Continuity mistake: When Karen finds Terry's corpse, there is nothing visible on her, and half her body is shown. In the next shot a white blanket is suddenly on her body, all the way up to her neck. (01:03:15)
The Howling (1981)
Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Dante
Starring: Dennis Dugan, Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Robert Picardo, Christopher Stone
Karen, a TV anchor, is 'wired' in order to catch a killer/stalker who is enamored with her. She meets him in a porno booth, where he begins a transformation into a werewolf. The cops arrive in time and shoot him, but not with silver bullets. He will come back 3 days later.
Traumatized and amnesiac about the event, Karen goes to "The Colony" to recuperate.

Trivia: The man who is sitting on the couch with his wife watching the werewolf transformation on the news broadcast is a cameo from Mick Garris, director of such films as "Critters 2" and "Psycho IV: The Beginning." He also directed "Making a Monster Movie: Inside 'The Howling'".
Question: Was it the colony's idea to turn Bill into a werewolf or did Marsha choose to do it of her own free will? I think it's the former because nobody seems to be angry at Marsha for doing it.

Answer: I think they were purposely brought there to both join the colony. Marsha, who desired Bill, was impatient and bit him. As for not being mad at her, the Colony was slowly turning to her leadership, instead of the Doctor's compassion treatment.
