The Howling

News anchorwoman Karen White nearly gets murdered by a serial killer while trying to get a juicy story. In the aftermath she has nightmares and is in therapy.

After the incident, she also takes some time of that she spends in a small community called The Colony. After getting a warm but weird welcome from the locals it soon turns out that things are not what they seem. First cows get killed by 'wolves' and the thought dead serial killer has also found a home near Karen. He, like everybody else in the community turns out to be a werewolf.

The transformation we witness is very similar (and no less gory) than the one in An American Werewolf in London. With help from a male colleague she escapes the claws of the locals and they all die in a flurry of silver bullets.

Back in the television studio she intends to warn the public of the dangers lurking, much to the annoyance of her producer. In the middle of her announcement, she turns into a werewolf herself in front of the entire live audience. Most of the people watching, however, believe it to be special effects. Karen also dies from a silver bullet, while still on live TV.

The film ends in a diner with the guests discussing the news announcement and one of the Colony's members, that did get away in the end, sitting at the end of the bar asking for a rare burger.
