SYNOPSIS: 

You'd think they'd stop making these... But no. In this one, a stranger comes to a small town. Ian is British and at first the townsfolk mistrust him. But he earns their respect but helping rebuild the church and getting the pastor out of his depression. But little do they know Ian is a werewolf, bent on revenging himself against the vampire who killed his family and who heads the freakshow/circus that roams the country.

Something Smithee This Way Comes!

There were also so many boom mic shots, prop failures, and continuitity errors, they could have called it Howling VI: The "Whoops!"ing.

Alligator Boy to the Rescue!
The only thing that can transform Ian into a werewolf when it's not the full moon is Harker's magical crystal and Harker's special incantation... So of course when the vampire Harker is about to tear werewolf Ian a new one for good, the crystal just HAPPENS to drop into Winston's grasp and, after having heard it only once, he HAPPENS to remember the entire spell verbatim...

Leaping Werewolf, Quivering Skeleton
Final Battle! Ian managed to get Harker pinned to the ground, but it's a metal stake. It buys him enough time to realize the sun is up and rip the tent open...to destroy Harker in a welter of Bad SFX.

The Booming
There were SO many boom shots in this film. They Just. Didn't. Care. Here's an egregious example IN THE VERY FIRST SCENE.
