Wadleigh has made nothing since and Woodstock and Wolfen make for a decidedly odd cinematic legacy. Michael Wadleigh had done nothing in the ensuing twelve years and Wolfen was a rather odd choice for him to make a return to screen with – a work as far removed from Woodstock one is probably less likely to find. The director on board was Michael Wadleigh who a decade before had directed Woodstock (1970), a film that perpetuated the legend of Woodstock – in fact, created more of the legend than the actual event itself did. NYPD detective Albert Finney vs the wolves A few years later, Strieber would make bizarre claims to have been abducted and probed by aliens – see Communion (1989), the film adapted from Strieber’s non-fiction book about his experiences. Wolfen was taken from a 1978 novel by Whitley Strieber, who at the time was a horror author who also wrote the books that became the basis of The Hunger (1983) and the tv series Hunters (2016). Against these others, Wolfen was an interesting alternate voice, although was not a major success. Both The Howling and American Werewolf were notable in their unique and original deconstructions of the werewolf film and most importantly in their employment of an impressive arsenal of air-bladder transformation effects to show the human-to-wolf transformations in thorough detail. Wolfen came out in a period of about a year-and-a-half that heralded a major revival of werewolf movies – most notably The Howling (1980) and An American Werewolf in London (1981), as well as Larry Cohen’s outrightly comedic take Full Moon High (1982).

As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death. The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.

Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory.
