From director Joe Dante ("Gremlins", "The Burbs", "Innerspace") comes this 1981 werewolf tale. A television newswoman (Dee Wallace, "E.T.") is sent to a remote resort after her near tragic encounter with a serial killer. She begins to realize that the other residents there may not be what they seem.



Trailer:


Many familiar Dante regulars appear in the film.

how did we not have one for this? This one is such a classic! Does anyone own this? I actually don't, but Scream Factory has a blu ray for it!

Barrybgb

I had thought about it for years. I own it.

Melis

It looks like a delight.

GardenSirens

i'll look into getting it so we can discuss it further as it's out of my memory having seen it so many years ago.

Barrybgb

I got it in a two pack with "Carrie". Nice special features too.

Melis

Should I get it?

Barrybgb

I liked it, but it has been a while since I have seen it. I will have to watch it again soon to refresh my memory and give you the verdict.

Melis

I'll look forward to hearing about it.

GardenSirens

I need to go through it again, too.

Barrybgb

One of the better werewolf movies I think.

Melis

Hmm. I wouldn't know.

reason to believe

Did I already write about when I wanted to watch a horror movie after MJ's Thriller video where he turned into a werewolf, so my mom rented me The Howling at 7 or 8 yrs old? Then we started watching it (mom, me, and my even younger brothers!). Mom was ironing and then suddenly this woman at a campfire disrobed naked! And my mom sprung up saying "hey you can't watch this" and stood in front of the tv blocking the screen while me and my brothers laughed?

I can't beleive she assumed this movie was good for the 7 and under crowd.

Barrybgb

I do not remember you sharing that story. Lol. I was watching these movies before 7!

GardenSirens

Awesome story!
