#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY: When Sir Christopher Lee relocated to US to
avoid typecasting in the late 70's he appeared in a number of different
genres of films comedy's, musicals . . . He did however make a few horror
films during this period..Here is one of the more stranger ones, 'The Howling 2' . . . a sequel to Joe Dante's 1981 werewolf classic 'The Howling'!
WHEN LEE WORKED with Dante in 1991 in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, one of the first things he did was apologize to director Joe Dante, for being in this film! Here is a fun clip of the finale of the film with Lee's confronting the werewolf Stirba. Are you a fan of this rather 'out there' film?
