	Movies - Big Wolf on Campus

Big Wolf on Campus is a TV series created by Christopher Briggs and Peter Knight. In the lighthearted horror/teen drama tradition of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(but on a lower budget), it is about a teenaged kid named Thomas "Tommy" P. Dawkins, who was bitten by a werewolf during a camping trip in the woods; after becoming a werewolf he fights against vampires, cat women, ghosts, zombies, etc. to keep his hometown of Pleasantville safe - though almost everyone in Pleasantville believes that "The Pleasantville Werewolf" is dangerous.

Tommy Dawkins has two friends who know his secret: Merton J. Dingle, a goth with an encyclopedic knowledge of just about every supernatural creature Tommy needs him to know about, and Lori Baxter, who knows martial arts and wrestling moves. Many episodes satirise popular films or tv shows, and Merton usualy makes the connection, but when asked "what happened" Merton begins to talk about the creator and popularity of the movie, rather than what happened in the movie itself - A habit so annoying even a mind controlled, almost zombie-like Tommy reacted as he usually does... Which is to smack Merton around the head and state "In the film". Big Wolf On Campus has numerous pop culture references which are obviously intended for an audience older than the typical kid show. This is shown when Corey Haim guest stars in the episode Blaim It on the Haim. Danny Smith who plays Merton J. Dingle added a lot of his own catch phrases into the role. Danny Smith starred in an episode of The Price Is Right and is the lead singer of the semi-successful band The City Drive, with influences as eclectic as Blur and David Bowie.
