Spooktober: The Ghost Busters in Who's Afraid of The Big Bad Wolf? (1975)

This might explain how Len Weinrib eventually landed a series of his own.

Len guest stars in this episode of Ghost Busters as a werewolf, whose human alter-ego, Harry Albert, is meant to be a parody of Lawrence Talbot, made famous by Lon Chaney, Jr. more than 30 years earlier.

Two years later, of course, Len was back in front of the cameras for the Kroffts' Magic Mongo, which, like Ghost Busters, lasted one season.



Normally, werewolves are portrayed as being mindless savages whose human selves can't remember anything. Harry, unfortunately, didn't pass the IQ test of a human, either.

Rating: B.
