Who else used to wear this out when they were a kid? A werewolf preacher, Gary Busey, fireworks, a souped up wheelchair. This movie had it all!

I see AMC is going to be airing this several times Saturday and I might watch it for old times’ sake.

When I was a kid I absolutely hated scary movies. They scared me to death. For many years Silver Bullet was the most terrifying movie I had ever seen. It destroyed me as a young kid.

Funny now because I love horror movies. But every time I drive by like waist-high fog on the ground, it makes me think of SB.

Saw it in the movie theater as a kid, but haven't seen it since then. I remember it being a surprisingly good little horror movie, though. The same goes for April Fool's Day and a couple of others that came out around that time.

Ha! That made me think of the scene with the bat.

SB never really scared me as a kid, but holy jumped up bald-headed Jesus palomino, “Lizzie” from Tales From the Darkside sure did. I wedged a chair under the knob of my closet door for weeks after I saw that episode.

My brother is several years older than me and he basically forced me to watch it at my grandparents house out in the boonies in Castor. I was pretty little and it scarred me for life, too. At our house in Red River parish, I had an armadillo that would rustle around in the bushes outside my bedroom window, and I could hear coyotes howling out in the woods. I had no doubt in my mind it was a werewolf that was gonna come through my window any moment

As an adult, I'm a firefighter and an electrician. I'll give zero fricks about going into burning buildings or working with live electricity. I've been swimming with sharks in the Bahamas and Cancun, and I jumped off a private charter boat to swim in the deep blue Pacific 25 miles off Costa Rica. I have a company outing planned for next spring to take my employees skydiving.

I am still scared of werewolves. frick that movie.

Hell yeah! I don't know what it is about this movie, but it is one of the rare horror films that actually freaked me out as a kid. I think what bothered me was that the werewolf was actually trying to kill a kid. My mom always told me there's nothing to be scared about in horror movies, because they never killed children. This one did, and it fricked me up


Yes I watched it a shite ton of times. I need to bust it out again; it's been way too long.

Loved it. One of my favorites. The scene when they’re looking for someone with one eye and the sister visits the priest… so good.

Easily the best werewolf movie ever made

Followed by the original Werewolf in London

Watched this movie when I was 4, I was at my older brother's friends spend the night parties. The scene when he killed the drunk guy outside of his house got me. I freaked the hell out crying so my mom has to come pick me up from the party. It took me 10 years later to finally watch that movie. I also watched the Howling when I was 6 with my cool uncle. That shite spooked me pretty damn good too. I went to a Co Lin basketball game when I was little, my parents brought me to the Wolf, told me who the wolf was, I knew the wolf, and so I see the person in there through the mask. I thought the wolf had eaten the person I knew and so I freaked out. Damn wolves and werewolves.
