Howling III (also known as Howling III: The Marsupials) is a 1987 Australian horror film directed by Philippe Mora. It is the second sequel to the 1981 film The Howling
, and is followed by Howling IV: The Original Nightmare
.

Plot summary

Howling III: The Marsupials is about a scientist mixed up in a cult of Australian werewolves via his love interest. The story surrounding the Australian werewolves is that they are the now extinct tasmanian wolf, a marsupial wolf which was hunted to extinction by Australian farmers to protect their sheep. In the movie the remaining tasmanian wolves learned to turn into people in order to escape, but hope to breed a new generation of were-tasmanian wolves.

Most interesting to the story is the end: The scientist removes the antagonists and obstacles to his union with his werewolf girlfriend, eventually becoming one. One day on live TV, the scientist turns into his wolf form to show the world werewolves do exist. The story then jumps twenty years into the future, to Sydney where a minor character gives a college lecture about the history of werewolf-human relations. It is one of the few werewolf movies where people become aware that they exist, though this story point is forgotten for nearly all the rest of the Howling movies.
