Movie Quote(s):
- Bookstore owner: [On how to kill werewolves] Silver bullets or fire, that's the only way to get rid of the damn things. They're worse than cock-a-roaches.
-
Chris: Eddie? Eddie Quist: You know me, but I don't know you. Why is that?
-
Eddie Quist: Don't you know anything?
-
Eddie Quist: I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind. I trusted you, Karen. [He proceeds to pull a piece of brain out of a bullet hole in his head]
-
Erle Kenton: You can't tame what's meant to be wild, doc. It just ain't natural.
Movie Trivia:
- The following characters are named after werewolf movie directors: George Waggner, Roy William Neill, Terence Fisher, Freddie Francis, Erle C. Kenton, Sam Newfield, Charles Barton, Jerry Warren, Lew Landers, and Jacinto Molina (an alternate name used by Paul Naschy).
-
In the scene where Terri calls Christopher from Dr. Waggner's office, we see a picture of Lon Chaney Jr. on the wall. Chaney played the Wolf Man in five movies (The Wolf Man (1941), Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), House of Frankenstein (1944), House of Dracula (1945) and Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). He is the only actor that played a Universal monster in the original film and all of its sequels.
-
To add to the hidden puns throughout this film, there is a book placed near a phone during one scene: Allen Ginsberg's "Howl".
-
This film and Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1988) (V) are both based on the same novel by Gary Brandner. Interestingly, "Howling IV: The Original Nightmare" actually represents the more faithful adaptation of the book than this film does.
-
In line with other "wolf" puns in the film, the book Bill is reading in bed is "You Can't Go Home Again" by Thomas Wolfe,
