Full Moon High (1981): The Werewolf Movie Gets Weird

We've had gothic tragedy.

We've had terrifying transformations.

We've had supernatural murder mysteries.

Now we need something stupid.

Enter Full Moon High (1981).

This horror comedy takes the basic teenage werewolf concept and runs directly toward absurdity.

And after nine nights of curses, death and people screaming underneath full moons, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Werewolf movies have always been unusually flexible.

They can be terrifying.

They can be tragic.

And apparently they can also become high-school comedies.

Night 10 is our reminder not to take this marathon too seriously.
