I'm ALMOST ashamed to say...I was IN 'Werewolf.'
My name is Dean Moody, and I was in this wonderful slice of badness.
I appeared unbilled as Security Guard #2, the guy who, according to the MST3K bots, was "Robert Bork," trying to get caught up on my Penthouses.
Don't believe me? I could probably answer a few questions...I knew Tony Zarindast from his previous "work", films like "Hardcase and Fist," "Hollywood Story," and "Red Room," and knew what a schlockmeister he was--IMHO, the Ed Wood of the 1990s.
As a projectionist in Hollywood, I knew Tony was shooting "Arizona Werewolf," (the original title) and asked if I could play an extra, and he said "sure." I showed up with a security guard uniform at the Glendale Community College campus' old Science building (it's been redone since then) and watched Tony and George Rivera hamfist their way through the lab scene in which Tony gets drugged and infused with the Warwilf funk. They got around to shooting my "scene" around 5am.
So what, you may ask? Well, I can't tell you how proud I am to a) have been in what the IMDB once claimed to be the 12th worst film of ALL TIME, and b) to have been riffed on by the MST 'Bots. That alone was an honor that made up for the fact that I wasn't even paid to be in the film.
So there ya go. Were they serious when they made this movie? Absolutely. What's TZ doing now? I've no idea. I've since shifted careers and have lost touch. No matter, it was a weird experience that I'll never forget and that, apparently, neither will others.
