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.
