Guest WaveCrest Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 As there seemed some interest in the Howling horror film series I thought I'd start a thread for the films. The first film was shown a few times on ITV3 or ITV4 over the course of a few weeks. Howling II has been shown in the UK recently I'm sure.

ethsnafu Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Howling is a superb film. I'm fairly sure it's the first horror movie I ever saw. Myself and friend found his father's copy of the movie and watched it though the cracks in our fingers. I still don't quite understand what went wrong with the sequels. With a film as well realised as the first and years of years of lycanthropy myths and legends to plunder for inspiration and ideas it all went down-hill from the first sequel. I know we have mentioned Howling III in another thread and though it is marginally better than Howling II it has some of the worst concepts of the entire franchise: the baby werewolf sequence, the ballerina werewolf, werewolf nuns, the werewolf being blown up by bazooka and the zombie werewolf skeleton etc. Just bizarre Eth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless you Richard, I love this movie, one of my favorites I still love the original, I think its the best. The Howling has never been remade has it?

ethsnafu Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I wonder what is happening with the Howling remake. If I recall rightly, it was annouced back in 2009 with a possible release date of Halloween 2010 is that still the target? Eth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are running out of ideas for new films aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
