What do you get when you combine basketball, werewolves, and van surfing? Well, you get Teen Wolf.
Directed by Rod Daniel and written by Jeph Loeb and Matthew Weisman, Teen Wolf follows high school student Scott Howard whose ordinary life is changed when he discovers that he is a werewolf. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, this coming-of-age romantic fantasy comedy film stars Michael J Fox in the title role.
Scott learns from his father Harold (James Hampton), that being a werewolf runs in the family, and he decides to take advantage of his freakish trait. With newfound strength and agility, Scott quickly becomes the hero of his school’s basketball team while winning over long-time crush Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin). As he grows more popular, Scott worries he is being celebrated as a novelty rather than for who he is.
