Howlingween 2: Clarry the Clown
Holiday-makers on a beautiful island resort find themselves trapped with a murderous clown.
It boasts a large lagoon pool with beach sand at one end, a three-court tennis facility, a nine-hole golf course and "zero carbon footprint", not to name all the wonders.
Among the arrivals are the Forrans: Thomas, Sandra and seven-year-old daughters Belle and Tracy. The parents wish to put behind them their nightmarish encounters with traders in human organs and a volatile supernatural wolf (Tracy's other father).
The girls enjoy swimming and exploring free-flying butterflies in a fascinating greenhouse.
But not all is as it should be.
In the jungle next to the resort, Professor Wyndham has transplanted Clarry the Crying Clown's brain into a mechanical construct (a humanoid). A year ago, Clarry, a victim of unceasing bullying, gate-crashed a birthday party, killing many.
He was killed – or thought to have been killed – by detective Chester O'Grady, who also happens to be visiting the island.
The professor's goal is to replace soldiers with humanoids, thus saving many young American lives in times of war. He also intends to make a fortune from the US military establishment. When warned about using the brain of a crazed killer, the professor retorts rhetorically: "Would you use Mahatma Gandhi's brain or Martin Luther King's?"
As a subplot, the other-worldly Tracy has negative vibes about tourist Hudson Bayne. She and her half-sister investigate: they suspect he is a serial child-killer. They tell their parents and Thomas rushes to save the latest would-be victim but fails to arrive in time.
It is Clarry the Clown who apparently saves the intended victim by killing Hudson. This action wins him Tracy's loyalty.
But Clarry the Clown is not about saving lives. Soon many more people are killed.
A severe electrical storm destroys the one ferry to the island, leaving tourists and staff trapped – and at the mercy of Clarry.
The survivors’ only hope lies with Tracy, whose other father is a huge spirit wolf (Wolf), but she holds firm to the belief that Clarry kills only "very bad people". Her loyalty reaches extreme lengths when she replies to the sister of an innocent teenager killed by Clarry with "[your brother] must have been ... very bad". Even her human-parents fail to convince her to call forth her savage, but unpredictable, wolf-father.
However, Clarry the Clown makes the mistake of attempting to kill Tracy's human-father, which naturally off-sides her. When the misanthropic and vengeful Wolf materialises, it holds back the humanoid, but it too seeks to exterminate the survivors, for it blames humans for wiping out its pack in Montana in 1891.
It takes some convincing before Tracy focuses her wolf-father's attention on the one enemy, ensuring the climactic battle takes place between supernatural Wolf and humanoid Clarry the Clown.

LATEST NEWS. Today (25 December 2024) I have completed a minor revision of Howlingween 2: Clarry the Clown. About two dozen errors have been spotted and corrected and several inconsistencies discovered and ironed out.
During the holiday season, I'm looking to revise all my 12 screenplays and the one TV/streaming pilot. So far, Howlingween has also undergone revision.
The next up for revision is Howlingween 3: Red River County.
