Full Moon Features: Screaming Werewolves Never Bite
When it comes to the vocalizations of werewolves — or wolves in general — one tends to think of them howling or growling.

Three classic werewolf films get the Trailers From Hell! treatment
Nothing underscores the size and depth of the Internet for me like the realization that the cool new thing I just discovered is actually an entrenched and respected phenomenon. Did you know about Trailers From Hell? Were you aware that film director Joe Dante (yes him) and many of his filmmaker pals have been giving trailers for horror, sci-fi and cult movies a paternal sort of MST3K treatment since 2007? (more…)
