I was browsing through old threads and came upon one "Movies you need to see" from 2006.
One mentioned was the long lost WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK (1975)-
Quote from Peter Johnson:
* * *
 " The movie that fascinates me no end -- and is apparently impossible to find --
is "Werewolf of Woodstock", by the same people who did "Werewolf of Washington" --
  Now, "Werewolf of Washington" you CAN find, quite easily, but my searching for "Werewolf of Woodstock" only turns up tantalizing info., and not the film itself --
  Why is this film interesting?  Well, the people shot it in '69, at the site of the Woodstock festival -- the stage and everything was apparently still standing on Max Yasgur's farm, and they just used what was available.  The second really really interesting thing about it is that it was shot entirely on the then brand-new medium of videotape, which would put it BEFORE Frank Zappa's "200 Motels", which other film histories will tell you is the first commercially distributed film shot entirely on videotape.
  "Werewolf of Woodstock" WAS distributed commercially and shown on big screens in the Maryland, DC, Virginia area, as my wife saw it as a young teenager & alerted me to its existence.  All you can find of it are single-sentence mentions of it in reviews of "Werewolf of Washington."  One of the most obscure damn films out there --  Not counting Lon Chaney's "London After Midnight", which is still lost, along with Willis O'Brien's original killer ant footage from "King Kong" --
peter johnson/denny werewolf"

RC, I actually saw this when it debuted on ABC TV! I think you and I were probably the only two people who saw it - or will admit to it!

A farmer gets upset with all the hippies running around Yasgur's Farm so he sneaks onto the Woodstock stage to sabatoge it. He gets struck by lightning which naturally turns him into a werewolf. I vividly remember the 'dune buggy' chase and wondering "I stayed til the wee hours of the morning for this?".  Buggedout

I think Joni Mitchell originally had a verse about the werewolf in her song 'Woodstock' but it got cut for time...

We came upon a werewolf
He was eatin' up this dog
And I ask 'em I said
Hey, are you trippin'?
And he said "WRRAWWWLL".

Wow, this looks cool. Was this movie made for TV originally? Was it transfered to film for theatrical release like like "Blair Witch?" I remember seeing video shot promos for that one, and was very confused as to how it was going to be shown at the movies. It amazes me that 90% of people still don't know the difference between film and videotape. I can't tell you how many times I have had to explain this to people and they never figure out what I'm talking about.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
