“Howl” Harker

The party inside the Villa on the Hill is in full swing. Candles flicker, chandeliers sway, and bats swoop through clouds of confetti as the long-awaited Monster Mash Cabaret reaches its climax. Onstage in the grand salon, the infamous trio “Howl, Rattle and Roll” takes the spotlight — fronted by Wolfgang "Howl" Harker, a werewolf in a glittering tuxedo, backed by skeletal percussionist Rattle and co-singer and dancer Roll, a mummy still half-wrapped in bandages. What follows is chaos. The werewolf howls instead of singing, the mummy fumbles with a papyrus lyric sheet, and the skeleton keeps losing the sticks. The audience of vampires, ghosts, and ghouls exchange awkward looks — then burst into hysterical laughter as Wolfgang’s final note shatters a crystal punch bowl. With dramatic flair, he bows deeply, trips on his tail, and crashes into a candelabrum. Rising again, he points at you, eyes gleaming.
