“He always wanted to be special… but he never expected THIS!”
Original 1985 UK Quad movie poster for the best movie poster Michael J. Fox made, that isn’t “Back to the Future”, Rod Daniel’s teenage angst comedy with a werewolf twist “Teen Wolf”. With artwork by Lucinda Cowell, I personally feel it displays far better in the landscape format of the UK quad than the equivalent one-sheet. Originally rolled (as issued – uncommon with this title) this fantastic looking poster displays to excellent effect with lovely deep, unfaded colours. A great piece of 1980s nostalgia, presented in near perfect condition for one of cinema’s best loved stars.
Trivia: Scott Howard’s (Michael J. Fox‘s) house was located on the same block as 1955 George McFly’s and 1955 Lorraine Baines’ houses from Back to the Future (1985).

“As if being the most pathetic player on his school’s perpetually overshadowed basketball team weren’t enough, average 17-year-old high school student Scott Howard is about to discover that his problems are far from over. And as the first signs of unwanted change destroy what’s left of his meagre chances of falling in love, Scott accidentally discovers his family’s hereditary condition. Now Scott sprouts hair everywhere, and his ridiculed team is on a winning streak. But how on earth can a bullied student become an overnight sensation? Is the “teenage werewolf” persona the answer to Scott’s prayers?”
“Teen Wolf” starts as average high school teenager Scott Howard (Michael J. Fox) is having problems, he can’t get Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin) to notice him, the school vice President is giving him a hard time & the school basketball team he plays for suck. However Scott starts to undergo changes, he grows long strands of hair, has claw like fingernails & hears dog whistles as Scott discovers that he in fact a Werewolf & that his dad Harold (James Hampton) is also one as it runs in the family. Soon Scott’s secret is exposed & the whole town loves the wolf, under pressure to remain popular & the center of attention Scott lets the Wolf get out of control & uses his animal like strength & agility to get the basketball team to the state finals but Scott soon realises that the Werewolf inside him is as much a curse as a blessing.
“Teen Wolf” is a likable film more than a really good one, it sets a standard tale of teen angst & anxieties against the backdrop of a Werewolf film with comedy & is quite fun if a little dated & predictable. Followed by a cartoon series Teen Wolf (1986) which ran for twenty one episodes & a live action sequel Teen Wolf Too (1987) while the makers of Teen Witch (1987) might have took inspiration from Teen Wolf.

The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

ONE-SHEET
27 x 41″ printed on paper. This is the most common size of poster, intended to be displayed in a glass “marquee” case. It is the most sought after size by collectors.

Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
