The Howling (1981)

Every Friday during Halloween Humpfest is devoted to those Friday Night Fiends. Iconic creatures and monsters who give us the chills and today is the second of three werewolf flicks for the month. Dee Wallace plays “Karen” a TV news anchor who is being stalked by a predatory serial killer. She, quite bravely, attempts to entrap her stalker in the back of a porn store where police barely arrive in time to save her. She’s traumatized into amnesia and this dude is in her dreams, day and night, so her psychiatrist decides to send her and her husband to a retreat with a lot of folksy music. Ok, so it’s inhabited by a commune of werewolf swingers. Sure, they don’t say or show too much swinger stuff but you can tell what’s going on here. It’s kind of a sexy movie. That one lady is in heat. We’re talking Joe Dante’s reverential werewolf horror from 1981, “THE HOWLING” also starring Patrick Macnee, Christopher Stone & Slim Pickens. Yes, Slim Pickens. Imagine him in a werewolf orgy. Maybe he wanted to throw himself on that fire because he couldn’t participate in the werewolf orgy anymore? Happens to the best of us.
