A selection of possibly never before seen behind the scenes images kindly provided to me by Bob McCarron of his work on Philippe Mora's Howling III: The Marsupials (1987)!

Here are photos of Max Fairchild in the prosthetics and mask as Thylo, the were-thylacine, as well as photos of the mask being sculpted and a shot showing how the closeup headshots were done; via puppets!

Small acrylic painting of Jerboa Jerboa from The Howling 3. We only see her were-thylacine form briefly, but I wanted to paint my interpretation based on what we do get to see. I also wanted to paint some pretty gum trees, one of my favorite things about Australia.

The Howling 3 is one of my faves and I love Philippe Mora's sense of humor and his approach to the genre.

Howling III: The Marsupials (1987, dir. Phillipe Mora)

[ognimdo2002]

Luison (Lupoherperops malumadvena) - Dark Displeasure

“ He is one of the last surviving metatherians and the seventh son of an evil god born during the age of Holocene. With the blessings, the gliding but lethal weapon against all, even his kin, warned the Guarani people of Paraguay that this animal was the only real werewolf—that is, a marsupial. ”

– Persephone

Luison or Lobison (Lupoherperops malumadvena) is the one of the mythical creatures and a guardian introduced in Worldcraft: My Last Blessings and Weather Dragons: The Second Gift.

Etymology

The name wolf, Lobisomem, more literally wolf-man.

Physical Appearance

Luison is a bipedal, ugly metatherian that resembles a werewolf, with very sharp furs and quills on its tail, long claws on its hands like anteaters, a rib-like belly, long digitigrade legs, dark gray to black fur, dog-headed, wolf-shaped ears, an opossum nose, a patagium between elbows and knees, and even reddish brown eyes.

Luison is the best example of a mythical creature that is mistaken to be mixed with a maned wolf, opossum, anteater, monito del monte, flying squirrel, porcupine, and werewolf altogether.

Abilities

Luison is a dark element of the Horatio continent on planet Reinachos. Luison unleashes uncontrollable dark energy from hands or mouth, including rattling around the tail to release energy to shoot and explodes on impact. Luison is a very unlikely monster that uses their patagium that glides and these two strong legs to double jump or even jump on water or lava, unharmed, shoots itself, and dives or swoops while gliding.

Without any dark energy, the Luison releases a foul smell in its mouth that causes stun and nausea. These two claws are causing sundering, breaking through armor of any kind, and piercing through the body. These quills are very sharp and cause withering and poison.

Weather Phenomenon

Darkness / 3 Days of Darkness: Luison is the only metatherian that possesses a dark element; it can howl itself and initiate the darkness at midnight or in very dark clouds that increase dark element attributes.

Behavior

Luison is very elusive and changes their fourteen behaviors, which means between the representative of the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins. These seven pairs of alignments are based on their own brains between left and right ideas for switching this behavior as a strategy. Considered the only elemental and the most intelligent of all them.

Distribution and Habitat

Luison was a native species in Paraguay's dark forests. Another population of Luison was found in Corazones Labyrinth Forest, the abandoned civilization with kauri and monkey puzzle trees planted by Monegasques, Spaniards, and Guaranis before the event.

Movement Pattern: Nomadic

Individual Type: Solo

Population Trend: Stable

Population: 3,000

Locomotion: Airborne

Habitat: All

Earth: Argentina; Brazil; Colombia; Paraguay; Uruguay

Reinachos: Ascunsia

Lore

Luison was considered extinct by the Ascunsian Empire before the event due to the eradication of Jews and others under Roxana Maldado, the last remaining fallen angel. Luison is finally discovered as two individuals, while a few individuals remain hidden in the habitat called Corazones Labyrinth Forest, the religious place for the Guarani people of South America under the Romanians and Portuguese.

Mothsol also becomes the companion of metatherian Luison of Paraguay; however, they are widely regarded as polar opposites, with rivals and foes. Because Mothsol comes from Southeast Asia, which is part of Eurasia, and Luison is from South America, they were not present.

For example, at the Isu Temple in Palestine, an older Luison and an older Mothsol were competitors who fled as wild animals. In Israel, people believe that Mothsol promotes awakenings and pleasant dreams, whereas Luison causes nightmares and trauma. According to the Abrahamic religion and pre-Islamic cultures, both Luison and Mothsol are God's creations and servants.

Back to the history before the 21st century and beyond, the Luison was created by Chang'e and Quetzalcoatl after the moon rabbit and considered not created by the god Tau and his wife Kerara, but Tupan, a god in Guarani mythology, wants to evolve the last remaining metatherian resembles a werewolf from Europe into his own, but the first name of this species was forbid. Due to many loanwords from Spanish to Guarani, the Amerindian language was a spoken language and didn't have its own script or records; thus, no written record of his original name would have been made.

Luison is the deadliest assassin and the most intelligent of all elements under Saint Dymphna, the poetess and princess who commands similar to Welsh, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Abenaki, Shishalh, and Guarani mythologies: Y Ddraig Goch, Cadborosaurus, Behemoth, Wuchowsen, Mothsol, and Luison. Dymphna, as Nicolette Andreponte of France, for simply calming Luison and the rest of them before joining forces with Mothsol larvae. Luison has always been a bouncer against Isabella Morrison and her allies, Archibald Buenaventura (or short name Archie) and Nicolette Jorelavo.

Luison is the convergent evolution of wulvers and werewolves, very unmatched to them and very unique to Luisõ due to seven numbers. It has a bad luck number by some populations, but it was a very lucky number when tamed or trusted as a seven number.

Poll: Horror Movie Rentals III: The Weird One

It's the weekend again and sure enough you're back in a video rental store. That strange aura from before still lingers. In fact, it feels much stronger now.

For one, the layout of the store is different. And, while you weren't really paying attention, that group of teens out front might have had super powers.

Plus, the clerk keeps throwing random shit at your head in a very exaggerated fashion.

It's all very weird. And you should probably leave.

But first...

Nine VHS tapes sit before you, ready for renting. Maybe you feel like revisiting a beloved favorite. Maybe you want to check out something you've never seen before...

You take note that all of these are the third in their respective series.

Part 1, Part 2: Return of the VHS

A great film about “werelacines” for those into lycanthropy and bad horror!

Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1988)

Howling IV: The Original Nightmare has a multitude of problems. It'll take some explaining for you to truly understand why this fourth chapter in the franchise doesn't work so let's just jump right into it.

Marie (Romy Windsor) and her husband, Richard (Michael T. Weiss), have retreated to a quiet cabin in the woods near the small town of Drago. There, she is plagued by a strange howling in the woods and bizarre visions. As these cause increased strain on her marriage, Marie joins forces with Janice (Susanne Severeid) to investigate Drago's mystery.

In many ways, The Original Nightmare is better than the second or third films but really, this makes it "worse". The other two were so bad they were hilarious. This is a profoundly mediocre werewolf movie... who assumes you don't know werewolves will make an appearance. It's a more faithful adaptation Gary Brander's novel than we saw in 1981 but who cares? No one watching The Howling IV hasn't seen The Howling 1.

Normally I'd feel conflicted about revealing the presence of werewolves but it's so obvious here you can't miss it. Look at the DVD cover. What do you see? Even half a Hardy Boy could figure out lycanthropy is afoot meaning you'll be bored up until the midway point, waiting for the protagonist to catch up with you.

Setting this flaw aside, this just isn't good. The performances from the side characters are universally poor and not even in an entertaining way. The makeup and special effects aren't impressive. While the wolfman in "The Howling VI: The Freaks" looked more caveman or sasquatch-ish than anything else, here they look like people with bad hair, beards, and fangs. Nothing exciting.

None of these problems are as bad as the editing. This is one of the worst cut movies I've seen in a while. It's so frantic you often have difficulty understanding what's going on. Then, the next shot will be interminable. This isn't a particularly scary movie. More attention is dedicated to the atmosphere and the mystery but the one scare it could've had is completely ruined by John Hough's piss-poor direction.

Only two things about this movie are good. The first is that conceptually, the story is interesting. I like the idea of the werewolves being a revelation instead of the focus of the story. It's been done before and better - in this franchise - but it's telling that someone really thought it was THAT good an idea. The second is that while most of the werewolves don't look good, and are sometimes little more than black dogs running around with special effects added to give them glowing red eyes, there is one awesome transformation scene. As the person suffers what must be one of the most painful, traumatic and maddening transformations from human to werewolf, you'll be pleased. I wish someone would take that scene and rip it off.

The Howling IV is boring. Sometimes you'll be jolted awake by the awful editing or bad but there's nothing special here. Even if this wasn't tied to a franchise that gives away the biggest twist and ending away immediately, this wouldn't be a very good movie. There's a reason the box set I bought included Howling 3: The Marsupials, The Howling 5, and The Howling 6: The Freaks. It might not be the worst the franchise has to offer, but it certainly is the least appealing chapter. (On DVD, July 24, 2015)

The Howling (1981)

We’ve never hidden the fact that we aren’t fans of The Howling 3: The Marsupials; the only movie that owes us popcorn. We decided to go back to the start of the franchise and see if 3 is a weak entry of if the entire franchise was just awful. You’ll need to join us to hear our verdict. You can listen here.
