teen audience.
		There are no teenagers in It Conquered the World, Earth vs. The Flying Saucers, or Tarantula, and those teenagers that do appear in, say, The She-Creature are of decidedly secondary importance to the story.
		In fact, the very first scene of I Was a Teenage Werewolf has Tony embroiled in a raging fist-fight with another boy who must outweigh him by about 75%.

	GLAAD: I Was A Teenage, Er, Werewolf
		While Xander is not, he does not feel the need to correct the gay youth's misinterpretation, though he is somewhat flustered by the experience.
		Some film critics have interpreted such classic werewolf films as I Was A Teenage Werewolf as metaphors for the experience of the closet and feelings of public ostracization that many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face, particularly young people just realizing their sexual orientation.
		On this episode of Buffy, that metaphor is made more explicit and the largely youth-oriented viewership of the show benefits from the representation of a young person coming to terms with being gay and coming out.

	Herman Cohen -- obituary
		The film was notable for a series of scream-inducing moments of tension, including a game of cat-and-mouse during which the werewolf stalks a solitary gymnast in a school gymnasium, finally catching her as she hangs upside down from a trapeze.
		The appearance of the werewolf - a furry beast with claws and fangs, dressed in jacket and jeans, became an icon of the teen horror genre.
		These included I was a Teenage Frankenstein, in which Whit Bissell plays Dr Frankenstein in a version of the story set on a college campus, and Blood of Dracula, in which a hypnotised teenage girl becomes a vampire.

		The anger has a real paranoia to it too - such as the idea that adults secretly regard teenagers as subjects for experiments in anger manipulation and that they regard teen anti-authoritarianism as akin to their being animals.
		The explanation for Landon’s lycanthropy vies between the suggestion that Landon is a werewolf because he is close to his primitive ancestry; between the doctor’s drug experimentation; and between a dash of then trendy Bridey Murphy hypnotic regression.
		And one can guarantee there is no other modern day werewolf film where the authorities accept the existence of a werewolf so matter-of-factly.

		After finally sitting down and watching I Was A Teenage Werewolf, I can honestly say it's just about as crappy a movie as I think you'd expect it to be.

		For a largely crappy movie, I Was A Teenage Werewolf is a real hoot and well worth overlooking its flaws.

		You really had to be a teenager in 1957 to appreciate the effect this movie had on teens back then.
		He may at first have had doubts about being connected with it with the initial uproar, which is why he turned down the chance to play the werewolf a second time, but after that, he never bad-mouthed the film.
		Philip Scheer's werewolf makeup is one of the better pre-Howling/American Werewolf ones in movie history and while the transformation scene isn't as good as in THE WOLF MAN or THE WEREWOLF, the director did not have a lot of money or time to work with and did a good job considering.

	And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)
		: Whit Bissell’s performance as Dr Alfred Brandon in I Was A Teenage Werewolf is probably the definitive depiction of a scientist on film - that is, he embodies every myth and misconception ever dreamed up by a screenwriter and swallowed by the public.
		Nevertheless, when their cheap little exploitation picture became the surprise smash hit of 1957, AIP was quick to capitalise, and the major studios were not far behind.
		Astonishingly, I Was A Teenage Werewolf provoked the ire of politicians and moral crusaders alike, who accused the film of "promoting juvenile delinquency".

		I Was a Teenage Werewolf is generally considered the first of a genre of horror films targeting teenage audiences.
		In this very conservative and frightened era, parents and even the federal government felt the delinquency depicted in the film would promote the same type of behavior offscreen--there were government investigations which attempted to prove this.
		All this negative publicity brought teenagers to see the film in droves--it became AIP's biggest money maker of 1957 and spawned a series of films putting a different spin on the original title.
