'Howling VI: The Freaks' (1991) - Hope Perello.

The sixth, surprisingly robust instalment of the fecund lycanthrope franchise actively maintains a loyal following due to it being executed with more class than one might initially expect! Rolling ostentatiously into town not long after the arrival of moody, taciturn loner, Ian (Brendan Hughes), the flamboyant carnival radiates an irresistible fascination to the goodly folk of Canton Bluff. This garish cavalcade of genetic curiosities is managed by the theatrical, darkly charismatic R.B Harker (Bruce Payne). His movable feast of fabulous freaks charms the locals, the noisome ballyhoo obscures, Harker's monstrous secret! When locals inexplicably vanish, anxious sheriff, Fuller (Gary Cervantes) disturbingly discovers that the urbane, Harker regularly moonlights as a spectacularly sinister-looking vampire!

The kooky carny atmosphere is energetically complemented by its amusingly eccentric characters, with devilishly erudite, Bruce Payne essaying one of his more mesmerizing villains. Hope Perello clearly has an affinity for off-beat horror tropes, and his 'Howling VI: The Freaks' bounds along amenably at a cracking pace, and the fabulously fang-tastic practical FX are very special indeed. The toothsome Vampire Vs. werewolf climax should make any avid monster maniac salivate! Fans of indie horror hero, Charles Band should appreciate the lurid lycanthropic lunacy of, Perello's lusty B-horror gem 'Howling VI: The Freaks'. Frankly, as modestly budgeted Part 6's to increasingly long in the tooth fright franchises go, this one 'aint the howler you might expect it to be!
