Howling IV: The Original Nightmare is a 1988 British[1] direct-to-video horror film directed by John Hough from a screenplay by Freddie Rowe and Clive Turner.[2] Starring Romy Windsor, Michael T. Weiss, Antony Hamilton, Susanne Severeid and Lamya Derval, The Original Nightmare is the fourth entry in the series of seven standalone films with loose continuity and is not so much a sequel but rather a more faithful adaptation of Gary Brandner's source novel The Howling (1977).[citation needed]
International Video Entertainment (IVE) released this film directly to home video in 1988.[3] Platinum Disc Corporation (now Echo Bridge Home Entertainment) released it on DVD in 2004 and it has been released numerous times since. It was filmed on location in South Africa.
