Monster movies had seen their heyday come and go by the time Joe Dante made The Howling in 1981 and it seemed as if everyone had seen everything. However, Dante manages to create a unique entry in the werewolf movie canon with a murder mystery with supernatural creatures in it. The Howling still stands as one of the most inventive and fun horror films from the 1980′s and this stacked to the rafters Blu-ray from Scream Factory is a must have.

1981 was a pretty exciting year for fans of werewolf cinema. Not only did we get John Landis' masterful An American Werewolf in London and a decent adaptation of Whitley Streiber's novel Wolfen, but there was also Joe Dante's The Howling, which is a clever little werewolf flick with a sense of humor that still holds up pretty darn well after all these years. No, the special effects aren't quite as amazing as those found in the John Landis movie, and some of the film's social commentary is stuck firmly in the late 1970s, but given how seldom we get new werewolf flicks these days, there's always something to be said for an old one that can still deliver the goods.

With New Moon's lupine shapeshifters bounding on the big screen and a remake of The Wolfman due next February, lycanthropy is proving popular in Hollywood.
So much so that werewolf franchise The Howling is to sprout fur and fangs once again.
The original 1981 horror flick, directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins, Piranha) and based on Gary Brandner's novel of the same name, spawned six sequels, the most recent in 1995.
Now, producers Joel Kastelberg and Etchie Stroh are relaunching the franchise with the forthcoming The Howling: Reborn, says Variety.
Former studio marketing executive Joe Nimziki will write and make his directing debut on the project, which is slated for a Halloween release next year. Production is scheduled to begin in February.
The original's executive producers Steve Lane and Bob Pringle will return for the remake.

I love werewolves. I think I’ve said that multiple times before. Do I love them enough to watch The Twilight Saga: New Moon? No, because those aren’t exactly werewolves-though they were the only redeemable aspect of that god awful series of books. Now, do I love werewolves enough to watch the planned re-boot of Joe Dante’s 1981 film The Howling? You bet your gut slicing claws I do. This is not to say I don’t have my reservations about any horror film re-boot based on a property from the 1980’s, which I most definitely have a love hate relationship with. But, with all the re-boots, re-makes, re-launches and re-do’s coming at us from that time we call The 80’s, they might as well give werewolves their due side by side with supernatural serial killers and demons.

A new moon is rising on The Howling franchise.
Producers Joel Kastelberg and Etchie Stroh, the latter of whom is associated with Moonstone Entertainment, are planning a re-launch of the werewolf movie franchise entitled The Howling: Reborn. According to Variety, the film is scheduled to begin shooting next February for a Halloween 2010 release.
The 1981 movie The Howling, which was directed by Joe Dante and scripted by John Sayles, is considered one of the better werewolf movies, along with An American Werewolf in London (also slated for a remake). No word if The Howling: Reborn will be a remake or have any ties to the original, which concerned a news anchor (played by Dee Wallace-Stone) whose stalker turns out to be a werewolf, and an isolated country resort full of other shape-shifting creatures.
