Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Howling, The Howling II, and The Howling III: Echoes

Howling IV: The Original Nightmare is a 1988 British direct-to-video horror film directed by John Hough from a screenplay by Freddie Rowe and Clive Turner. Starring Romy Windsor, Michael T. Weiss, Antony Hamilton, Susanne Severeid and Lamya Derval, The Original Nightmare is the fourth entry in the series of seven standalone films with loose continuity and is not so much a sequel but rather a more faithful adaptation of Gary Brandner's source novel The Howling (1977).

Production

Harry Alan Towers had approached Howling series producer Steven Lane about a production deal in Africa as part of a tax shelter as many films were doing at the time. When the crew arrived in Africa, Towers had disappeared, much of what Towers had promised was not provided, and instead of a neighboring country, the crew was blindsided with the revelation that shooting would take place in South Africa.
