Happy Halloween, everyone! It's finally here: Day 13 of 2023's 13 Days of Hallowtober event! Our topic this year has been werewolf films and as such we present a round table discussion of “The Wolf Man” (1941) and its remake, “The Wolfman” (2010). The original is a classic starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Claude Rains. The remake stars Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. Does it hold a candle to its predecessor? Not likely, but it does have its merits and we take a deep dive into both movies and their place in werewolf film history! This is presented as both a video and audio podcast, and both links are on the web page. We showed movie ads in the video, and those will be posted on the web link also. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year's event including stalwarts Spency and My-Kill, as well as Bill Van Ryn, Rod Barnett, Juan Ortiz, and the Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander!!

Day 12: In our penultimate 13 Days of Hallowtober episode for 2023, the Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander, joins Re-Gor to discuss the classic Hammer film, “Curse of the Werewolf,” starring Oliver Reed and directed by Terence Fisher. We noticed many elements borrowed in other films, and discussed what a badass Reed was in real life! Movie ads are also available on the web link! Enjoy!

Day 11: MyKill and the Prince Regent of Electronic Dance Music, Dantes Alexander, join Re-Gor on this episode of our 13 Days of Hallowtober event to discuss the werewolf film “Dog Soldiers” from 2002. Another little seen film, this one is fun, gory, and action-packed! It stars Sean Pertwee, the son of the third Dr. Who, John Pertwee, as well as Kevin McKidd, and was directed by Neil Marshall, the man who brought you the terrifying film, “The Descent” (2005)! No movie ads available, but a listing and local review are on the web page! Enjoy!

Day 10: On this episode of Then Is Now's 2023 event 13 Days of Hallowtober, Juan Ortiz from the B-Movie Cast joins Re-Gor to discuss the Mexican horror classic “House of Terror” aka “La Casa Del Terror” starring comedian Tin-Tan, and surprisingly, Lon Chaney Jr. shows up as the Wolf Man!! An interesting and fun flick, we also discuss the horribly butchered, unintelligible version of the film called “Face of the Screaming Werewolf!” Definitely a fascinating discussion you should check out! And we do have movie ads for different releases of the film on the web page. Enjoy! Juan can be found at: https://www.5thdimensionfilms.net Re-Gor can be found at: http://www.havenpodcasts.com

Day 9: Once again, MyKill and the Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander, join Re-Gor to discuss the relatively new film “Werewolves Within” (2021) on this episode of 2023's 13 Days of Hallowtober event. Starring Sam Richardson and Milana Vayntrub, who you may know as the AT&T girl! The film is a comedy with definite influence from other werewolf features of the past. We were divided on our opinion of it, so check it out! While it did have a theatrical release with great reviews, there are no newspaper ads for it, just listings. But check out our take on this crazy flick!

Day 8: The Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander, joins Re-Gor for this episode of Then Is Now Podcast's annual 13 Days of Hallowtober event for 2023! We take a dive into the 1985 Michael J. Fox comedy, “Teen Wolf.” Critically lambasted, but still a huge hit for its time, this movie really gets better with age and we dive into its themes. Don't forget to take a gander at the movie ads for it on our web page! Enjoy!

Day 7: On this episode of Then Is Now's 13 Days of Hallowtober event for 2023, our werewolf discussion continues with “Cursed” from 2005, directed by horror legend Wes Craven and starring Joshua Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Jesse Eisenberg. The film is kind of a mess and we dive into its troubled production, but also pull out the good things about it. Being from 2005, there were a scant few newspaper movie ads for it, so we posted two as well as a scathing review on the web page. Enjoy! Re-Gor can be found at: http://www.havenpodcasts.com

Day 6: MyKill and Re-Gor tackle the little-known werewolf film “Wolves” (2014) on this episode of Then Is Now's 2023 event, 13 Days of Hallowtober! The movie stars Jason Momoa, Lucas Till, and veteran character actor Stephen McHattie, and is a refreshing direction as it doesn't rely on past films to shape its story. Sadly, because it was 2014, there were no movie ads, just listings, so we posted one that contained the logo, and a press photo from a horrible review. Enjoy!

Day 5: Frequent guest host Spency joins Re-Gor along with the Prince Regent of Electronic Dance Music, Dantes Alexander to discuss another 1981 classic werewolf film, “An American Werewolf in London.” Directed by John Landis and starring David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, and Griffin Dunne, we discuss the influences on the movie from previous werewolf films as well as its subsequent influence on the genre.

On this episode, Chris and Re-Gor talk to director Travis Greene and writer Jonathan Buchanan about their new horror film, “8 Found Dead!” Two couples drive to a secluded house in the desert for a weekend getaway, each with their own baggage, expectations and secrets. Upon their arrival, they are met by two strangers who claim to have rented the house as well. What starts out as a “simple misunderstanding” ends in an all-night bloodbath! Told in 4 parts, with a shuffled timeline, “8 Found Dead” is less of a “whodunit?” and more of a “who the hell survives?”. Join us for a lively discussion about the making of the film and more! 8 Found Dead can be found alive at: Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q69QSCVvm9Q&t=18s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/8founddead/ Travis Greene: https://www.instagram.com/thetravisgreene/ Jonathan Buchanan: https://www.instagram.com/chokingonmedia/ Chris Esper can be found at: http://storiesmotion.com/ Re-Gor can be found at: http://www.havenpodcasts.com
