Recognise the plot? Werewolf-themed

[Shatnerfan]

Can anyone recognise this from a TV show (maybe an episode of a mystery show)? Houseguests pursue a werewolf one night and cut its foreleg off as it runs away. In the morning a fellow houseguest is in great pain with a swathe of bandages on his arm, part of which is missing.

Sounds like a story from the 'Goosebumps' series, a young boy goes to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle, one of the neighbours convinces him that there are werewolves around and they see werewolves in a nearby cabin, it later turns out that his aunt and uncle were going into the cabin to change into werewolves (their skins were there or something) but it turns out that the girl who befriended him was also a werewolf. Does this ring any bells or have I got a completely different story?

A young boy goes to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle, one of the neighbourhood kids convinces him that there are werewolves living in the neighbourhood. They eventually spot werewolves in a nearby cabin, it later turns out that his aunt & uncle were using it to transform into werewolves, his uncle was injured at one stage in his werewolf form and the injury was still there in his human form.

sorry, I'm about to compound my error, my computer's acting up that's why I've posted two similar answers.

I think this is one of those things that's going to have been in several shows/films. I seem to remember an episode of "Wolf Lake" where something similar happened.

Were the houseguests in a large old house in the English countryside ?
Could be an old Hammer House of Horrors episode ?

I'm not sure we're there yet. Froggequene - can't be that as I've never read a Goosebumps novel. Rinkytink - strong possibility there, definitely a stately house, isolated on a moor, late nineteenth/early twentieth century.

This is a long shot, as I can't remember much about it, but there could well have been a similar scene in "The Beast Must Die" (with Peter Cushing). A millionaire invites a group of people to his isolated estate, and announces that one of them is a werewolf. The film's most famous part was it's 30 second "werewolf break" at the end, which gave the viewers a chance to guess who the werewolf was. It was set in the 70's though.

I've never read the books either, I have however been forced into watching the series more then once, there's also a series called 'Are you afraid of the dark?' where kids tell stories around a campfire. Can you remember if the programme was aimed at kids or adults?

Possibly the TV adaptation of a stephen king novella called "Cycle of the werewolf" which was filmed as (I think) "Silver Bullet"
