Attention bad movie lovers: Terror has a new king, and it's name is The Werewolf Of Woodstock (1975). This film was originally part of ABC's "The Wide World Of Entertainment", a weekly shot-on-video time slot that would feature movies, specials, etc. The plot begins in the days following the Woodstock festival when an unsuccessful jam band hatches a scheme to sell more records by going to the aftermath of the festival to record, just so they can slap "recorded live at Woodstock" on the cover. Meanwhile, a hippie-hating Woodstock resident, Bert, goes on a rampage at the festival's site, ranting about freaks and destroying a stage scaffolding that is miraculously still there. The scaffolding gets struck by lightning while Bert is on it, transforming him into (are you ready for this?)... A Werewolf! I've seen episodes of Scooby-Doo that are more realistic than this movie. Basically, a guy in a cheap Halloween werewolf mask runs around for over 60 minutes terrorizing hippies, killing dogs, and jacking dune buggys. It's dumb. Real dumb. But if you love terrible movies as much as I do, it just may be worth seeking out. 6 out of 12 beers.
