Michael Landon later satirized his role in this film on his TV show, Highway to Heaven (1984). In the 1987 Halloween episode, "I Was A Middle Aged Werewolf," written and directed by Landon, the angel Jonathan Smith turns himself into a werewolf to scare off some bullies. Smith and his friend, Mark Gordon (Victor French) watch the movie I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) on TV. Watching the werewolf, Mark tells Jonathan, "You know, this guy in the movie reminds me a lot of you. I mean, when he's a regular guy, not when he's got fuzz all over his face."
One of the most successful films ever released by American International Pictures.
According to producer Herman Cohen, Jack Nicholson was turned down for the lead role, because he was "the wrong type". Nicholson later played a werewolf in Wolf (1994).
Made for just $150,000. The film went on to gross over $2 million.
American International Pictures rushed out a number of films similar to this in hopes of capitalizing on the success of I Was A Teenage Werewolf. Among them - I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957), How to Make a Monster (1958), and Blood of Dracula (1957).
"Dr Hugo Wagner: But you're sacrificing a human life! Dr Alfred Brandon: Do you cry over a guinea pig? This boy is a free police case. We're probably saving him from the gas chamber. Dr Hugo Wagner: But the boy is so young, the transformation horrible - Dr Alfred Brandon: And you call yourself a scientist! That's why you've never been more than an assistant."
"Det. Sgt. Donovan: It's not for man to interfere in the ways of God."
