White Wall Cinema: TEEN WOLF
40TH ANNIVERSARY
October 24 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

Just over a month after Back to the Future smashed box office records, 1985’s hottest property, Michael J. Fox, returned to the big screen in this iconic ’80s teen comedy. In Teen Wolf, Fox plays Scott Howard—an average, unlucky-in-love teenager and hopeless high school basketball player—whose body starts going through some… unusual changes… it quickly becomes apparent that this is more than just an aggressive case of puberty. Discovering and revealing your identity as a werewolf is hard enough—but try doing it while trying to impress the popular girl and win the big game
Endlessly silly, proudly escapist, and unapologetically ’80s, this high school coming-of-age comedy leans fully into its joyously thin plot and delightfully hokey werewolf premise. Teen Wolf aims squarely for fun, but also flashes a sly satirical edge beneath its gloriously daft exterior. A spirited B-movie at heart, Teen Wolf was elevated to box office success thanks to its charming and talented lead. Made for just $4 million, the film grossed over $80 million, debuting at No. 2 at the box office—second only to (you guessed it) Back to the Future.
While the 1980s delivered a slew of iconic teen films—from The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything— it was Teen Wolf that broke new ground by popularizing the supernatural high school teen. paving the way for the likes of The Lost Boys, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, Jennifer’s Body, and Warm Bodies. Not only that this irresistible premise, spawned a sequel—the brilliantly titled Teen Wolf Too, with Jason Bateman replacing Fox—an animated ’80s TV series, and a darker, a 2010s TV reboot (which even got its own movie). Teen Wolf has undoubtedly cemented its place in pop culture history and remains a deeply enjoyable, throwaway gem that howls(!) with nostalgia in every scene.
