Directed by Steve Perry and written by Rita Mae Brown (Slumber Party Massacre) and Scott Nimerfro, this feels like James Bond in a horror movie. That makes sense, because Timothy Dalton plays the hero. Or does he?

“This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. And this is your brain after watching Tales from the Crypt! Evening creeps. We interrupt your regularly scheduled terrorvision program to bring you a bit of culture. That’s right kiddies. Tonight instead of rotting your grave matter, I’m going to improve it with a tasteful tale about someone who just can’t fright the feeling. I call it “Werewolf Concerto.””

Lokai (Dalton) and Mr. Hertz (Walter Gotell) are matching wits as werewolf attacks happen at a hotel. Hotel owner Antoine (Dennis Farina) has hired a werewolf hunter to keep his guests safe and we’re to assume that Lokai is that man and that Hertz is the monster. Lokai also falls for a former actress, Janice Baird (Beverly D’Angelo) who — this is Tales from the Crypt so it’s not a spoiler — is more than she seems. Actually, everyone is hiding something in this.

This has a pretty good cast, as Reginald VelJohnson, Charles Fleischer, Lela Rochon and even Wolfgang Puck make appearances.

This is based on “Werewolf Concerto!” which was in Vault of Horror #16. It was written by William Gaines and Al Feldstein and drawn by Johnny Craig. It has Mademoiselle Micheline, a famous piano player, staying in a hotel that is haunted by a werewolf who ends up being the owner. She’s a vampire, so you can guess how this ends.
