A comedy variety show TV special featuring Universal Monsters. Originally broadcast on the CBC in 1980.

Peter Cullen's Wolfie — yes, Optimus Prime plays a werewolf.
Costume
Gloriously cheap Universal Monster cosplay on a CBC budget.

Danny Mann
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Peter Cullen recorded this the same year he began voicing Optimus Prime, meaning Wolfie and Optimus technically coexist in his 1980 voice reel.
This special vanished for decades until a CBC archive rescue in 2019 — most Canadians who 'remember' it are probably conflating it with The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
