Oh wow, these things are real after all
I just watched the howling special edition dvd (the kinowelt R2 version) and there was a documentary where Joe Dante mentions how there were five or so howling sequels and one of them starred Christopher Lee.
I thought he was joking! I was so sure about it too "Christopher Lee wouldn't be in a movie like that" I thought.
But sure enough, the damn things are real, never would have thought it. Oh well, now I have to get them all I guess. ;)
