6 unusual facts about "The Howling" series of novels


Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf

Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (original title: Howling II: Stirba – Werewolf Bitch) is a 1985 horror film directed by Philippe Mora, as a sequel to the 1981 film The Howling.

Howling IV: The Original Nightmare

This film's story bears a close resemblance to the plot of the first film, and in fact is a much more faithful adaptation of Gary Brandner's original Howling novel than the original film.

Howling V: The Rebirth

While the plot of this film seems largely derivative of The Beast Must Die, the setting of a large castle (rather than that film's mansion) and the castle's backstory are taken from the narrative of the original The Howling novel, where it served as the backstory of a town named Dradja.

Like most of the other The Howling films, it is only loosely based on "The Howling" series of novels by Gary Brandner.

Howling VI: The Freaks

As with most of The Howling films, it is only very loosely based on the novels by Gary Brandner and not a direct adaptation of any of them.
