Celebrate Independence Day with Reverend Lowe!
Nothing says, "I love 'Murca!" than shooting fireworks into the maw of a werewolf.

Horror in the Daylight Scares Us!
What is that thing? Is it a bear? The werewolf from Silver Bullet? Or something more ... sinister?

Episode 5: Cycle of the Werewolf Scares Us
Katya loves loves loves to make fun of Silver Bullet, the movie based on Stephen King's novelette (lovable little word, that) Cycle of the Werewolf which we discussed in Episode 5 (click here to listen), but I love it. It reminds me very strongly of my childhood; also, the little towns of Burgaw and Wilmington, North Carolina, where it was shot are very much like the tiny Eastern Montana town where I grew up in the 1980s.
Okay, so the werewolf looks like a bear. Or sometimes kinda rubbery. But I love him, darn it! (Stephen King referred to him as "ol' shaggy" in the copy of CotW he signed for me when I was 8; be jealous, be very, very jealous.) And no lying, this movie terrified the piss out of me when I was a kid; the scene where the werewolf rips poor Stella Randolph to shreds sent me out of the room every time, for years.
At any rate, I've read several reviews that describe it as an 80s "classic," so I suppose it's earning its keep; as America continues to enjoy 80s nostalgia in the form of shows like Stranger Things and a kind of Stephen King renaissance (check out Gerald's Game on Netflix, once thought to be un-filmable), perhaps more of you kitty-cats will come to appreciate the lovableness of ol' shaggy and the rest of the company of Tarker's Mills, Maine (though it sounds an awful lot like Tarker's Mills, North Carolina).
Here are a few Silver Bullet images I scoured from the internet. Enjoy.
The first edition, from Land of Enchantment Press. Boy, I'd love to get my paws on one of those. (Plus that picture, THAT PICTURE ...)
British edition.
Run, Megan Fellowes, run!
Laser disc!
Stick with playing Buddy Holly, Gary Busey. You're safer that way.
Ack! Werewolf baby!
I think that werewolf on the cover sprang fully formed from The Howling.
Poor Stella.
And here I am with the signed copy of Silver Bullet and Cycle of the Werewolf Stephen King sent to me one winter day in 1987.

Happy Halloween from This Place Scares Us!
Happy Halloween, kitty cats! Here are a few things that scare us, some from past episodes, some from THE FUTURE (!), and some ... eh, they're freaky.
Yick. The poor dead girl from the opening of It Follows, the subject of our premiere episode (click here to listen!). This is only one of many reasons you shouldn't wear high heels to the beach.
Ol' shaggy, the subject of Stephen King's Silver Bullet, who is definitely a werewolf and not some kind of angry hell bear.
Who is this fanged fiend and why isn't the blood of the innocent keeping him forever young? Find out in Episode 7, forthcoming ...
What horrible thing lurks at the threshold of Theodora's bedroom? Ask Shirley Jackson, the mistress of the macabre and the author of The Haunting of Hill House as well as "The Lottery", the subject of Episode 2.
You'll like Mr. Barlow ... and he'll like you. (We'll cover 'Salem's Lot, I promise.)
And a little hint about our forthcoming episode, debuting November 12th ...
Clinkies!

Episode 5: Cycle of the Werewolf Scares Us
Here are a few of the Bernie Wrightson illustrations from Stephen King's Cycle of the Werewolf, which Katya and I discuss in Episode 5. Click on the link to listen!
Above is the illustration for January, the picture I define during the episode as the one that scared the hell out of me the most (they were all pretty freaky, to be honest). Look at the teeth on that thing! It's like it's smiling at you .. right before it decapitates your sorry ass!
April: the chapter that freaked out Ms. Katya so much, and also the one that proves that werewolves are dicks.
August: this is why the law is so ineffective in Tarker's Mills. Shoddy, shoddy work, Constable Neary.
And December: werewolf bum.
Ah, heck. Here's all the illustrations: enjoy!
