Silver Bullet Shorts
Description: Silver Bullet is a 1985 American horror thriller film based on the 1983 Stephen King novella Cycle of the Werewolf. It stars Gary Busey, Everett McGill, and Corey Haim, with Megan Follows, Terry O'Quinn, Lawrence Tierney, Bill Smitrovich, Kent Broadhurst, David Hart, and James Gammon in supporting roles. The film is directed by Dan Attias, written by King and produced by Martha De Laurentiis.
Description: When a series of unexplained murders occur in the normally quiet town of Tarker's Mill, the residents decide to hunt down the killer. However, many of these vigilantes end up dead, and those who don't are no closer to finding the assailant. When a young paraplegic named Marty encounters a werewolf one night, the pieces begin to come together. Along with his sister and Uncle Red, Marty begins a mission to capture the werewolf once and for all. This is the synopsis of the 1985 film Silver Bullet, which is a rather charming entry into the werewolf genre that seamlessly combines the gory horror of R rated flicks with the fable-esque, childlike sensibility.
Description: Unsolved murders continue to mount, curfews are put in place, canceling the town's Fourth of July celebration. The locals decide to have their own backyard party and invite their mother's alcoholic brother, Red. Red gifts Marty a custom-built wheelchair/motorcycle, which he nicknames the "Silver Bullet," along with a pile of fireworks for his own celebration. Marty sneaks out in the middle of the night to a bridge, where he lights the fireworks. The display draws the attention of the werewolf.
Description: Turns out the legendary silver bullet comes in more than one form. 😏 A terrified werewolf comes face-to-face with a suspiciously modern take on his oldest weakness in this cheeky retro horror design. Vintage monster-movie energy, pulp-comic artwork, and a joke that gets considerably funnier once you notice what she’s holding.
