You opened the box, and we came - with answers to the questions that have been submitted all month long!
Of course, we couldn't do it without all of you wonderful fans who sent in questions! Thank you to:
All moons must set, and so too does the pale light of night set on Werewoctober, our month-long look at how the Universal Monster wolf man navigated the horror space all the way on to the screen in our home. We asked our patrons to vote on werewolves in TV and we returned to Sunnydale to discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer (again) with the Season 2 episode "Phases."
We talk about the French farce of the WB's first coming out story, wonder "how long has that been going on," and talk about real torpedoes of dialogue in this episode's script.
He was a staker boy, she said see you later boy.

Werewoctober continues as our month-long look at how the Universal Monster wolf man traveled the world just to find itself in the United Kingdom. That's right - we're joining An American Werewolf In London, the John Landis film from 1981.
There might be too much movie in this movie, but that's no excuse to walk the moors!
(Also, yes we looked up that croque is French for "crunch.")

October - or rather - Werewoctober continues with our deep dive into men who are also sometimes wolves as a month-long look at how the Universal Monster wolf man evolved our understanding of werewolves. But this time, the wolf in question is the Big Bad variety as we talk about the 2013 episodic adventure game series The Wolf Among Us, developed by Telltale Games.
To help us decide what to do first, we're joined again by Derek B. Gayle from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective to talk through storybook characters, noir misogyny, and a complicated comic book series that spawned this game.

Awoo! It's October, which means it is time for another Universal monster deep dive, and this time, we cross the moors and talk transformation, because it is Werewoctober - a celebration of all things wolfy. And there's no better place to start than the 1941 film written by Curt Siodmak and directed by George Waggner, The Wolf Man.
Joining us to talk about this pillar of Universal monsters is a titan in his own right (or own collection, as it may be): Russ from Kaiju ComicCast. We talk about nepotism, the origins of silver in the werewolf mythos, and how the Greeks were always showing feet.

Don't adjust your podcasting devices, this episode is supposed to be black and white, because we are talking about the Season 4 episode of the beloved(?) series Supernatural, "Monster Movie." You should Always Be Worried About Wolves (ABWAB) when navigating this monster-of-the-week episode featuring mummies, Draculas, and re-hymenation.
Beep beep!

We talk about statues and apples and the dead internet as we talk about a horror anthology of comics from Adam Ellis with his 2025 collection Let Me In Your Window.
There's something for everyone, so long as you were in the market for creepy clowns, playlist stalking, or a reconciliation with your childhood self!

We are taking a totally untested podcast cut-off by revisiting one of the subjects that came up on our Hear Me Out episode, the 1992 Ric Burns' documentary The Donner Party.
We discuss filming techniques and why this story from history shares so much with the horror films we've covered on the podcast, not just because of the subject matter, but because of the artistry at play.
Mountainman? Yes please!

It's the last class of the day in Back to Ghoul, our month-long celebration of horror in high schools, and we're firing truth bullets to find out why we're locked inside of the 2010 interactive fiction video game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, developed by Spike Chunsoft.
We bemoan the inclusion of rhythm games as we talk about the first entry in what became an in-depth series about hope and despair, with plenty of teen murder along the way.
No! That's wrong!

Our month long dive into school-based horror - Back to Ghoul - continues as we talk about the Kevin Williamson penned high school horror, The Faculty.
We of course know sugar is a diuretic as we admire paper cutter wielding drug dealers and Bebe Neuwirth sings us a little song.
Everyone is in this movie.
