HMPOD.com Podcast 52 — Abort The Howling 2
Werewolves with zits
Good day to everyone out there in Cyberland! We here at The Horror Movie Show have begun the year with a bang (we exploded our old accountant; he’d been taking a third smoke break so he had to go) and a series of devastating karate chops that effectively eliminated all the deadwood in our magnificently resplendent offices here on the penthouse floors of the fabulous Splutt Building, located closer than you think.
As to the movies reviewed this week by Mark & Jerry, your savage & unnatural hosts, we have a rather mixed or mongrel collection. We begin with The Howling: Reborn. This flick is aimed at the same youngsters and multi-feline owners as the Twilight series, so be warned. The made-for-TV film Doomsday Prophecy is discussed. And we end this episode with a review of Dog Soldiers, an excellent werewolf movie from 2002, recommended by a listener of our very own Horror Movie Show (thanks!). Hope that’s meaty enough for you all to bury your gorey fangs.

Just a correction, Picnicface is an outfit from Halifax, Nova Scotia not TO. And The Howling has nothing to do with Stephen King. I think you are thinking of Cycle of the Werewolf
Thank you, Carl. Picnicface consists of Easterners (that means anyone east of Toronto). Canada also has Westerners (anyone west of Toronto). Even though I am not a Torontonian, I am Canadian and subject to the Torontocentric bias. I live in the great swirlpool that circles the centre of Canada. This is because most Canucks know Toronto sucks.
As for who wrote the original story on which The Howling flick was based, that novelist is Gary Brandner. The screenplay for The Howling (1981) was John Sayles and Terence H. Winkless. Sayles has gone on to be one of the best filmmakers extant, with Eight Men Out being a favourite of mine.
Thanks for the note!
