Werewolf Serenade Howls for National Werewolf Day

Petaluma, CA (January 21, 2024). This National Werewolf Day, February 6, 2025, audiences are invited to embrace their inner beasts with Werewolf Serenade, the knowingly campy, unapologetically low-budget indie dramedy streaming now on Amazon.

Perfectly timed for the werewolf-themed holiday, the Petaluma, CA-made feature spotlights the second collaboration between filmmakers Daedalus Howell and Kary Hess (writer-director-actor and producer/production designer, respectively). Their first film, Pill Head, garnered cult status, and Werewolf Serenade is earning its own following, with the Marin Independent Journal calling it, “…a delightfully disconcerting fusion of cheapo matinee-horror filmmaking with Howell’s highbrow wit and lyrical dialogue…”

After the sudden death of the chair of the parapsychology department at Freestone School of the Arts, burnt-out film professor Peter MacTire is tasked by the dean to finish a mysterious research project—generously funded by enigmatic benefactor Konrad Beissen. With both the school’s future and his marriage to cellist Julia at risk, MacTire accepts the challenge—unaware it will plunge him into an occult conspiracy that will change his life forever.
