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:
“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)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
