Day 16: The Howling (1981) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
The Howling (1981)

Hey, it's over the halfway point of this mad endeavor!  

For some reason, most werewolf movies don't really appeal to me, but there are a couple exceptions.  "American Werewolf in London" (1981) is one, and "The Howling" (1981) is another.  Of course, both movies have quite a pedigree, with "American Werewolf in London" directed by John Landis and effects by Rick Baker, while "The Howling" is directed by Joe Dante and effects were by Rob Bottin (best known for "John Carpenter's The Thing"), and was co-written by John Sayles.

The poster for "The Howling" is classic and was in just about every Video Shop in the late 80's.
