The Adventures of a 2-Minute Werewolf, based on an otherwise little-known young adult novel by Gene DeKreese, was adapted for television by Scholastic Productions for the ABC Weekend Special in 1985, marking one of the first attempts by Scholastic in producing children's programming, after breaking ground with NBC's Voyagers! three years earlier.
The majority of the cast consist of relative unknowns. Knowl Johnson, who plays the title role, had been heard in some Berenstain Bears specials prior to this. Melba Moore, Lainie Kazan, and Barrie Youngfellow (It's a Living) co-star.
Conceptually, this would be the formula R. L. Stine would use for Goosebumps, which Scholastic adapted for television a decade later.
No rating. Just a public service.
