I've never seen that poster before. Gary Busey and Corey Haim give terrific performances in this. It really captures that small (but not podunk) town feel, celebrating the 4th etc. its really relatable. I was right around the same age as Haim when I first saw this back in the 80's. That is a great poster. I wouldn't mind putting that up in the home office.

It's fun. Sometimes funny, intentionally and unintentionally. I doubt anyone while making the film would realize the look on Gary Busey's face when he finally faces the werewolf would be so hilarious. I wish I could have seen this movie in a theater just to see how the audience reacted. It's not a bad film. I think the werewolf scenes were unconvincing. The kills were silly. The characters in the town were ridiculous. But at the core was the trio of the brother, sister and drunk uncle, which is why I enjoyed this film. I will say this much. This is one of those instances where the film is better than the novel. Stephen King phoned that one in for an easy paycheck. You didn't like the Fog Scene with the Werewolf and the Kills in it ? Well, having just watched it (thank you, Prime!) I enjoyed it more this time around but for something that didn't register when I first saw it.
It is a very good depiction of American small town life, small town family and those bonds that never go away. The King novella doesn't begin to do this, so credit to the makers of the film.
And what happens when those bonds are tested by some threat, in this case a werewolf. (is the werewolf a metaphor for liberals? Hmmmm)
On that level, I think it succeeded better than as a werewolf movie, though there is much to like there, too.

If you don't mind me asking you, What did you think of both The Fog Scene and Gary Busey's Performance in the Movie ?

I think Busey was unintentionally hilarious, at times. I liked the quiet moments when he talked to Marty and Jane as their uncle. But his reaction to finally seeing the werewolf had me howling.
This is a film that plays very differently, at least for me, from when I saw it as a kid compared to as an adult.
