Are classic horror films always as thrilling as we remember? In our latest episode, we explore the nature of fear, character dynamics, and the lore surrounding werewolves through the lens of Joe Dante's "The Howling." This 1981 film attempts to carve out a place in the horror genre with the franchise it spawned but leaves us grappling with issues of pacing, development, and the mighty question—is this movie, in fact, scary or simply an amusing trip through the absurd?Our conversation is propelled by Karen White, a television journalist whose throwaway encounter with a serial killer leads her to a remote mountain retreat. Instead of an influx of terror, we find ourselves engaging in comedic banter about outdated tropes, lengthy character arcs and special effects scenes, and curious decisions surrounding her transformation.Join us as we analyze what elements of "The Howling" fail to hold up against its peers while appreciating the innovative effects that made a mark on the horror genre for years to come. Can werewolves ever be cute? Through waves of criticism and fondness, we discover what worked and what didn't as we argue, laugh, and share our ratings of this classic horror flick. Inspired by the relevant points and questions raised throughout our dissection, we invite you to share your thoughts. Did you enjoy "The Howling," or did it fall flat for you?

Join Ocean House owner and author Deborah Goodrich Royce as she moderates a conversation with featured authors. New York Times bestselling authors Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White will discuss their new novel, An Author's Guide To Murder. About An Author's Guide to Murder: Agatha Christie meets Murder, She Wrote in this witty locked room mystery and literary satire by New York Times bestselling team of novelists: Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White. There's been a sensational murder at historic Castle Kinloch, a gothic fantasy of grey granite on a remote island in the Highlands of Scotland. Literary superstar Brett Saffron Presley has been found dead–under bizarre circumstances–in the castle tower's book-lined study. Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece for his brand and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in…or, possibly, one of the castle's guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for literary Americans, finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists. The prime suspects are Kat de Noir, a slinky erotica writer; Cassie Pringle, a Southern mom of six juggling multiple cozy mystery series; and Emma Endicott, a New England blue blood and author of critically acclaimed historical fiction. The women claim to be best friends writing a book together, but the authors' stories about how they know Brett Saffron Presley don't quite line up, and the detective is getting increasingly suspicious. Why did the authors really come to Castle Kinloch? And what really happened the night of the great Kinloch ceilidh, when Brett Saffron Presley skipped the folk dancing for a rendezvous with death? A crafty locked-room mystery, a pointed satire about the literary world, and a tale of unexpected friendship and romance–this novel has it all, as only three bestselling authors can tell it! About Beatriz Williams: Beatriz Williams is the bestselling author of over a dozen novels, including Husbands and Lovers, The Summer Wives, and The Secret Life of Violet Grant, as well as four other novels cowritten with Lauren Willig and Karen White. A native of Seattle, she graduated from Stanford University and earned an MBA in finance from Columbia University.

I avoided attempting the accent, at least.

Join Ocean House owner and author Deborah Goodrich Royce for a conversation with our featured author. This week, New York Times bestselling author Beatriz Williams will be discussing her new novel, Husbands & Lovers. About Beatriz Williams: Beatriz Williams is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of nineteen novels, including four novels in collaboration with bestselling authors Karen White and Lauren Willig. She graduated from Stanford University with an MBA in finance from Columbia University. Williams has won numerous awards for her novels, which have been translated into more than a dozen languages. She lives near the Connecticut shore with her husband and four children. About Husbands & Lovers: Two women—separated by decades and continents and united by an exotic family heirloom—reclaim secrets and lost loves in this sweeping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Wives. New England, 2022. Three years ago, single mother Mallory Dunne received the telephone call every parent dreads—her ten-year-old son, Sam, had been airlifted from summer camp with acute poisoning from a toxic death cap mushroom, leaving him fighting for his life. Now, searching for the donor kidney that will give her son a chance for a normal life, Mallory's forced to confront two harrowing secrets from her past: her mother's adoption from an infamous Irish orphanage in 1952 and her all-consuming summer romance fourteen years earlier with her childhood best friend, Monk Adams— one of the world's most beloved singer-songwriters—a fairy tale cut short by a devastating betrayal. Cairo, 1951. After suffering tragedy beyond comprehension in the war, Hungarian refugee Hannah Ainsworth has forged a respectable new life for herself—marriage to a wealthy British diplomat with a coveted posting in glamorous Cairo. But a fateful encounter with the enigmatic manager of a hotel bristling with spies leads to a passionate affair that will reawaken Hannah's longing for everything she once lost. As revolution simmers in the Egyptian streets, a pregnant Hannah finds herself snared in a game of intrigue between two men . . . and an act of sacrifice that will echo down the generations. Timeless and bittersweet, Husbands & Lovers takes readers on an unforgettable journey of heartbreak and redemption, from the revolutionary fires of midcentury Egypt to the moneyed beaches of contemporary New England. Acclaimed author Beatriz Williams has written a poignant and beautifully voiced novel of deeply human characters entangled by morally complex issues—of privilege, class, and the female experience—inside worlds brought shimmeringly to life.

This week the Boys discuss dead animals, trauma, and Paul's extra-curricular activities. Released in 1981, "The Howling" is a quintessential horror film directed by Joe Dante. Based on the novel of the same name by Gary Brandner, the movie is a landmark entry in the werewolf subgenre of horror. The story follows television news anchor Karen White, played by Dee Wallace, who becomes the target of a serial killer. To recover from the trauma, Karen and her husband retreat to a remote resort known as "The Colony." Unbeknownst to them, the inhabitants of this secluded place are lycanthropes – werewolves – and their seemingly idyllic community conceals a terrifying secret. "The Howling" is celebrated for its effective blend of suspense, gore, and transformation sequences, becoming a cornerstone in the werewolf horror canon. The film's groundbreaking special effects, led by Rob Bottin, marked a significant advancement in practical creature design at the time. The vivid and horrifying werewolf transformations are particularly memorable, showcasing the level of dedication and creativity that went into the film's production. Beyond its technical achievements, "The Howling" is also praised for its social subtext, as it can be interpreted as a commentary on primal instincts and the battle between civilization and our more animalistic nature. As Karen delves deeper into The Colony's sinister secrets, the movie explores themes of identity and duality, adding depth to its horror elements. With its chilling atmosphere, remarkable practical effects, and thought-provoking themes, "The Howling" remains a cherished classic that has left an indelible mark on the horror genre.

The House on Prytania (A Royal Street Novel) by Karen White A woman is haunted—both literally and figuratively—by ghosts of the past in this second novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White. Nola Trenholm may not be psychic herself, but she's spent enough time around people who are to know when ghosts are present, and there are definitely a few lingering spirits in her recently purchased Creole cottage in New Orleans. Something, or someone, is keeping them tethered to this world. And not all of them are benign. But with the sudden return of Sunny Ryan, Beau Ryan's long-lost sister, Nola has plenty to distract her from her ghostly housemates. Especially when the tempting—yet firmly unavailable—Beau, wanting to mete out justice to those he blames for Sunny's kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor that threatens to derail her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling backward. He asks her to welcome Michael Hebert back into her life, even though Michael is the reason for Nola's bruised heart. Beau is convinced that Michael's powerful family was behind Sunny's disappearance and that Michael is the key to getting information the police won't be able to ignore—if Nola is willing to risk everything for which she's worked so hard. Torn between helping Beau and protecting herself, Nola doesn't realize until it's almost too late why the ghosts are haunting her house—a startling revelation that will throw her and Beau together to fight a common enemy. Assuming Nola can get Beau to listen to what the spirits are trying to tell him, because ignoring them could prove to be a fatal mistake...

Bestselling author Karen White is releasing “The House on Prytania Street,” the second novel in her Royal Street spin-off series, on May 9. The book follows a strong heroine in New Orleans as she tries to restart her life, with a plot involving a thriller ghost mystery and romance. White aims to create character-driven stories about Southern women with “grit” and explores themes of survival and family. White has planned the series to allow readers to pick up any book out of chronological order and dive into the plot blindly. White will hold a book signing event in Woodstock, Georgia, on May 9.Top of Form Edward "Jay" Lionel Ball, a Woodstock man, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for multiple drug charges including distributing methamphetamine and manufacturing heroin. Ball was found guilty by a Cherokee County jury and sentenced by Superior Court Judge David Cannon Jr. as a recidivist, meaning he will serve the entire prison portion of his sentence without parole eligibility. The charges stem from a Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad investigation initiated in response to a tip about a man named Reginald Jerome Foster selling methamphetamine in Cherokee County. During the investigation, agents observed Ball supplying Foster with methamphetamine and heroin. Law enforcement later executed a search warrant and discovered nearly a pound of heroin in Ball's rented house, along with methamphetamine, scales, and baggies used for distribution, and handguns and ammunition. Ball's co-defendants, Reginald Jerome Foster and Katie Marissa Zepeta, were also charged and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate have passed two bills that would dissolve the current Cherokee County board of elections, replacing it with a new board appointed under a new process. If signed into law, most elections board members would be appointed by the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners. Currently, the local Republican and Democratic parties appoint two members each, and the chair is chosen by the other four members of the elections board. The passing of the bills comes after a lawsuit questioning the current system's “constitutionality." Lawmakers believe that the bill should not affect voters when going to the polls to cast a vote. One month after Creekview parted ways with longtime boys basketball coach Casey Gramling, the school found its new coach in Denmark's Tyler Whitlock. Whitlock has 16 years of coaching experience, most recently with Denmark in Alpharetta, and has five state playoff appearances since 2019. He added region championships in 2019 and 2020, with a 96-50 record over the last five seasons since starting the Danes' program. Whitlock led Denmark to the Class AAAAAAA playoffs this past season with a 16-12 overall record and a 7-3 mark in Region 6AAAAAAA. The Danes fell 54-50 to Osborne in the first round. Creekview and Denmark met once in 2022-23, with the Grizzlies winning 55-49. The Danes prided themselves on defense and physicality during Whitlock's time as coach, a mentality he plans to instill at Creekview. The Canton City Council has denied a request for a townhome neighborhood at Prominence Point Parkway The Georgia Department of Education has awarded $22,307 to eight Cherokee County Schools through its Opportunity Grants program, which seeks to expand learning options and opportunities for students. The grants, funded by federal stimulus funds under the American Rescue Plan, total $1,820,804 and will support fine arts, health and physical education, and world language programs, among others. Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods said that these grants ensure students have access to educational opportunities that prepare them for life and keep them engaged in school. Five Cherokee County basketball players earned all-metro honors from the Atlanta Tipoff Club on Friday. River Ridge's Mataya Gayle topped the list as the Girls Metro Player of the Year after leading the Knights to the Class AAAAAA state championship. Gayle averaged 17.3 points, 5.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game. Gayle, who scored 25 points in River Ridge's 68-50 win over Lovejoy in the state title game, is committed to play in the Ivy League at Penn next season. Cherokee's Toni Warren, Sequoyah's Elle Blatchford and Woodstock's Karson Martin were honorable mentions. Warren had a great 2022-23 season, taking the leap to the Warriors' lead threat on offense and committing to Wofford. She scored 41 points in Cherokee's 90-67 first-round playoff win over West Forsyth, breaking the single-game team record for points scored. Blatchford led Sequoyah to another Class AAAAAA state playoff appearance, pacing the offense at 17.7 points per game, along with 4.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. She scored 25 points against Douglas County in the first round of the playoffs and followed with 17 points in a second-round win over North Forsyth. On the boys side, Etowah's Brandon Rechsteiner and Cherokee's Tayden Owens earned honorable mention nods. Rechsteiner, a Virginia Tech commit, led Etowah to the Class AAAAAA semifinals after hitting a late free-throw to beat St. Pius X and second-team all-metro honoree Spencer Elliott. He finished that game with 21 points and scored 15 points in a 56-53 semifinal loss to Alexander. Owens was a vital part of Cherokee's playoff run, which included the Warriors making the state championship game for the first time since 1982. He finished with 10 points and a go-ahead 3-pointer in a quarterfinal win over Carrollton.

This week we watched the film "The Howling from 1981 J - 6.5 M - 7 Each week we choose a movie from one of the horror genre to discuss the following week. Follow along each week by keeping up with the movies we are watching to stay in the loop with the movie club! Check out other podcasts, coffee and pins at www.darkroastcult.com ! THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta The Howling 1981 In a red light district, newswoman Karen White is bugged by the police, investigating serial killer Eddie Quist, who has been molesting her through phone calls. After police officers find them in a peep-show cabin and shoot Eddie, Karen becomes emotionally disturbed and loses her memory. Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for the Colony, a secluded retreat where the creepy residents are rather too eager to make her feel at home. There also seems to be a bizarre connection between Eddie Quist and this supposedly safe haven. And when, after nights of being tormented by unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest and makes a terrifying discovery The Howling is a 1981 American horror film directed by Joe Dante. It is based on the novel of the same name by Gary Brandner. The film stars Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Dennis Dugan, and Robert Picardo. The Howling was released in the United States on March 13, 1981, and became a moderate success, grossing $17.9 million at the box office. It received generally positive reviews, with praise for the makeup special effects by Rob Bottin. The film won the 1980 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film while still in development, and was one of the three high-profile werewolf-themed horror films released in 1981, alongside An American Werewolf in London and Wolfen. Its financial success aided Dante's career, and prompted Warner Bros. to hire Dante (as director) and Michael Finnell (as producer) for Gremlins. A series consisting of seven sequels arose from the film's success. A remake is in development, with Andy Muschietti set to direct. Karen White is a Los Angeles television news anchor who is being stalked by serial killer Eddie Quist. In cooperation with the police, she takes part in a scheme to capture Eddie by agreeing to meet him in a sleazy porn theater. Eddie forces Karen to watch a video of a young woman being bound and raped, and when Karen turns around to see Eddie, she screams. The police enter and shoot Eddie, and although Karen is safe, she suffers amnesia. Her therapist, Dr. George Waggner, decides to send her and her husband, Bill Neill, to the "Colony", a secluded resort in the countryside where he sends patients for treatment. The Colony is filled with strange characters, and one, a sultry nymphomaniac named Marsha, tries to seduce Bill. When he resists her unsubtle sexual overtures, he is attacked and scratched on the arm by a werewolf while returning to his cabin. After Bill's attack, Karen summons her friend, Terri Fisher, to the Colony, and Terri connects the resort to Eddie through a sketch he left behind, having previously discovered that Eddie's body disappeared from the morgue. Karen begins to suspect that Bill is hiding a secret far more threatening than marital infidelity. Later that night, Bill meets Marsha at a campfire in the woods. While having sex in the moonlight, they undergo a frightening transformation into werewolves. While investigating the next morning, Terri is attacked by a werewolf in a cabin, though she escapes after cutting the monster's hand off with an ax.
