Terror has a name and it's The Howling! This collection of 4 entries in the Howling franchise will deliver you straight into the heart of fear…
The Marsupials:
The Howling III (1987) In true ozploitation style, this cult sequel to Joe Dante's original horror blockbuster sees a mutant stream of werewolf rampaging around Australia, evolved from now-extinct marsupial wolves. Professor Harry Bechmeyer (Barry Otto, Bliss) is studying the new species and soon stumbles on a she-werewolf, Jerboa (Imogen Annesley, Playing Beatty Bow).
Found to be carrying a werewolf child, Jerboa is confined in a hospital to ward against further breeding. But the professor has fallen in love and takes flight with the beautiful beast after she is targeted by a gang of army hunters intent on wiping out the race of rabid marsupials. With lupine members of the girl's tribe disguising themselves as nuns in an effort to rescue Jerboa, this comedy horror classic builds to a gruesome and hilarious climax!
Howling IV:
The Original Nightmare (1988) Haunted by a series of unnatural happenings, a young and beautiful writer, Marie Adams (Romy Windsor, Face/Off), heads for the sanctuary of a rural hideout in a desperate bid to regain her sanity – only to find horror far more deadly than her own deranged imaginings.
From the depths of the forest, he's calling, waiting for the full moon, to hunt Marie down… to take her on a terrifying journey into the gaping jaws of death. As night descends, the Howling rises again to shatter the stillness of the night.
Howling V:
The Rebirth (1989)A mysteriously selected group of people are stranded in a castle whose walls are the only witness to an ancient secret.

Howling VI:
The Freaks (1991)Ian Richards (Brendan Hughes, Return to Horror High) is a mysterious drifter who wanders into Canton Bluff, a small, desolate town in Southern California.
