European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 29, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse I a different a howling for the sixth time f you re seeking the greatest achievements of the �?T70s, the howling i is out just in time for you to realize that you Haven to seen the howling 2, Iii 4 or v. You know there Are sequels and then there Are sequels. Some people like the creators of Friday the 13th, make the same movie Over and Over again. Others like the halloween people have to keep inventing new relatives for Michael Meyers to come Back and kill. But the two Guys who own the rights to the howling just make up a whole new movie every time even if the last one was a Complete Turkey that bombed on four continents these Are obviously my kind of Guys. I wonder if they sit in a room somewhere going a i have this great idea for a movie. A Southern Plantation owner Falls in love with one of his Black slaves. What will we Call it of course Why not the howling Vii. In fact i think All movies should have the word howling somewhere in the title a but now Here a the even More amazing news howling i is the Best one they be Ever made you scoff. Maybe you saw the one they made in Australia the one so Boring people in the Philippines watch it. Or How about the one with Sybil Danning where the scariest scene came when she kissed Christopher Lee on the lips or the Agatha Christie Type howling which gathered together the worlds lamest actors in a yugoslav Castle. But this time they finally score. A Freak show Rolls into a Little California town where the Orchards Are drying up and everything a falling apart and about the same time Brendan Hughes struggles into town looking like a Crackhead who has been trying to give himself a haircut. We have a pretty Good idea who the werewolves Are in this picture the Guys with the British accents. While the Freak show is setting up its tents Brendan starts getting a Little Wolf but not before he has fallen in love with the preachers daughter and befriended a deformed Crater face Freak with a pet cat. The Way he turns into a Werewolf is a Little different in every movie and i did no to quite get it in this one but evidently it has something to do with a full Moon a Crystal a family curse and an ancient vampires Devil chant. Anyhow its the old Good Werewolf bad Werewolf Story except in this Case the evil Freak show owner might be a Vampire instead of a Werewolf. In a not completely sure. I really did watch this movie 1 swear. Seven dead bodies. One dead cat. No breasts. Mutants in a Jar. Pickled Giraffe necked lady. Live Chicken chomping. Pickled Penguin girl. Cat throwing. Three Werewolf transformation scenes. Mutilated livestock. Steel Spike torture. Pickled Turtle boy. Sheriff eating. Gratuitous gospel music montage. Gratuitous Carol Lynley looking like she could scare a Buzzard off a meat Wagon. Fang fun. Worm fun. Demon fun.

I thought it was hilarious and it really a hit Home because i divorced their father in january 1970 after 24 years of marriage and everyone a been suffering from Parent and in Law overdose for the past 20 years. Some of the reasons you listed for sons and daughters a a hating their parents done to apply in our situation but on the whole you a hit the Nail on the however i started to have a second thoughts As i imagined their responses such As a we done to hate you and poppy a Etc., Etc., Etc. When i asked one of my sons the most sensitive about Parent child relationship she said a that whole column was a joke it was meant to be funny i done to think you should Send it to any of us kids a that old guilt routine i admitted i was enjoying it from the parents aspect and the children might not a read Quot it that Way. Maybe it was All just a Tongue in Cheeky but id like you to Tell me if possible if you weren to being at least a Little serious in a humorous Way. Is there any Way you could write me or do another column if you receive a lot of a children Quot reactions from your readers because in a not convinced i Send it to them.
