The Wolfman’s Got Nards (Again): The Howling (1981) – Xenomania 38

from Xenomania · host Martin Kearns

Wolves don’t just howl at the moon — sometimes they howl for blood. In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns sink their teeth into The Howling (1981), Joe Dante’s cult werewolf classic that reinvented lycanthropy for a new generation of horror fans. From groundbreaking transformation effects to the film’s sly satire of cults, media, and primal hunger, we explore why this bloody, bone-snapping fever dream still claws its way into the nightmares of audiences today. The pack is hungry. And no one survives the howl.
