By the time you are reading this, the event chronicled will likely already be over. I wouldn’t have been able to go anyway. Or, as I am writing this article BEFORE the event is scheduled to take place, it would be more accurate to say that I WON’T be able to attend. Probably those of…

Full Moon and Werewolves
That’s Full Moon ENTERTAINMENT, if you please, Full Moon the production company. (Appropriate title, huh?) If you aren’t familiar with them, you should be. Studio head Charles Band and his crew specialize in low-budget Horror fare. And it is glorious. Glorious! Most famous for the PUPPET MASTER series, Band has done a shit-ton of stuff…
Forget Werewolves or Aliens—Beware the Deer!
Stephen Hawking has predicted that we, human beings, have about a hundred years left to get off planet Earth if we are going to survive as a species. I do hope we’ll be able to manage it in another century or so. There are just too many of us here on this planet. The human…
The Shadow vs. The Hounds of Hillbilly Hell
I have in the past provided commentary concerning my love for old-time radio dramas over at our sister site, vampires.com, and in particular I’ve discussed my affection for the character THE SHADOW. The character’s sinister laugh, his skulking, his ability to appear invisible, and the fact that he was based on Count Dracula were sufficient…
Review: THE HOWLING The Comic Book Issue 1
One of the perks of this gig is that I get to see stuff sometimes before the guy on the street. This past week I got to read the first issue of the new THE HOWLING: REVENGE OF THE WEREWOLF QUEEN comic book series from Space Goat Publishing, and please permit me to give it…
Review: PENNY DREADFUL The Comic Book Issue 2
Maybe Tom King doesn’t quite possess TV series creator John Logan’s ability to craft lyrical, almost poetic dialogue, but his plotting, his handling of the characters, feels exactly the same as we are used to from the television series. This comic truly is the continuation of the same storyline we fell in love with and…
SPLIT Sequel on the Way
If it’s a sequel to BOTH M. Night Shyamalan’s 2016 smash SPLIT and his follow-up to THE SIXTH SENSE (not that this film is connected, that we know of, to these being discussed here, but it’s the one that put Shyamalan on the map, so it merits mentioning) UNBREAKABLE, released in 2000, could we accurately…
An American Neanderthal in California
There’s a new kerfluffle going down in the scientific community. They found some mastodon bones out in California, right? And those bones bear clear signs of having been butchered. That is, the animal that the bones belonged to was butchered, in all likelihood so that it could then be eaten in convenient pieces. Imagine trying…
Hollywood Happenings
We here at werewolves.com were saddened to learn this last week of the passing of director Jonathan Demme at the too-young age of 73. Though Mr. Demme had a lengthy and highly productive career, his name will likely be most familiar to fans of this site for a little film called THE SILENCE OF THE…
Wolfcop’s a-comin’!
There was supposed to be an official WOLFCOP action figure in the works, to be made and released after the success of the first film. I have yet to see such an action figure. What’s the hold up, there, partners? Do youse guys not WANT my money? It also seems that it’s taking an inordinately…
