The Howling

Karyn Beatty suffers a brutal attack and rape in her Los Angeles home, an event that deeply traumatizes her. This horrific experience leads to both a miscarriage and a severe nervous breakdown, impacting her mental health significantly.

In hopes of healing and finding solace, Karyn and her husband Roy decide to leave city life behind. They move to the tranquil mountain village of Drago, believing the peaceful environment will aid Karyn's recovery.

Upon settling in Drago, Karyn begins to hear unsettling howls coming from the woods at night. This mystery deeply troubles her and adds to her already fragile state, leaving her feeling increasingly uneasy in her new surroundings.

As Karyn's mental health struggles, the strain on her marriage becomes evident. Roy dismisses her concerns about the howling noises, believing she is becoming more unstable, which causes a growing rift between them.

Amid the tension at home, Roy starts an affair with Marcia Lura, a local shopkeeper. His betrayal adds further distress to Karyn, compounding her feelings of abandonment and isolation.

On one fateful night, while returning home to Karyn, Roy is viciously attacked by a large black wolf. Although he sustains only a bite, he is unaware that this attack will change his life forever.

Following the wolf bite, Roy becomes gravely ill and remains unaware of the transformation taking place within him. The bite, harboring a dark curse, infects him, leading to a harrowing evolution into a werewolf.

As Roy's condition worsens, Karyn grows increasingly suspicious of her surroundings. She uncovers the shocking truth that the villagers of Drago are actually werewolves, leaving her in a fight for her very survival.

In her desperate bid for safety, Karyn contacts Chris Halloran, her husband's best friend, asking him to come to Drago with silver bullets for protection. This call symbolizes her fight against the supernatural threat she faces.

A fierce battle erupts when Karyn and Chris confront the werewolves attacking the town. In a shocking revelation, Karyn discovers that the black werewolf is actually her husband Roy, now transformed.

During the chaos, Karyn is compelled to shoot the black werewolf, believing it to be a threat. To her horror, she realizes it is Marcia Lura, revealing the extent of the betrayal and danger surrounding her.

As the confrontation continues, a fire ignites in Karyn's woodland home, spreading rapidly through the forest. This catastrophic event engulfs the town of Drago in flames, adding chaos to the already dire situation.

Amidst the chaos of the fire and werewolf attacks, Karyn and Chris manage to flee from Drago. Their escape signifies a narrow reprieve from the horrors they've faced, yet the haunting memories linger.

As Karyn and Chris leave the burning town, the chilling howls of werewolves continue to echo through the woods. This haunting sound serves as a reminder of the terror they narrowly escaped, leaving them with an unsettling sense of dread.
