FAQ

Mild-mannered family man, Duncan Marsh (Steven Ritch) finds himself in the village of Mountaincrest with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Marsh seeks medical help from Doctor Jonas Gilcrist (Ken Christy) and his niece Amy Standish (Joyce Holden). It's soon learned that Marsh is a werewolf, made so after a car accident in which he was treated by two scientists, Morgan Chambers (George Lynn) and Emory Forrest (S. John Launer), who have been experimenting with a special serum made from irradiated wolf blood that has the unfortunate side-effect of turning a person into a werewolf. With Sheriff Jack Haines (Don Megowan), Deputy Sheriff Ben Clovey (Harry Lauter), and most of Mountaincrest after him, Marsh tries to survive in the mountainous countryside.

The Werewolf is based on a story and screenplay by American screenwriters Robert E. Kent and James B. Gordon.

With two more bodies, the Sheriff is convinced hunting down and killing Marsh is the only solution. He and the posse search the woods. Armed with torches and guns they press on, encouraged by a blood trail to follow. They close in and throw torches at the creature. The fire and gunshots scare the werewolf. The Sheriff and posse decide to leave and return when it's light. The next morning they return in force and begin the pursuit. They spot him heading for the bridge. A Caterpillar Grader is employed to block the bridge. The werewolf climbs over the bridge and up an embankment. He is shot several times and transforms back into human form as he lay dying. The final scene closes on the bridge and an exchange between Haines and Clovey. Clovey exclaims, "You see that? He changed back again. Do you think he'll stay that way this time?" Haines replies, "Yeah, he'll stay. Now he can go home."
