The Howling (1981)

A new month brings a new series and we could not be more excited to finally shapeshift into FURbruary! We’re celebrating full moons and fangs here on Video Monsters with a month-long cycle of werewolf movies! First up, Nathan and Eric give you a piece of their minds with Joe Dante’s THE HOWLING (1981); a true classic of the genre with remarkable practical effects from Rob Bottin, a cast loaded with legendary character actors, and a clever John Sayles script that subverts werewolf tropes and delivers a story that feels just as socially relevant now as ever. So come on, Bright Boy. Head over to The Other Side with Dick Miller, grab your silver bullets, and join us by the campfire for our discussions of THE HOWLING! Video Monsters is brought to you by the Chattanooga Film Festival and Central Cinema in Knoxville, TN.
