Howler



Howler is an American supernatural-fantasy video game series created by Daniel Wright, being published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment since October 30th, 2007.

Synopsis
Set in a town known as Shadow Falls, after being bitten by a wolf, a young adult turns into a werewolf at night and ends up dealing with various threats.

Main

 * Jeffrey Morrison/Howler (voiced by Charlie Schlatter in his human form and Kevin Michael Richardson in his werewolf form) - a shy and well-meaning young adult who can turn into a werewolf at full moon, being out to revert his state while he fights threats whenever he has to.

Supporting

 * Bella Stoker (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - a generally kind vampire who is Howler's love interest, often aiding him.
 * Boris Morrison (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) - Jeffrey's strange father who has a high interest in the supernatural.
 * Lisa Morrison (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee) - Jeffery's mother who is really caring and protective of Jeffrey/Howler.
 * The Ghost Twins, consisting of:
 * George (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - a ghost boy who is usually happy and likes to goof off.
 * Georgia (voiced by Kat Cressida) - a ghost girl who, unlike George, is more serious and is more mature than George. However, even so, she still cares about her brother.
 * Frank N. Stein (voiced by John DiMaggio) - a frankenstein monster who is unintelligent. Despite that, however, he gets random bursts of intelligence. It is later explained by Bella Stoker that he has "multi-intelligence disorder", making him smart at times and stupid at other times.
 * Greg (voiced by Doug Lawrence) - a gargoyle who is immature and is usually a narcissist.
 * Lex the Lynx (vocal effects by Dee Bradley Baker) - a dimwitted lynx who acts like a cat and loves to play. He was rescued by George when a grizzly bear tried to eat him once.
 * Phillip (voiced by Bumper Robinson) - a fun-loving young adult who is one of Howler's friends he hangs out with whenever it's daytime and he's not hanging out with his supernatural friends. However, he and Lacey end up finding out Howler's secret in Howler 3.
 * Lacey (voiced by Mae Whitman) - a studious young adult who is also one of Howler's friends he hangs out with. Just like with Phillip, it's usually whenever it's daytime and Howler's not hanging out with his supernatural friends. However, she and Phillip end up finding out Howler's secret in Howler 3.
 * Wylda (voiced by Kimberly Brooks) - a witch who likes making potions and casting spells, either helping or harming someone. However, whenever her potions/spells harm someone, it's usually unintentional.
 * The Zombie Duo, consisting of:
 * Zachariah (voiced by Keith Ferguson) - a zombie who is the stupid of the duo.

Trivia

 * Bella's name is a pun on the names of the actor, Bela Lugosi and the writer, Bram Stoker.
 * According to Daniel in an interview, Howler started off as a short comic he made back in 1992 when he was in high school to impress his friends, as it was about a werewolf and a vampire (whose names were Wayne and Vicky) capturing humans, only to fail miserably at the end.
 * Fans believed that the characters, Georgia and Lex, were inspired by Rachael and Bulk from Daniel Wright's previous work, Me and a Different Dimension.
