Four Entires in The Howling Series

NOTE: All reviews are out of ****


One horror franchise that that I have no clue how it kept/ keeps inspiring sequels is The Howling. To me the first movie is THE finest werewolf movie ever made. Joe (Piranha, Gremlins) Dante's classic is scary, funny, sexy, awe inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable.

A reporter (the lovely Dee Wallace Stone) barely escapes a serial killer in a porn shop. She is sent to a colony to rehab. But, said colony is overrun by werewolves. Everything about this movie is perfect: the acting, the dialogue, the script, the pacing, the FX. I have discussed this movie multiple times here, so I won't bore you by repeating myself again. Suffice to say that this one of my eleven favorite movies of all time. Sadly after that the series went downhill. ****

That movie was a success, and considered a classic (rightfully so, I may add), so, of course, it spawned a sequel. The Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf is a truly stupid movie. As I am sure you can tell by that ridiculous sub-title. Ben, the brother of Wallace Stone's character finds out that the world is full of werewolves, along with the help of a hunter (Christopher Lee), who convinces him of this, they go after Striba Queen of the Werewolves (yummy Sybil Danning)!

The werewolves look like shit, and it's all pretty empty headed. Worst of all it's a waste of Christoper Lee's immense talent. Hey, everyone needs a paycheck! On the bright side, Sybil Danning, and her boobs, look amazing! Clearly, the filmmakers agree as they loop her nudity over the end credits over and over again. The movie has a cult following due mostly, I would imagine, to this bit of fine knockers. It's really only worth watching for that! Beyond that, though, not so much... *1/2

That said part II was successful on some level (tits!!!), enough so that it inspired more films, though I would never bother to watch them, until I for some godforsaken reason, saw the snoozefest that is The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare. An authoress is sent to a to a town after a nervous breakdown. Problem is there are werewolves there. That ain't gonna cure her nerves. To be honest this movie put me mostly to sleep, and I find it hard to remember anything about it other than it sucked wolf cock. *

But, after reading some good reviews I decided to pay the Howling VI: The Freaks a look. This one takes place in a traveling carnival, it has the werewolf as the hero, who gets hired to be in the freakshow by the owner. Problem is the owner is actually an evil vampire! DOH! In all fairness, this is an enjoyable and fun movie. This one really shocked me, as there is no reason for this movie to be this good. ***

That did not mean that I wanted more of these films to be made, but sadly the series continued. And, I went back to ignoring it. The most recent entry The Howling: Reborn is a reboot of the series, that based on the trailer and what I heard from a friend, seems to be an attempt to make the series into a Twilight type pile of shit. Why?! I am in no rush to see this one, and to be honest, looks worse then the movies that preceded it!

By the way, this came thanks to a suggestion by authoress Staci Wilson, who tweeted to me to do something on The Howling series. When I asked on my Facebook page (which you should totally like as I post exclusive stuff there!) and Twitter, what franchises, scream queens, movies, etc. in the horror genre you wanna see me cover on this blog. Since it's October I really want to post lots of horror stuff. So just let me know. Thank you!

Hot Asian Girl of the Month: Eihi Shiina

It's finally October, my favorite month of the year! Why?Well, causee of all the horror, monster, and scary things love that only happens with the coming of Halloween! So, for this special time of year, I wanted to pick a babe that best represents it. And, so I picked the beautiful horror actress Eihi Shiina!

This Japanese beauty was born on February 3, 1976. She is from Fukouka, Japan.

In 1995, she began to model for Benetton. She represented Japan in Elite Model Look 95. She would go on to do more magazine work.

Her first role came in 1988 in the film Open House. I must admit knowing nothing about this movie. I never even heard of it, until doing the research for this post.

It's her third film, though, that gave her fame. She plays the villain in Audition, perhaps' Takashi Miike's most well known movie. It remains one of his best films and one of my favorite movies. Shiina is awesome in it, eliciting both a submissive and frail beauty and then turning into a psychotic and deadly killer. The movie is undeniably a modern classic, and it truthfully would not have worked as well had it not been for the amazing and beautiful Shiina.

Here is the trailer to this masterpiece:


Although, she would do other films, Shiina's main fame, at least as far as movie audiences outside of Japan go, would come in the form of horror movies. The awesome and fun Tokyo Gore Police, had her in the lead role. And, she may have looked more beautiful than ever! Plus, the movie allowed her to whoop some ass. Which is always hotter, in my book!

Here is the blood drenched trailer to it:


Eihi played the mother (MILF!) of the titular Vampire girl in the silly and over-the-top but very fun and ultra-gory, Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl. It's a cool little flashback where she appears in, and as a fan I was happy to see her in this.

2010 gave us two movies with her. The first was Yakuza flick Outrage where she played a call girl(!!!). The other is Helldriver where she plays the zombie queen. I ain't seen these, but I hope to change that.

Here she talking about Helldriver it at the Japan Society 2011:


Shiina is a stunning and lovely actress with a beautiful face and porcelain skin. She always gives a great performance in any of her roles. She has done a few horror conventions here and there. I hope she does eventually pay one of the cons here in the eastcoast. It would be an honor to meet his amazing horror beauty.
