The Howling

 

The calendar calls for a Full Moon, and we celebrate with a special Late Shift rooftop show of Joe Dante's werewolf classic!

 

"Worth your money, if you get it two for one." - Roger Ebert
(We'll do you one better: admission to our show includes one FREE Big Grove beer!)

 

"A brisk chiller that effortlessly revives the prowling-through-misty-forests genre." - Kim Newman, Nightmare Movies

 

"A hip, well-made horror film brimming with film-buff jokes and amazing wolf transformations!" - Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide

 

"Amazing special effects." - Us Magazine

 

"One of the best werewolf movies ever made.  The special effects are brilliant beyond all description." - Los Angeles Magazine

 

From the director of Gremlins and Piranha comes the ultimate masterpiece of primal terror. Filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense, this riveting werewolf tale sinks its teeth into your deepest fears and never lets go.  

 

Severely shaken after a near-fatal encounter with a serial killer, T.V. newscaster Karen White (Dee Wallace, E.T.) takes some much-needed time off.  Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for "the Colony," a secluded retreat where her new neighbors are just a tad too eager to make her feel at home.  Also, there seems to be a bizarre link between her would-be attacker and this supposedly safe have.  And when, after nights of being tormented by savage shrieks and unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest to find answers, she makes a terrifying discovery.  Now she must fight not only for her life... but for her very soul!
