La malédiction du loup-garou

When the FOX network started they had a lot of quirky, interesting shows. One of them was Werewolf, which unfortunately, didn't last beyond its first season. The opening credits to this show was great, showing a full moon in the sky before panning down to a werewolf hidden in the bushes. Chuck Connors was great as a malevolent werewolf who gave the impression that he could control when and where he transformed into one, unlike the hero of the show. Connor's character was killed off near the end of the show's run, I believe. However, the main character discovered that there was another werewolf more powerful than Connor's character that had to be dispatched as well before the curse could be broken. That plotline had much potential, but FOX didn't stick with it.

Werewolf. Almost no one remembers this little gem of the 80's! It was a breakthrough in special effects! Especially since it was a television series. It was definitely movie quality at the time and can stand on it's own today. The story was so engrossing that I remember planting myself in front of the television, guarding the dial like a rabid dog, just so no one changed the channel as I waited for the show to come on. I would love to see this on DVD in the near future. That heaven seems to be fading by the day. I;m keeping my fingers crossed! C'Mon Fox or Tristar or whoever has the rights to this show... How about Frank Lupo? Is he still alive? I'd love to spread knowledge about this great series... but I can't even find it on VHS!!! All i ask is for this to be brought back into the spotlight where it belongs.

After recently discovering a short-lived show called "Wolf Lake", I began reminiscing about the best werewolf show that I can remember as a series on television. I miss this show "Werewolf". I remember watching this show on USA on Friday or Saturday nights. It was either preceded by or followed by another great show called "The Hitchhiker". These two shows made for one heck of a night of television watching for not only a young teenage boy (me), but for anybody who enjoys supernatural monsters (i.e. werewolves) and thrilling tales of fantasy. I thought the werewolves on this show were the most vicious, coolest looking werewolves that I had seen yet. And while the pentagram on the palm doesn't go with traditional folklore, I like it. This is definitely a show that I yearn to see as reruns on cable t.v, or better yet, picked up by a network and continued where it left off.

I remember this show from my youth. I remember being pretty into it. The werewolf transformations were incredibly well done... the work by Baker fantastic. I also remember Skorzeny scaring the crap out of me as an impressionable youngster. Really, really creepy character. A shame the show didn't last longer.

I remember when I was younger and use to not be able to wait for the show to come on because, I could not wait to see the werewolf. The werewolf was the reason I wanted to watch the show, not to mention the whole story line. The fact that Eric was bitten and sets out to find the werewolf who could be the cure makes for an incredible series of events that could take place. What makes it more exciting is that Skorzeney is a bigger more powerful werewolf. I have to agree that the show had great potential especially after finding out that there is a werewolf more powerful than Skorzeney. Why they didn't stick withit I don't know.
