But it is only 72 minutes or so and not too bad for a made for tv flick. You've seen worse. "You suffer the consequences of speaking your mind if it isn't what people want to hear"-Adewale Ogunleye

I've been a Barbara Rush fan since I was a youngster, and Bradford Dillman and David Jansen were TV staples in the 70s. And don't forget Geoffrey Lewis is the same guy who showed up recently in The Devil's Rejects and still looks the same! The film is based on a better book (what's new) of the same name by Leslie Whitten. For some reason I remember the setting of the book was Washington, D.C., but I may be confusing it with Whitten's only other genre novel, Progeny of the Adder, in which a vampire stalks our nation's capital. ...

It's nice to see a horror film populated by someone other than teens and tweens, even if you have to go back to the 70's to get one. This has become a side joy of watching the old "Kolchak" episodes as well - watching all those veteran performers screaming at each other!

You are confusing it with Progeny's location. The book, which I own, is definitely set in Lousiana. I'm sure you've noticed The Nightstalker's simularity in plot to Progeny. Pity that was never made into a film. Darren McGavin not withstanding, I think it's a better story.

Good suspense was built up in this film as the werewolf wasn't revealed too early. It was much better than "Scream Of The Wolf", which didn't even have a damn werewolf in it... Always working

That's the DVD set I have as well, and I bought it specifically for "Snowbeast" and "Moon Of The Wolf"! Yeah, "Scream Of The Wolf" was always a BIG disapointment to me as a kid. I've always hated those "no monster" monster movies.

Aug 4 06 8:17 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just purchased both "Moon Of The Wolf" and "Progeny Of The Adder" by Leslie Whitten. Got these paperbacks on Amazon used for about $3.00 a piece (after seeing MOTW on e-Bay for $10). Just another example of me buying stuff after reading a CHFB thread...

I think you're confusing this film with Scream of the Wolf (starring Clint Walker). This is the David Janssen/Barbara Rush legitimate southern-fried horror (made for TV) epic. ... Reed

Aug 4 06 10:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	At the time, I liked this, too. That's when some of the best TV-movies in this genre we love were being made, and with good adult actors. I read PROGENY OF THE ADDER and that was a good read. I think I made an effort to find it after reading about it in CINEFANTASTIQUE.
