About this episode

This week on Wheel of Horror, we're taking a trip to the small town of Tarker's Mills to revisit Stephen King's Silver Bullet, one of the most underrated werewolf/Gary Busey films of the '80s. From its unforgettable creature effects and eerie atmosphere to its coming-of-age story and shocking twists, we're breaking down everything that makes Silver Bullet howl! We discuss the performances, the practical effects, the film's connection to Stephen King's novella Cycle of the Werewolf, and whether this hidden gem still holds up nearly 40 years later. Was the werewolf reveal too early? Is Reverend Lowe one of horror's most memorable villains? And does Silver Bullet deserve more recognition among classic Stephen King adaptations? Join Alec and first time Guest Clint Switzer as we dive deep into this cult classic and separate nostalgia from nightmare. TikTok: YouTube: Apple Podcast: Spotify: Instagram: Twitter/X:
