He was also the director of feature films as well as numerous television programs. While the majority of his directorial work is regarded as minor efforts (Leonard Maltin lists only three of his seven features in his compendium), two of his films, I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) and I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), have gained some critical attention in retrospect.
Gene Fowler Jr. was married to film editor Marjorie Fowler from 1944 until his death. He died in Woodland Hills, California of natural causes.
His brother Will Fowler (1922–2004) was a Hollywood screenwriter.
