This is great for several reasons. 1.) His father is also a known werewolf and nobody in this small town has ever bothered to bring it up. 2.) People seem unsurprised -- and actually rather charmed, by the transformation. 3.) Women, especially, dig his wolfness. 4.) He still wears a basketball uniform when he's the Teen Wolf, even though wolves don't wear clothes. 5.) On a purely scholarly level, Scott Howard's morphing doesn't mirror our collective understanding of how werewolves function.
The Alamo Drafthouse shows Teen Wolf in 35mm tonight at 7 p.m. and you should go, if only to wash your mind clean of that sequel we don't discuss and that taking-it-all-too-seriously television show. Up above is a video by California-based sketch troupe Summer of Tears, who greenscreened themselves into Teen Wolf to point out the beautiful absurdity of it all.
