- Adaptation Displacement: ... what book?
- Complete Monster: Eddie Quist.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Babel's "Howling" during the end credits of Howling 2 - not that anyone was really paying attention.
- Ear Worm: That eerie tune that plays during Karen's nightmares.
- Ending Fatigue: Howling III has one of the longest and most tedious happy ending out there.
- Depends on if you consider Jerboa transforming on camera during an awards ceremony and doing God only knows what kind of damage a happy ending.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: A woman being stalked by a creepy, possessive, supernatural monster named Edward?
- In The Howling 2, Reb Brown's hammy screaming is exactly like his idiotic screams in Space Mutiny.
- Narm: Karen's werewlf form in the first film looks like a terrier.
- Nightmare Retardant: The Howling III: The Marsupials.
- Goes into Special Effects Failure with some of the werewolf effects in the sequels.
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Howling V: The Rebirth and Howling VI: The Freaks are widely considered a major step-up in quality from the previous three films — though as Obscurus Lupa pointed out, that just makes them So Okay It's Average instead of So Bad It's Good. Either way, it didn't last.
- The Howling Reborn is a mild improvement over The Howling: New Moon Rising. Though, this isn't saying much.
- Ugly Cute: Werewolf-Karen.
