But, this story has been written by the Stephen King. The writing is good (pretty obvious) and the beautiful yet terrifying illustrations by Berni Wrightson would add to the pleasure of reading. Under the light of the full moon, a werewolf stalks the people of Tarker's Mills. Can anyone stop... The Cycle of the Werewolf?!?!?!? The Tease: When Jane wasn't involved with taking care of Marty or investigating the werewolf, she was pretty flirtatious with some of the local guys.In the book the werewolf laid low while the posse hunted for him. Here the werewolf goes after and kills several of them.

Properly Paranoid: After what he did to its eye, Marty expects the werewolf to come after him in one form or another for both revenge and to prevent any chance of the truth coming out. Lowe makes that abundantly clear very shortly. Appropriately, Nan is one to Jane. Early on, Jane's narration notes that continually having to watch after Marty was a cross to bear; we then see her suffer an embarrassing prank and exclaiming she hates him. Later on, it's clear that Nan didn't enjoy a lifetime of watching after Red; their one-on-one scene highlights a noticeable strain on their relationship.Image credit: Paramount Pictures) How Daniel Attias’ Silver Bullet Differs From Stephen King’s Cycle Of The Werewolf Tsundere: Kate Coslaw, who ranges from Bratty Teenage Daughter to Cool Big Sis when the time comes. When the werewolf tries to go after Marty, she's easily the most concerned for his safety, despite having taunted him the night before, and often tries to make up for any act that might be deemed cruel to him. The werewolf was no slouch in the book, but his method of dealing with the mob hunting him during the full moon was to move to another town for the night so they wouldn't find him. In this movie, he actually goes to confront them, and wins. Milt Sturmfuller was one of the werewolf’s final victims in the novel, but here he is the third victim. What Happened to the Mouse?: The above-mentioned Vigilante Militia, who Marty never tries to tell about Lowe (although he might not have known about them due to being out of town for a while and being a kid whose parents don't talk to him much about what's going on).

In Cycle of the Werewolf, Stephen King's shortest novel to date (it's actually technically a novella), the fictional town of Tarker's Mills, Maine is terrorized by a werewolf who emerges once every month, when the moon is full, from January all the way to December in an unspecified year, claiming victims and leading the town to believe there is a human serial killer who only kills when the moon is full. They eventually dub this mysterious murderer "The Full Moon Killer", though eventually rumours begin to spread amongst the people of the town that the culprit is really a werewolf. Most dismiss these rumours as childish foolishness, but the reader is shown the truth from the very beginning. Reverend Lester Lowe, the werewolf, is first mentioned in the story in April, preaching a sermon about the coming of spring. Around May, he has a nightmare in which his entire congregation—and then he himself—transform into werewolves before he awakens. The next morning, he finds Clyde Corliss, a custodian, dead on the pulpit at his church. He is seen as a pillar of the community and has been viewed that way for years, coming to call Tarker's Mills home.

Discussion

Wilmington, Michael (October 11, 1985). "'Silver Bullet' Misses the Target". Los Angeles Times. Part VI, p. 4. Any dedicated moon-watcher will know that, regardless of the year, I have taken a good many liberties with the lunar cycle – usually to take advantage of days (Valentine's, July 4th, etc.) which 'mark' certain months in our minds. To those readers who feel that I didn't know any better, I assert that I did... but the temptation was simply too great to resist. Cassandra Truth: Averted. Once Marty has seen the creature with his own eyes, injuring it in the process, the people he trusts do in fact believe him. Fairplay Whodunnit: Before Reverend Lowe is revealed to be the werewolf, there is a chapter where the character has an intense dream sequence showing several other townsfolk turning into werewolves. Experienced readers/viewers may recognize this as a symptom of lycanthropy.
