The Howling, based on the novel by Gary Brandner, is directed by Joe Dante (Inner-space, The Gremlins). This is believed by the filmmakers to be the ture story of werewolves, who like witches, are shape-changers. These creatures live among normal society as average human beings...until seized by violent transformations that turn them into savage animals alien to human understanding. This is the story of an investigative reporter’s run-in with a colony of werewolves.
