Reception
Response to this film was highly negative, with the biggest criticisms being its shortage of werewolves and the fact that, when one is seen, it is clearly an actor in a Halloween mask and furry arms. Another criticism was that scenes were taken straight from Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, Howling V: The Rebirth and Howling VI: The Freaks, drawing comparisons to a clip show. The "actors" were locals living in the small desert town where the film was shot, basically playing themselves sitting around telling jokes and drinking beer.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
