Howard (Uninvited Guest)

Howard is a character in the 1999 thriller movie: Uninvited Guest. He is portrayed by the actor Mel Jackson.

Background
Debbie tells Tammy that he was the object of her affection (even during their childhood). Sometime after this, he reciprocates her feelings and the two got married. Their marriage becomes a rocky one, with Howard losing Debbie's late mother's $10,000 insurance policy while gambling, and the lack of intimacy.

In the Movie
Howard returns to his house and witnesses Debbie in her birthday suit (the latter who wants to celebrate their three year anniversary), he then tells her that him, Mo, and Tre are still working on the script, much to her dissatisfaction. Outside their ideas conflict with Howard's, they then get a ring on the doorbell and they find a stranger claiming car trouble, and they brought him into the house. With Silk's suggestion, the men decide to take a break and play a game of poker, until Debbie and Tammy return.

While trying to find a conclusion for their project, Howard and the other two men get a ring on the doorbell. This time it was a police officer looking for a wanted fugitive; Silk catches them by surprise and holds them at gunpoint. He was later bound and gagged, watching as Debbie and Silk were having sex in the jacuzzi and was spotted, Silk forces everyone downstairs to where Mo, Tre, and the unconscious cop are located. Silk decides to let the married couple speak to each-other one final time, before leaving to get rid of the cop's body and car, Howard becomes outraged by the affair and argues with his wife.

When Debbie and Silk go upstairs, Howard, Mo, and Tre discussed their situation, Howard watched on as Silk kills Mo, and was almost killed himself but was spared when his wife calms the fugitive down. Before long, they suddenly get a ring on the doorbell and they find out it was Tammy looking for Debbie, Howard tells her that his wife wasn't home (although she is seen on the side with Silk pointing at him). Afterwards Howard makes a bet to Silk that if Tre wins, they go free; but if Silk wins, they die; he agrees to it and beats Tre easily until the latter hits him from behind with a block of wood. Tammy comes downstairs and they all watched as Tre was killed.

Howard was freed by Debbie and the two make a plan. Howard comes downstairs after seemingly contacting the police, just then Howard frees Silk and reveals that: he hired Silk to kill Mo and Tre; they met each-other before; and that he still has the $10,000, to which he gives Silk half of. Upstairs in the kitchen Howard waits for Silk to return and tells him that they must stick to the script, they soon get into an altercation after Howard insults him. Shortly after Tammy tries to compliment and sweet-talk Howard, in which he laughs off, before singing about the deaths before going upstairs.
