Background: Directed by Rod Daniel and written by Jeph Loeb and Matthew Weisman, Teen Wolf (1985) is an iconic '80s fantasy comedy starring Michael J. Fox as Scott Howard, an awkward, bench-warming high schooler for the struggling Beacon Town Beavers basketball team who undergoes a shocking physical transformation after discovering his family's hereditary lycanthropy. Rather than turning into a terrifying monster, Scott becomes a full-bodied wolf with supernatural speed, agility, and dunking ability, instantaneously elevating him to high school stardom, boosting his basketball team to victory, and capturing the attention of popular girl Pamela (Lorie Griffin). However, as the hype around "the Wolf" explodes, Scott faces friction with his best friend Stiles (Jerry Levine), alienates his longtime unrequited love Boof (Susan Ursitti), and clashes with the antagonistic Vice Principal Thorne (Jim McKrell). Directed right before Fox's breakout turn in Back to the Future, the film balances slapstick comedy and mid-'80s pop culture with a core coming-of-age message: after guidance from his werewolf father Harold (James Hampton), Scott ultimately benches his werewolf persona to play in the championship game as himself, demonstrating that self-acceptance outweighs superficial fame. Made on a tiny budget of $1.2 million, the movie grossed over $80 million worldwide, cementing Fox's superstardom and spinning off a 1987 sequel starring Jason Bateman, an animated series, and MTV's 2011 drama reboot.
