On the Inside


This is Terry Fisher, my favorite character in The Howling. I think Terry would make a wonderful friend-- casually savvy and sharp. Willing to enter creepy cabins inappropriately-- without an invitation-- and snap photos of their interiors. She wears terrific glasses while driving along the California coastline in a scene which I wish I'd captured. I'm not alone in finding Terry to be "very funny and charming." Sadly, in the film she is sacrificed to animal appetites. Or is she a victim of her own curiosity? Or of a reporter's professional ambition? Or does she surrender herself in the name of supportive friendship?
