It's a shame that there aren't many good ones. And I'd just like to say that there isn't really anything wrong with a little misogyny. Or a lot of it.

It's the culmination of that whole "repression" theme that runs through the film. Yes, this is the one with that scene.

I remember really enjoying that, the "what is the werewolf's place in the modern world" aspect.

It's practically a spoof. Can't speak for the others. HOWLING II is one of the most spectacularly bad movies ever made. It’s practically a spoof.

They aren't in the same league as "An American Werewolf on London" of course, but they were very tactile and nasty. The subcutaneous bubbling is such a visceral, uncanny effect. I loved it. Are the sequels any good? I think I watched a bunch of them a decade ago, but I can't remember anything about them.
