Okay, wait, we've already established that a goddamn bottle rocket did lasting damage to this werewolf. I feel like regular bullets would still be worth having in that gun.

The silver is for plugging werewolves not plot holes

yo what if there's multiple werewolves and each of them did a murder or two? maybe this other cop is a werewolf too.

Cop: also a wolf

I have two wolves inside of me and they were both poorly written by Stephen King

You don't need to explain to people in a small town what a lynch mob is. Clearly that was for the audience's benefit..

Okay, to hell with Pluto, morons, hopped on with @miru's stream. I can't believe it actually worked. I'm shocked! Took my dorky iphone 13 to start it, and the crap Samsung never works, but now it does. Inexplicable! But I'll take it!

After a scene where some cops don't do much, and another scene where some townpeople complain about taxes, we cut to wheelchair boy who is zooming along in his motorchair, escorting a girl home because she is scared of all the mystery murders and strange wolf noises.

She kisses him and he zooms off, then the girl's dad grumbles how how "cripples" should be electrocuted because otherwise they end up on welfare, so we're probably not supposed to like him. Maybe a wolf will eat him.

I wonder how Gary Busey

I award Silver Bullet 3 out of 5 out-of-place American accents. It was fine. Not boring or irritating, but nothing to write home about. A quintessentially average werewolf movie.

Having the weird uncle and the snooping kids use various talents to defeat the wolf priest probably kept the film interesting enough to watch.

And as the werewolf sets gently in the west, we end our broadcast day and thank you for joining us here, on Werewolf Light FM.

As always there's just one last thing to do before you leave the theater:

Was Stephen King's SILVER BULLET (1985) the WORST #monsterdon movie of the year?

And so they fucked off into the 80's.

Not bad TF effects for this time period. I was afraid the wolf would be just a hairy dude or Smokey the Bear. Nope, wolfiness was at least attempted.

I can also see the Stephen King influence here. I haven't read the book, but not the first time a movie has butchered his books.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

You can't scare us by threatening Jane, she's alive in voiceover.

Hairless swimmer guy becomes hairy werewolf, & reverse. Kinda mid SFX.

Red got scratched up pretty bad, is he gonna get infected & turn?

How are they planning on disposing of Big Ed's body, & patching the wall, before mom & dad get back?

NONE OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED.

Ahhh, the way old TV stations would just go off the air... Those were better days, when the endless stream of bullshit *actually did stop*

Eh. The bear trap was funnier. Hey, you think the bear trap guy survived that night because he had to go back to the car instead of into the obvious werewolf trap? #monsterdon

Back in real-life Marty is sad that his friend died and the girl he liked left town, but then his dad cheers him up by giving him a giant motorcycle wheelchair that is decked out with fires and Loud Pipes, which he thinks is very cool and so he drives off doing wheelies on the road and the dad is like "uh oh i hope he doesn't crash his cool wheelchair i hope i didn't make a mistake."

the vigilante mob searches the woods at night and then gets stuck in fog and eaten by a werewolf. the next day or so everyone is back in church and singing Amazing Grace because more townsfolk have been eaten.

The priest is like "man this is tough i dunno what to tell you" and Captain Eggplant is like "there is no comfort only private jealous" and then the priest is like "um... the bible and..." but then it's night and the sheriff and the congregation all turn into werewolves.

I was preaching in the church, late one night, when my eyes beheld an eerie sight

300 angry 80's townies run into the forest, 150 couples come back to town…
