New Moon? More like Old Moon! Zing! Sure the second installment of the Twilight Saga raked in piles of money this past weekend, but even the trendy, emo vampire flick has illustrated that (as Will Smith's character from Men in Black might say) vampires are old and busted, but werewolves are the new hotness. With Universal's Wolfman on the horizon, another project that might benefit from this new trend...
He is the unbearable lightness of being a director, producer, actor, mentor. He is the most effervescent of gentlemen, one who has that gene for making it all look easy.

Remember Corey Feldman taking a gun to his head, for Joe Dante? Well that didn't kill him, but this behind the scenes look at his direct-to-Netflix movie Splatter is killing us. Tony Todd, what are... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
I thought I saw this movie before but it turns out I saw the sequel, The Howling II, which has little to do with this thing. It is a werewolf movie, directed by Joe Dante and starring fairly good cast. Not great, tho worth watching. Okay, worth watching if werewolves are worth watching. I suspect that this movie might have seemed pretty decent when it came out in the early 80s but now its aura of
The werewolf genre should be a no-brainer. The concept of the beast within, of hidden rage and monsters buried inside a man (or woman), tied to the environment or the phases of the moon, is rife with possibility. However, it...
It was back in July of 2006, believe it or not, that a remake of The Howling was first talked about, and now it appears that there's an actual move to get the film made, and remake it certainly sounds like as the title is The Howling Reborn. At the American Film Market a mock-up poster was seen for the film along with a writer/director attached to the project, and the unfortunate news is that it's...

It's called The Howling Reborn and is, supposedly, a sequel or remake or reboot of The Howling, the classic werewolf movie from 1981 that was directed by Joe Dante.

So, it's time for a new Monster Magazine Review, and this time around, it's Castle of Frankenstein #16, an issue I only have in a coverless copy. This is the last monster mag in my collection (as I write this back in October), so after this is done, I may have to come up with something else in its place (perhaps I'll move the Crestwood House Movie Monsters books to here... plus I have another monster...
The Screwfly Solution is an adaptation of a short story by by James Tiptree Jr. (Alice Sheldon's male pen name), directed by Joe Dante ( Gremlins ). The concept behind this episode is one of the more intriguing in the entire Masters of Horror series, but this hour length treatment really doesn't do it quite enough justice. ***SPOILERS REGARDLESS OF GENDER*** A virus has spread across the Earth, starting...
