Who’s The Wolf in Dead Howling? Sure, Survival is Important, But ….

The zombies won’t be answering that in this film, which is more about pack building and survival during a zombie apocalypse that could use a faster pulse. Dead Howling is a work that is different.

Between pulp and a serious tale, just where John V. Soto’s Dead Howling fits seems uncertain. I feel it leans more towards family drama rather than be a full on challenge between species. That’s because there can only be one werewolf against a massive horde of zombies! Also, when the set design suggests an abandoned present-day world with lots of rust, just where it fits when marketing describes a post-apocalyptic setting is certainly subject to interpretation!

After a zombie virus devastates the world, Carter (Joel Jackson) lives alone, spending his nights hunting the living dead for sport with the help of a tremendous power. He finds a new purpose after saving two siblings, Megan (Téa Heathcote-Marks) and Billy (Riley Stiles), who are seeking a rumoured safe zone. Unsurprisingly, this loner agrees to protect them on their search for sanctuary. Along the way, they must dodge encounters with the walking dead, random or otherwise, meet other survivors and hopefully make it out alive. This Australian-made film evokes the frontier in a few scenes. We just need more desert than suburban sprawl.

Zombies vs. Werewolves: Is Dead Howling Your Halloween Night Out?

A lone werewolf hunts the walking dead in this post-apocalyptic horror from the producers of Dog Soldiers and Terrifier 3. Catch Dead Howling on the big screen at Tubi FrightFest Halloween, then take it home on Digital, DVD and Blu-ray two days later.

Dead Howling DVD CoverOver the years, there have been many pairings and many confrontations. And honestly, I don’t think this combination has been explored before. To see a showdown in a film where zombies are fighting werewolves may well be the thing fans of the crossover have been waiting for, and Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is going to deliver! Dead Howling will have its UK premiere at Tubi FrightFest Halloween 2026 on October 31. And instead of waiting, it will touchdown on digital, DVD and Blu-ray on November 2. That’s a nice two-day gap between big-screen scares and the couch.

FrightFest Halloween takes over the ODEON Luxe West End in London, and the film will screen twice on Halloween Day. If you miss the first showing, you get another shot. Brutal action, nightmarish monsters and a bleak, lawless wasteland are all on the menu. It’s an all-out clash where the dead and the damned collide.

Letting the Wolf Out in The Cursed

In The Cursed, just how brother and sister are doing their best, especially when burdened by the sins of their father, gets deftly examined.

To put a unique spin on the classic werewolf legend is hard. Thankfully, writer director Sean Ellis succeeds in giving The Cursed (also known as Eight for Silver in other markets) a layer not so frequently explored. He opens the story during the Great War–to which he’s no doubt making an analogy of–and flashes back to a longer tale about why a certain individual has become seemingly immortal.

The look of 19th century France is beautifully recreated, and there’s a certain parlour of gloom foreshadowing the later acts. To say it’s a Gothic tale doesn’t reveal much. To suggest how it’s like E.A. Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher hints at more, concerning a family legacy. This film deals with how brother and sister are doing their best, especially when burdened by the sins of their father in their continued life….

Janie’s Got A Gun in Black’s Myth by Ahoy Comics!

This world isn’t any different from the classic World of Darkness scheme in the RPG world. In the first issue alone, I get the sense there’s also demons, vampires and other spooks hiding ’round the corner. We just may see them featured in upcoming issues.

Black's Myth #1Ahoy Comics
Now Available in Comic Stores
Spoiler Alert

Who needs an American Werewolf in London when there’s an Afro-American one in the mean streets of Los Angeles. Janie “Strummer” Jones is a P.I. on the hunt for the assassin out to kill her kind in the comic titled Black’s Myth. She took one for the team, and thankfully survived. However, she has yet to identify the killer. Ben Si’lat is her assistant and a djinn to boot! He can’t grant wishes, but can help her out in other ways that she can’t. She can only do so much when in lupine form to use her enhanced senses.

This noir-style horror comic book from writer Eric Palicki and artist Wendell Cavalcanti has a lot to like. Presenting this world in B&W gives this world character. Plus, the blood splatters look better when painted in plain ol’ black.
