- Yes I saw the first, and I agree! A must see! Very good effects and
- good story too! How often do you find those two things together in a
- horror movie???
- I also agree ABout the successors of The Howling, Parts
- I,II,III,IV,V all sucked! Someone new directing it or something!!
- I think one of them was about austrailian Werewolves that we
- Marsupial(sp) which means they have a pouch to carry their young
- around. I also think you are right, They do tend to focus upon the
- sexual act alot, between Werewolves and humans! Boy Deranged people
- out there!! Bram Stokes Dracula had some good werewolf scenes,
- including a somewhat cool sex scene between a werewolf and a
- mesmerized(Sp) woman. Cool flick too!!! Oh well, just my opinion!
