Bloody Homecoming (2013)

Bloody Homecoming: Directed by Brian C. Weed. With Jim Tavaré, Rae Latt, Lexi Giovagnoli, Alex Dobrenko. Three years after a tragic accident leaves a student dead at the annual Homecoming dance, a group of senior friends anxious about the return of Homecoming Night to their sleepy Southern town find themselves visited by a deadly presence from their past in the dark and desolate halls of their very own high school.

“While this video was released in the nineties, I believe this documentary was actually produced in the early eighties — thatu0026#39;s the only time period it covers, anyway. It begins by going through Lon Chaney Jru0026#39;s career as the Wolf Man, not only in his famous Universal movies but also his later, more embarrassing appearances in u0026quot;La Casa Del Terroru0026quot; and u0026quot;Route 66u0026quot;. It also has an audio interview with Lon Chaney, and I think thatu0026#39;s actually the only interview in the whole documentary, which consists pretty much of trailers, clips, stills, and an informative narration from Ted Newsom.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, it then goes back in time and covers u0026quot;Werewolf of Londonu0026quot; and most other werewolf movies from the forties — u0026quot;The Mad Monsteru0026quot;, u0026quot;The Undying Monsteru0026quot;, u0026quot;Return of the Vampireu0026quot; and u0026quot;Cry of the Werewolfu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s thorough to say the least, as far as the American movies are concerned anyway. We then move on to the fifties and cover both u0026quot;The Werewolfu0026quot; (1957), and the American Internation Pictures movies (u0026quot;I Was A Teenage Werewolfu0026quot; and u0026quot;How To Make A Monsteru0026quot;). It also covers movies with similar themes, such as u0026quot;The Ape Manu0026quot; and the u0026quot;Jekyll and Hydeu0026quot; series, including of course the u0026quot;Daughter of Dr Jekyllu0026quot; which actually was about a werewolf.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn to the sixties and we see clips from Hammeru0026#39;s u0026quot;Curse of the Werewolfu0026quot; and the infamous B-movie u0026quot;Lycanthropusu0026quot; (u0026quot;Werewolf in a Girlu0026#39;s Dormitoryu0026quot;). Then thereu0026#39;s a quick segment on Jacinto Molina, with clips from u0026quot;La Marca del Hombre-lobou0026quot; and u0026quot;La Noche De Walpurgisu0026quot;, but this is where things start to get a bit lazy — we briefly take a look at u0026quot;Werewolves on Wheelsu0026quot; and u0026quot;The Beast Must Dieu0026quot;, and thatu0026#39;s about it for the seventies. Even u0026quot;The Howlingu0026quot; and u0026quot;American Werewolfu0026quot; are mentioned only very briefly at the end. Ah, well …u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the most part this documentary is excellent, and Iu0026#39;d even go so far as to say this is the definitive video guide to American werewolf movies from 1935 to the late sixties, but it could have done with more detail on movies after that. Itu0026#39;s definitely worth a look, though.”
