I just adore B type movies like The Howling series.
I rewatched the whole series with my b/f. We had the time of our lives with it. He had never seen it before and he loved it. He said they were bad movies but the acting and the F/Xs in them were worth it.
I think he fave was the second one. The Howling 2: Your sister is a werewolf.
The third one to him was weird and I don't think he enjoyed that one at all, which is funny cause that is the one that I enjoyed the most.
What does everyone else think of them?

I do not think the first is a bad movie. It is one of my fav horror movies and in my top ten movies of any genre.

I enjoyed the first one a lot, but from then on out it was just lacking something and it began to turn stranger and stranger.

The first one is a pretty good movie. Never seen the rest.

Oh man, the first one is a classic movie for sure but the second is a classic "so bad it's good" movie.
Part 2 is so ridiculous I don't know how anyone can't love it. I mean what was with the closing credits and showing Sybil Danning ripping her top off over and over?? And I can't believe anyone was taking it seriously. And how in the hell did they get Christopher Lee? No matter what he always does his "thing" to perfection. Clearly, he didn't care he was in such a ridiculous movie.
I heard years later when he worked with Joe Dante that he actually apologized to him for working on Part 2.
I think it's my favorite "so bad it's good movie"

The first one is a favorite of mine. The sequels are terrible. I saw the second one not long after it came out. I found it boring and difficult to watch. The third one made me laugh. There was another one, (was it four or five?) that was set at a motel in the in the desert and had motorcycles or something. I don't remember much about other than it was dreadful.

I think people who saw part two when it came out mostly hate it as they were expecting a movie like the first one. I absolutely love the poster for part two though.
I recently bought the original cinema poster for the first movie but I am not working at the moment so cannot afford to get it framed :-(

The thing that got me about the second one was that... Ok, you know how in the first one Dee's character finally turned into the werewolf at the end? Well at the start of the first one, it was a completely new female in her spot and the scene itself was completely different. I understand that it was from the prospective of in front of the camera instead of the on goings in the first film from behind it. Also another thing was all the strange nude parts in it... that ending with the woman stripping too many damn times. That was the part that cracked my b/f up to no end. It also led you with this knowing that there was going to be this big climatic scene with the brother and sister fighting each other and it just turned terrible. It wasn't much of a fight at all. |

If they release a digital version of the book I will buy it as I have never read it. Heard it is very different to the movie though.
