James Kline & J.H. Alison close out Howling October 2025 with the strangest (and slowest melting werewolves ever) — The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare!
The boys break down how this one tries to return to the original book roots but ends up feeling more like a weird South African tax write-off. They talk behind-the-scenes chaos between director John Hough and writer Clive Turner, producer Harry Alan Towers bringing back Steven Lane, and that haunting theme song by Justin Hayward.
In our History Segment, we jump to July 3, 1988, talking wrestling heartbreaks, Wrestling Challenge highlights, and metal legend Slayer dropping South of Heaven.
Then we dive into the full movie — Richard trying to be Rambo (and horny), Marie turning detective, and the dopey Drago werewolves who literally lock themselves in a tower. A weird, wild finish to Howling Month!
