Fox's WEREWOLF Series Finally Comes To DVD September 1st!
Share on Facebook
Oh hells yes! One of my all time favorite TV shows was the old Fox series simply titled WEREWOLF which began airing on that network back in 1987. For years, only bootleg versions have been available via the convention circuit. Now, TV Shows on DVD announces that Shout! Factory (who also brought us SWAMP THING: THE SERIES on DVD) will be putting out the entire series on DVD on September 1st!
The show followed Eric Cord (John J. York), a man recently infected with the curse of the werewolf on the run from bounty hunter Alamo Joe Rogan (Lance LeGault) and in search of Skorzeny (Chuck Conners in one of his final TV roles), the head werewolf Eric is convinced turned him. It follows the basic premise of THE INCREDIBLE HULK series, but with a werewolf! A Rick Baker werewolf no less! (In the same way that Bruce Banner's eyes would turn green before he changed, in WEREWOLF the pentagram on Eric's hand would start bleeding before every transformation!)

I loved this show way back when, at the time (in Australia), shown paired with episodes of the 80's(?) Twilight Zone series.
something tells me I'd rather leave it as a good childhood memory though.
shame about the terrible looking cover!

That's not the "actual" cover to the upcoming official DVD release. It's the infamous cover to the bootleg versions you'd find at any horror convention here in the States. I'm SURE they'll come up with something different. And having watched the show recently, it still holds up to your memory of it, I assure you!
