This will be another essential BD for me. THE HOWLING is my all time favourite werewolf movie

As if the film title and the claws aren't enough of a hint... crud drawn on fangs should do it!

Does anyone know if there's a version with the uncut extras knocking about?
I mean the 'making of' extras with the bogus porn film that you see near the start in the peepshow booth. Hope that makes sense!

I have the Danish 2-disc dvd which contains the 'Fake porn movie' footage which the BBFC rejected on the UK dvd from Momentum.This remains one of my favourite horror movies ever.

Is that danish release still around or out of print Mark?

You can see a comparison of THE HOWLING DVD versions here

BTW, the first 3,000 pressings of the German Kinowelt 2 disc DVD release included the footage as an extra (2 scenes - 3.55mins), after which the footage was pulled (probably so the discs could be sold in other countries).

These images below all show 2-disc DVD versions, apparently with the fake scenes as extras.

Edit: They all appear to be Kinowelt releases, so maybe they have reinstated the footage?
