Conception
This film's story bears a close resemblance to the plot of the first film, and in fact is a much more faithful adaptation of Gary Brandner's original Howling novel than the original film. It does, however, differ in some key ways, for example; character names are changed (presumably due to them having been used in the original film) and Max Quist, a rapist who is the catalyst for the events of the original The Howling novel and inspiration for the character of Eddie Quist in the original The Howling film is not featured by any name in this film. Instead, Marie's trauma is left ambiguous, though it is suggested that her visions are supernatural.

Famous quotes containing the word conception:
“As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Into all that becomes something inward for men, an image or conception as such, into all that he makes his own, language has penetrated ... logic must certainly be said to be the supernatural element which permeates every relationship of man to nature, his sensation, intuition, desire, need, instinct, and simply by so doing transforms it into something human, even though only formally human, into ideas and purposes.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
