Townsend Coleman provided Scott Howard's voice for the cartoon spin-off. Howard and his family now lived in the fictional town of Wolverton, and his grandparents were also werewolves who frequently longed for the 'old country'---Transylvania. A younger sister named Lupe ironically longs to be a werewolf. Scott's friends Boof and Stiles (voiced by Happy Days's Don Most) provide a small but dedicated support network. The Howard family also contends with a nosy neighbor named Mrs. Seslick who is always convinced there is something 'weird' over at their house.

The Teen Wolf movie is rumoured to be inspired by the 1957 Michael Landon movie I Was A Teenage Werewolf. Michael Landon played teenager Tony. Tony's uncontrollable temper needs to be stopped. This leads him into the hands of a devious doctor out to make a name for himself. Dr. Brandon decides to use Tony for an experiment and gives his patient a shot that regresses him so far back in time that he turns into a werewolf. But Tony has plans of his own. I Was A Teenage Werewolf was a science fiction film that did really well at the box office.
