Music Issues Delay 'Werewolf' TV Series on DVD
Thursday, August 20, 2009

Horrible news comes in from TV Shows on DVD who report that the highly anticipated Werewolf TV series has been delayed because of music issues. Special effects for transitions into a 7-foot-tall werewolf were done in this series by none other than Rick Baker, who was the man behind the ground-breaking transformations in An American Werewolf in London and was consulted for the makeup effects seen in The Howling. In the series, young Eric has been bitten by a werewolf. However, he's not particularly thrilled by this turn of affairs and wishes to escape his curse. To do so, he must find and kill the founder of his particular werewolf clan. Beyond the break you can see what Brian Ward, one of the DVD producers at Shout! Factory, had to say.

"It is with an absolutely heavy heart that I have to announce the official postponement of Werewolf: The Complete Series. There are a small handful of major music hurdles we still have to overcome. Sadly, unlike some situations, this is not a case where we could simply remove/replace the music, as those audio tracks are married to the dialogue tracks. In order to extract the music, we would literally need to extract the scenes completely. And these are some fairly important scenes that, in some cases, run several minutes.

So we're still working on figuring it all out. It's a great set and I hope to see it released shortly. But it doesn't look like it's going to be on the books for '09.

I would rather wait a little longer to get the full version than a hacked up one released in a hurry.

I wonder if we'll EVER get it? Back in 2002, the first season of Malcolm in the Middle was released on DVD, but the next season was cancelled after too many issues with the music rights. This shit sucks.

I loved this show when it first aired in Australia, but they did not air it all so I missed the end part with Nicholas Remy, though to me Janos Skorzeny was a more horrifying villain. They don't make awesome werewolf stories like this anymore (too much catering to teen metrosexual twilight crap), this is similar to tone and horror to the Howling, but even more sinister. More than anything though, except for seeing all the season in one sitting, I am keen to finally see this in a digital format and not the VHS crap copies floating about (though I have been very happy for their existence).

I guess if I waited this long, I can wait a little longer. Damn shame that a "music issue" is what's holding the release back. I'm sure everyone knows what the real issue is all about.

My friend and film scorer has actually replaced music in a series before. He replaced the music to all of the dvd releases of the series, HUNTER that starred Fred Dryer. I remember him saying how tedious that was, so I can't imagine a "married" dialogue and soundtrack to try to sift through. It's best to wait out the apparent greasing of palms that is going to have to happen.
