Clint Walker is chilling in this film

"I have always loved werewolves, but this one has a twist. Won't give the movie away, but Clint Walker spent 20 years playing goody two shoes roles in Hollywood, like WB's and ABC's "Cheyenne" and he did a lot of great films where he wasn't quite the good guy, "Fort Dobbs" sticks out. But overall, he played a Saint. This movie he doesn't. He's a bit older in it and so is Peter Graves. But the movie is well worth seeing. I loved every chilling moment of it, with the shocking ending. I suggest you buy it if you are a fan of Walker's, Graves' or Werewolf genre."
Another Dan Curtis Classic!

"I won't go into the whole plot of this movie but I will say that there is a twist at the end.
If you grew up with Curtis's other classic flicks such as The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler, and The Norliss Tapes, then you'll appreciate the job he's done on this film. A bonus I didn't even know about until I saw the opening credits was Richard Matheson did the teleplay for this made-for-TV movie.
But I have to agree with the other reviewers that the video quality is pretty weak. A fair amount of grain and other digital artifacts can be found throughout the film. Not enough to get on a person's nerves, though. But, at least Brentwood/BCI released this classic on DVD.
Here's a tip: Don't buy the more expensive title above with the wolf on the cover. Buy Brentwood's "Beasts of Terror" package which gives you four movies for under ten dollars! You get "Scream of the Wolf" included plus some other interesting horror films. Makes sense. Right?
Thumbs up! I only wish they'd pull out all the stops one day and release a comprehensive package covering Dan Curtis's horror films. Maybe one day while I'm still around. ;-)"
Were's the murderer?

"Cool music, cool Corvette Stingray,
interesting characters,
spooky atmosphere and scary goings-on.
What's not to like.
This is a very nice murder mystery.
I'll watch it again.
I'm glad that I have it."
