Title: Great horror homage
Product review: The Howling I have always enjoyed because it mixes elements of fear and humour but mainly because it is this massive homage to the early years of horror.Horror collector extraordinaire Forrest J. Ackerman, and Roger Corman are in it and there is even a clip at one point of Lon Chaney Jr., in the Wolfman, and a reference to Wolfman Jack.Also characters in the film are named after horror directors such asGeorge Waggner (Patrick Macnee), who directed Wolf Man, Man Made Monster;Erle Kenton (John Carradine), who directed House of Dracula, House of Frankenstein, The Ghost of Frankenstein, The Cat CreepsLew Landers (Jim Mcrell) who directed The Raven, Return of the Vampire, the Boogie Man Will Get You,As for John Carradine, he appeared in Invisible Man, the Black Cat, Bride of Frankenstein, Mummy's Ghost, House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Bela's last great piece, The Black Sleep.
