Silver Bullet: The Monster Movie With a Big Heart (and Bigger Teeth)!

1985's Silver Bullet is a Stephen King adaptation that blends small-town Americana with classic monster horror—specifically, werewolves. Set in a quiet town plagued by a series of gruesome murders, the film follows young Marty, a wheelchair-bound boy with a rebellious streak, who suspects something inhuman is behind the killings. With the help of his protective sister and their boozy-but-loving Uncle Red (played memorably by Gary Busey), Marty uncovers the horrifying truth and takes matters into his own hands. Part creature feature, part coming-of-age tale, Silver Bullet captures a rare mix of suspense, heart, and old-school horror charm.

Though it may not have the prestige of other King adaptations, Silver Bullet holds a special place in horror history. It's a story about courage in the face of disbelief, and how even the most unlikely heroes—like a kid in a souped-up wheelchair—can stand up to the darkness. With its blend of 1980s atmosphere, practical effects, and surprisingly emotional beats, the film still resonates with fans who grew up renting it on VHS or catching it on late-night TV. It’s a werewolf tale with bite, and plenty of soul.
