Big Wolf on Campus is a
TV series created by
Peter Knight and Christopher Briggs. In the lighthearted horror/teen drama tradition of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (but on a lower budget), it is about a teenage boy named Thomas "Tommy" P. Dawkins, who was bitten by a
werewolf during a camping trip in the woods a week before his senior year. After becoming a werewolf he fights against
vampires,
cat women,
ghosts,
zombies, and other supernatural entities to keep his hometown of Pleasantville safe, even though almost everyone in Pleasantville believes that their protector, "
The Pleasantville Werewolf", is dangerous.
