Limited Edition Photograph (learn more)
In stock
A sensational publicity portrait of Elisabeth Brooks as Marsha Quist captures one of THE HOWLING’s most seductive and dangerous characters with her razor-sharp werewolf fangs fully revealed. The striking contrast between Brooks’ glamorous appearance and unmistakably predatory smile creates an exceptionally memorable image from Joe Dante’s landmark 1981 werewolf film.
Against a beautifully simple background, Brooks dominates the composition in a sleek black costume, long dark hair framing her face as she bares her prominent fangs directly toward the camera. Her dramatic eye makeup and distinctive tooth-like pendant necklace heighten the image’s exotic quality, while the uncluttered setting gives the photograph the polished character of a classic studio glamour portrait—until the fangs completely change what we are seeing.
Marsha Quist – Beauty with a Predatory Edge
Directed by Joe Dante, THE HOWLING (1981) stars Elisabeth Brooks as Marsha Quist, one of the werewolf inhabitants of the Colony and sister of Eddie Quist. Brooks’ performance gives Marsha a distinctive place within the film: confident, sensual and openly accepting of the predatory nature that Dr. George Waggner attempts to suppress within his community.
That characterization makes this publicity portrait particularly effective. Rather than presenting the elaborate full-creature transformations associated with Rob Bottin’s celebrated effects work, the photograph retains Brooks’ recognizable human appearance while introducing only the essential evidence of the monster—the exposed fangs.
The result captures one of THE HOWLING’s most intriguing ideas in a single frame: the werewolf does not always have to look monstrous to be dangerous.
Brooks became particularly associated with Marsha Quist, and the character remains one of her best-remembered screen roles. THE HOWLING itself emerged as one of the defining films of the remarkable 1981 revival of werewolf cinema, with its makeup effects receiving particular attention and its success helping advance Joe Dante’s career.
For a collection exploring THE HOWLING beyond its celebrated transformation effects, this portrait adds something distinctly different: the human face of the Colony, photographed with the elegance of a glamour image but punctured by the unmistakable visual signature of the werewolf.
Preserved within the KissMeMonster photographic archive, this captivating image has been carefully restored to retain the richness of Brooks’ dark hair and costume, the warm complexion and background tones, and the crisp detail of those extraordinary fangs—reviving the distinctive glamour and menace of one of THE HOWLING’s most memorable characters.
