Includes amazing, lengthy oral history from the crew who worked behind the scenes on the 1981 Bronx-based cult horror flickWolfen. This alone is probably worth the price of admission.

Two separate charged and cantankerous interviews by Knoxville-based historianEricDawson, stitched together and serving as a swell tribute to the greatPere UbuleaderDavid Thomas(RIP). Ubu forever.”
