Atlantic Releasing Corporation released Teen Wolf on August 23, 1985. Rod Daniel directed the film which starred Michael J. Fox, James Hampton, and Susan Ursitti. ‘Teen Wolf’ Movie Summary Scott Howard under-achieves in high school on an under-achieving basketball team. He lives in an under-achieving little town in middle America. He kinda works at his nice-guy father’s hardware store. He has a crush on the hottest girl in school, Pamela, who is dating 27-year-old town bully, Mick, who plays on the opposing team. Scott has a con-artist best friend named Styles who loves to surf on top of Scott’s work van and never says die when it comes to buying a keg of beer. Scott has an adorable girl-next-door he’s known all his life named Boof who has the hots for mild-mannered Scott. But Scott is too worried about his lousy hook shot, his six-dollar haircut and a new rash that he’s experiencing at all the wrong times to notice Boof’s obvious advances. One night, after an especially heated closet tumble with Boof at the most sexualized high school party in recent memory, Scott goes home and immediately does the PG-version of the American Werewolf in London quick-change into a miniature wookie…. I mean a werewolf. Scott’s father meets him at the door in matching Chewbacca, I mean werewolf costume and explains it’s a family heirloom, I mean curse, that may or may not pass from generation to generation. The next morning, Scott’s father tells him when he wants it, Scott has great power. What his father fails to tell him is what those powers are once he becomes a wolf, because it’s a coming-of-age movie and why spoil the surprise. Scott decides to hide the family secret only until the next day when he turns into the wolf so he can sniff out Styles’ stash of marijuana. During the next basketball game, Scott gets fouled and in a heated dogpile of bodies, Scott gets angry and turns into a mix of Sasquatch and Bill Walton on the court in front of everyone. Scott instantly becomes the second-coming of Magic Johnson in a headband and puts on a basketball clinic, winning the game with a series of awfully edited dunk shots.
