Dar "Police Academy" and "Hellraiser" are two series of movies (seven and eight respectively) that collapsed into crap (though in each case the first two were good).Anonymous It's the seventh one that is New Moon Rising. This one came a few years after six, which was The Freaks....and the latest one was Reborn. The 'youth oriented' Howling movie.....It actually could've been worse and in this series that is saying a lot.
