I'll go with Silver Bullet. That kid had the sweet wheelchair with a hemi in it.

Peace

American Werewolf in London is my all time favorite.

I seem to remember a really good black and white one with Christopher Lee, sorry but i cant remember the name of it, bloody spooky though for its time.

anyone see the howling recently ? I remember that was pretty scary.

"Abbott and Costello meet the Werewolf", I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
"American Werewolf in London" was always one of my favorites.

American Werewolf in London is the runa away favorite, cool.

Anyone see wolfen ? Was That any good ?

Actually it was "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" but Wolfman & Dracula are in it.

Got that one on DVD actually.

I wasn't too taken with Wolfen. Didn't think it was that good.

How about "I Was a Teenage Werewolf"? An old Michael Landon vehicle good for a few laughs.

Other than the ones already mentioned, try Dog Soldiers.

Here's a good link for all things movie werewolf related-

I think American werewolf in London is the best.
It had a awesome changing seen,that was tops for its time.

An American Werewolf in London by a long way!

erm...I suppose you could get Michael Jackson's Thriller, that's still pretty groovy even til this day!

Wolfen and The Howling are pretty good from a nostalgic point of view as well.

Best werewolf movie?

I'd agree that Silver Bullet is great. Most re-watchable of them all

Can't believe that no one mentioned Ginger Snaps!

www.imdb.com...

Even the sequel was pretty good.

Other top picks:
o Dog Soldiers A++
o Howling (original) A
o Brotherhood of the Wolf - with Mark Dacascos A+++
o Wolf - Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer - A++
o Wolfen - A
o Sleepwalkers - A-
o American Werewolf in London/Paris - A-/A-

Got to go with "Dog Soliders" and "American Werewolf in London".

Love the scene in "Dog Soliders" towards the end where the character "spoon" fights the Werewolf in the kitchen with every utensil he can find.

Just to add to the discussion....Hollywood has decided to do a remake of the old black and white classic "The wolf Man"

Dog Soldiers all the way. It has elements of Predator, but with ultra-black humour.

Spoon, Coop, and the Sarge are all great characters.

I'm a big werewolf fan, but even I must admit that there are very few decent films dealing with them. The Howling, American Werewolf in London and Underworld are the only ones that I would suggest actually owning. Everything else is just bad or really bad in my opinion.

Anyone recall a television series about a werewolf in the late 80's? Perhaps it's just one of those memory fragments that I have floating around in the back of my head.

I recall seeing a show a while back called Werewolf.

Might be the show you are thinking of.

ok, dog soldiers it is.

I'm gonna pick that one up.

OK, how about vampire movies ?

as I posted earlier, I have underworld, UW Evolution and Van Helsing.

Anything out there top those ?

They don't come any scarier than Salem's Lot. The original I'm talking about, not the one they made for TBS or TNT a few years back. It's got Hutch from Starsky & Hutch in it.

Peace

I don't know about "best" or "scariest" but I thought the "Blade" trilogy was pretty good.

I also think "Lost Boys" and "Fright Night" are pretty entertaining popcorn & movie fare.

I know this is a movie thread, but for sheer entertainment, I recommend the book, "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub. The movie was a stinker despite a great cast, but for the book. It's more vampire than ghost, with shapeshifting, and cattle mutilation and layers of complexity. It starts a little slow, but if you hang in there, you will be rewarded with a rippingly good yarn.

Another vote for American Werewolf in London

Warewolf Movie: Obvious choice..American Warewolf in London.
The porno scenes made me laugh my a** off in the movies..I was only 14 at the time and snuck in with a friend.

This movie is in my top 10 movies of all time actually. The mixture of horror, gore, comedy,special effects, and romance was IMO perfect.

"I'm sorry I called you Meatloaf Jack"

Vampire Movies... #1 Would be Bram Strokers Dracula. I just loved the scene with Gary Oldman licking the razor.

The Underworld movies were also very well made.

Damn.. I have to throw Lost Boys in there too!

I noticed a couple of vampire movie titles were missing such as Interview With a Vampire and Queen of the Damned. My personal favourites are the two Underworld movies. Another movie although not vampire or werewolf related is Spawn. I thought that movie was alright and it had some really good special effects.
