The Howling

Joe Dante works his magic in this fantastic werewolf film. Dee Wallace stars as a telejournalist who stumbles into the world of the lycanthrope with horrible results. Rich Baker and Rob Bottin team up in the special effects department to give us some mighty fine transformations second only to AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Dante also drags out a wonderful assortment of horror veterans including Patrick Macnee, John Carradine, Kevin McCarthy, Robert Picardo, Slim Pickens, Dick Miller and even throws in a cameo from Forrest J. Ackerman and his own mentor Roger Corman. All around great fun...make sure you stick around to the final scene.
