Silver Bullet is a 1985 horror film based on the Stephen King novella Cycle of the Werewolf. It stars Gary Busey, Everett McGill, Megan Follows, Corey Haim, Terry O'Quinn, Lawrence Tierney, Bill Smitrovich, Kent Broadhurst, David Hart, and James Gammon. The film is directed by Dan Attias and produced by Dino De Laurentiis.
Jane Coslaw (Follows), the narrator of the film, is the oldest sister in a dysfunctional family of four. Her narration starts in the Spring of 1976 and centers on her strained relationship with her younger, paraplegic brother Marty (Haim) and their parents Nan and Bob. Their rocky relationship changes after a series of murders in their small rural town of Tarker's Mills, Maine.
First, a railroad worker, Arnie Westrum (Gammon), is decapitated by a werewolf after noticing its tracks. The county coroner believes that Arnie passed out on the railroad tracks and was run over by a train. Soon after, a local woman, Stella Randolph (Wendy Walker), prepares to commit suicide because she is unmarried and pregnant. Before she can act, she is murdered. This murder goes unsolved and the townsfolk become worried. The next victim, a redneck named Milt Sturmfuller (James A. Baffico), whose daughter is Marty's girlfriend, hears a racket in his shed. Believing teenagers are making mischief, Sturmfuller plans to scare them off with a shotgun. Instead, he encounters the werewolf and is killed. His family leaves town. Next to die is teenager Brady Kincaid (Joe Wright), Marty's troublemaking best friend, who stayed out too late one night while flying a kite.
The small town of Tarker's Mills was a place that was very peaceful, where nothing extraordinary ever happened until one night when murders began. The townspeople believe it's some maniacal killer on the loose whom they intend to hunt down. Marty, a young handicapped boy, believes the killer is no man at all, but a werewolf. After a run-in with the werewolf, Marty and his sister Jane hunt all over town for the man who is the werewolf.

He comes from deep space
Watches the human race
And he brings the Doomsday
His skin is cold as ice
His soul betrayed by lies
There was no other way
The whole sky… in flames
It’s time to play a game… of death
Here comes his master
He builds the Death Machine
Destroyer of our dreams
We have no chance to win
But there is hope in me
He will cross the Universe
Speeding like a Silver Bullet
He leaves a thousand stars
Behind his back
Watching the galaxy pass by
At speed of light
But now he knows the truth
He knows what he must do
And he fights his Master
His power is amplified
By the Supreme Nulifier
He prevents disaster
You know the reason why
You have to pay the price
No one will ever defy me
This mudball will be now
And forever your home
I leave you here, my son
Together we were strong
[Chorus]
Oh, my God, I can’t stand the pain
I will never be free again
I can’t stand the pain…
Never free again…
Never

Beware of the World-Eater

One day he will come back to Earth
Beware of the World-Eater
-It will never be defeated-
One day he will come back to Earth
