I chose The Howling because it's closest to what I imagine being a werewolf would be like. Painful looking transformations, having people divided on whether they should hide what they are or embrace it and not care who knows about their existence, and just being plain horrifying. It took me awhile to get on board with werewolf films because I've always been more of a vampire girl, but when I started to really appreciate this particular movie monster The Howling stuck out to me as a gritty film (even grittier book, truth be told). Plus, I give the movie props for having one of the best names I've ever heard - Eddie Quist. Say it, it's fun to say.
