Where, oh werewolf (as the Post so imaginatively called it)

Werewolf? There wolf-- at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater, which is hosting an all-night marathon of werewolf flicks for Halloween.
The frighfest kicks off at 9 Saturday night with Joe Dante's "The Howling" (1981) and shuts down with the 5:40 showing the next morning of an erotic number called "The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman" (1971), starring Spanish horror superstar Paul Naschy, who has appeared in a dozen or so werewolf films.
In between, fans will be treated to Neil Jordan's "The Company of Wolves" (1984); Terence Fisher's "The Curse of the Werewolf" (1961); Mike Nichol's "Wolf" (1994), with Jack Nicholson as a book ediotr turned creature; and Rod Daniel's "Teen Wolf" (1985), in which Michael J. Fox discovers that being a werewolf makes him popular on campus.
"It's a good chance to rediscover some classics, and to have a lot of fun," Pioneer programmer Ray Privett says of the marathon.
The Pioneer is on Third Street at AVenue A, in the East Village; (212) 591-0434.

This was in the Post last week, and it sounds really cool, especially if you're one of those people who's into old-fashioned horror movies.
