The 9 Best Movies About Kids and Werewolves

Scream Factory (a.k.a. the Criterion Collection for horror fans) recently released both the 1973 camp classic The Boy Who Cried Werewolf and Eric Red‘s 1996 a boy and a dog and a werewolf cult flick Bad Moon. Since both of these flicks involve little boys with big werewolf problems, we decided to compile a list of The 9 Best Movies About Kids and Werewolves.

Our list goes back as far as the 1950s and through to last year’s monster mash Goosebumps. It’s a fun list, because it reminds us why young kids love the idea of a hairy lyncanthrope so much: It’s a creature that has so much undirected rage that every once in a while it just goes crazy and runs amuck… kinda like kids! 

While The Boy Who Cried Werewolf disc is basically bare-bones, the transfer is excellent and the movie itself is an underseen gem from that ’70s era, recently featured on METV’s Svengoolie. Bad Moon, on the other hand, is given the full Scream Factory deluxe treatment featuring Red’s director’s cut, a director commentary, storyboards and a terrific half-hour documentary on the making of the film in which they show how they accomplished the amazing werewolf effects (as well as apologize for the terrible CGI transformation scene).

Both discs are well worth checking out after you read our list below! Be sure to click full screen on a desktop to read the full article!
