The Howling (1981)
Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Dante
Starring: Dennis Dugan, Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Robert Picardo, Christopher Stone
Karen, a TV anchor, is 'wired' in order to catch a killer/stalker who is enamored with her. She meets him in a porno booth, where he begins a transformation into a werewolf. The cops arrive in time and shoot him, but not with silver bullets. He will come back 3 days later.
Traumatized and amnesiac about the event, Karen goes to "The Colony" to recuperate.

Charlie Barton: Sorry to scare you, ma'am, thought you was a cowjacker.
Trivia: Many shortcuts had to be taken due to the incredibly tight budget. For example, the infamous final shot of the sex-scene being hand-drawn animation was done because the crew ran out of time and money and couldn't get the shot done in live-action. Additionally, Karen's final transformation was not seen, and her transformed face is only seen in extreme closeup because the effects crew ran out of money and could only afford to make a small puppet head for the scene.
Question: This question applies to both this movie and Howling 4. Was there some kind of hypnosis involved that made the husbands of the protagonist want to stay in the communities after they were bitten by a werewolf?

Answer: Whether it be dog or wolf, the primal instincts take over. Every creature, in nature, has an urge to seek out their own kind. When the husbands were bitten, they are consumed with the desire to hunt, kill and mate.
