This is the only one of the sequels to the Howling that was worth the film it was printed on. The sideshow was a great direction to go -- too bad the next (and hopefully last) sequel, "New Moon Rising," didn't retain the quality of this one. It's also too bad they stuck this under The Howling moniker... I always thought it might've had a better shot if they'd let it stand on its own. Not up to the standards of the original, but still a great little werewolf/vampire/freakshow flick!
