The Most Unusual Werewolf Film Ever? A Look at Howling 3: The Marsupials

A Dingo Ate My Movie!

This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into "Howling 3: The Marsupials," a film that stands out starkly from its predecessors in the Howling series. Directed by Philippe Mora, this instalment takes a wild departure from the traditional werewolf lore, introducing viewers to a uniquely Australian twist: marsupial werewolves. Unlike the darker tones of the first two films, "Howling 3" ventures into more eccentric and campy territory, blending horror with elements of comedy and satire.

The film's setting in Australia, along with its use of marsupial werewolves, injects a fresh and intriguing layer to the werewolf mythology, making it a fascinating case study for fans of the genre. From Test Pattern, Jacob joins us to unpack the creativity, oddities, and cultural context that make "Howling 3: The Marsupials" such an unforgettable cinematic experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or new to the marsupial madness, this episode will offer some insightful perspectives on one of the most unconventional entries in the werewolf genre.
