Howling III: The Marsupials (1987) was filmed entirely in director Philippe Mora's native Australia. The already low budget film had another problem: the fact Australia didn't really have a seasoned special effects artist scene, unlike the USA, UK or Japan. Australia wouldn't get a heavy FX scene until Farscape was made in the country a decade later!

To realize Howling III's various creatures, Mora turned to Bob McCarron, one of the few notable makeup artists in Australia at the time. McCarron had already provided the elaborate boar puppet and some facial prosthetics for Russell Mulcahy's Razorback (1984).

One highlight of McCarron's work is the 'were-thylacine' (it's clunky I know) that Max Fairchild transforms into. Facial prosthetics were made for Fairchild's early stages of transformation, as well as a rudimentary 'change o head' puppet. The final suit seems to consist of a bodysuit with fur applied, as well as sculpted taloned gloves, and a thylacine mask with mechanisms allowing the jaws to open and close. I love that they remembered to keep the stripes and small ears that the real thylacines had.

Razorback will be released on Blu-ray on March 14 via Scream Factory. The 1984 Australian natural horror film is directed by Russell Mulcahy (Resident Evil: Extinction, Highlander).

Everett De Roche (Road Games, Storm Warning) wrote the script, based on Peter Brennan’s 1981 novel. Gregory Harrison, Arkie Whiteley, Bill Kerr, Chris Haywood, David Argue, and Judy Morris star.

Special features will be announced at a later date.

Somewhere in the Australian Outback, there is a creature that can rip a man in half and destroy a house in seconds: Razorback, a giant freak of nature that's nine-hundred pounds of tusk and muscle which terrorizes an isolated community as violent and primitive as itself.

Pre-order Razorback.

The Cars That Ate Paris (1974)

It's been a bit since B-Movie Enema went down under for some Australian goodness. Let's do that now with Peter Weir's The Cars That Ate People.

Welcome to B-Movie Enema for another review to sate your appetites. So I was trying to think what would make for a good review for this week. I was driving along the roads of New South Wales in Australia and took a detour into the French countryside. I eventually found my way through my European GPS, which was just some road signs, to a strange little village. That’s when it struck me… I want to…

Howling III: The Marsupials

The Howling Franchise Another Howling movie, another production company. This one, representing a strange turn in to Ozploitation, is titled “The Marsupials”…and I don’t recognize a single name. Still, Joe Bob Briggs assures me that this is one of the best ones so I’m going to trust him going in. The movie claims to be based on the book Howling III. First….there’s three howling BOOKS??? and…
