Long before Michael Landon was an angel or a pioneer father he made his feature film debut in 1957, in I Was a Teenage Werewolf. The troubled teen genre meets, well, lycanthropy as a hypnotherapist takes Landon’s character back to his primitive nature…and into the realms of horror-ridden teen angst. Which was a new thing. And granted, American International Pictures (the people who would go on to give you stuff like Beach Party) went nuts with it, but for horror movie posterity, it’s definitely worth watching.
The film was popular enough that Landon released a single, which we’ve included below simply because we can. So let’s lead off with “Gimme a Little Kiss (Will Ya Huh).”

Um. Yeah. Where were we? Right. Werewolves.
Shockingly, this appears to be out of print at the moment. So enjoy it here while you can.
