When you assemble one of the best casts ever for a horror film and add sensational special effects designed to scare you silly, you have the perfect pic for Howloween. This movie should be required viewing for horror aficionados at least once each time late-October rolls around.
The Howling is creepy, gruesome fun that leaves you wanting more. Unfortunately, the six sequels that followed were far less-than-eye popping.
