I didn't realize until recently that John Sayles wrote the screenplay for the 1981 werewolf movie
The Howling
. Well, he co-wrote it with Terence H. Winkless. It is one of my childhood/early teenage favorites.
Has Sayles ever spoken about his experiences working on
The Howling
? Has he ever mentioned how much of the script was his writing as opposed to Winkless's?

I agree with that. I love "Alligator", "Piranha", and "The Hob68wling".

The final product was mostly Sayles, and he is on the special features of the movie, at least on my edition. Winkless had a version closer to the book (which wasn't any good, the book that is) and Sayles came in and gave it a big make-over for the better. He also plays the doctor in the morgue.
