I'm torn with this one. On one hand it's part of the too-goofy trend of mid-80s horror comedies like Teen Wolf that I never really took to. Still, there is a certain fun to the idea of dating a kindly monster, something I myself wouldn't be adverse to.

I think the title character was initially supposed to be a standard werewolf.
Tell me where the Blood Red River runs/ From my back door to the rising sun/ On again away till dawn/ Never straight and way too long
