I Was a Teenage Werewolf
is a 1957
horror film
starring
Michael Landon
as a troubled teenager,
Yvonne Lime
and
Whit Bissell
. It was co-written and produced by
cult film
producer
Herman Cohen
---and was one of the most successful films released by
American International Pictures
(AIP).
It was originally released as a
double feature
with
Invasion of the Saucer Men
. They included the
tagline
, "We DARE You To See The Most Amazing Pictures Of Our Time!"
Samuel Z. Arkoff wrote in his memoirs that he got a lot of resistance for producing a film portraying a teenager becoming a monster, an idea that had never been exploited in film before.
The film became the first to have the word "teenage" in the title.
I Was a Teenage Werewolf
helped launch Landon's career, as he became a regular on
Bonanza
only two years later, staying for the entire TV show's run.
Although today the film is largely regarded as a source of "
camp
" humor, and while at the time of release the idea of an adult human turning into a beast was nothing new, the idea of a
teenager
doing just that in a movie was considered
avant-garde
—and even shocking—in 1957.
