Connections, in both directions
Ginger Snaps (2000)
Directed by John Fawcett
influenced by I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)
Characters
We've seen teenage werewolves before, from Michael Landon in I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) to Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf (1985) to Seth Green in TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
“I Was a Teenage Werewolf” (1957) really was a “challenging drama of today’s teenage violence,” but that slogan was reserved for a prestige picture, “Rebel Without a Cause.”
The Visit (2015)
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
influenced by I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)
Themes
It’s a middle-aged white guy’s interpretation of modern teenagers, and it feels as disconnected from reality as 1957’s I Was a Teenage Werewolf .
Take the late 1950s teen-horror breakthrough “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” and retitle it “I Was A Teenage Red Panda,” and you’d have “Turning Red.”
Slither (2006)
Directed by James Gunn
influenced by I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958)
Plot
Gunn's goofy tale mashes together such classics as "The Night of the Living Dead" with "I Married a Monster from Outer Space," "The Blob" and David Cronenberg's "Shivers."
