      Horror Bulletin Monthly December 2021 - Brian Schell

      INTRODUCTION

      Hey, we’re up to issue three, and already we’ve included almost 80 reviews. It’s been fun, but we’re still learning a few new things and ironing out problems:

      ISSUE NUMBERING AND MONTHS GOING FORWARD

      We started out in October, compiling our reviews from September. This became the October issue (#1).

      We did the same thing in November, compiling reviews from October. This became the November issue (#2).

      Same thing this time, compiling the November reviews and calling it the December issue (#3).

      This is all well and good, but here’s where the problem comes in: For the month of December, we’ve decided to go with a full Holiday theme and do nothing but Christmas and winter-oriented horror films on our website, newsletter, and podcast. This is fine with daily website posts and weekly podcasts and newsletter, but with a monthly book/magazine, it’s going to make very little sense in the distant future when people see that our January issue is all about Christmas shows. This will continue to be a problem if we choose to do other time-based theme months, which we almost certainly will at some point.

      So, starting next month, with issue #4, we’ll ALSO be calling that one our December issue and continue with issue #5 being January, and so forth. The numbering of issues WILL NOT CHANGE, but there are going to be two issues labeled December this year.  If there’s any confusion, just purchase whichever NUMBER issue you don’t already have. The numbers will never repeat or cause confusion.

      ISSUE LENGTH SHOULD STABILIZE NOW

      With issue #1, we just wanted to get something out the door as a sort of proof-of-concept. We gathered the reviews from the previous month and put them out there. There wasn’t any bonus material.

      With issue #2, we added bonus material, but not for the full month, and a couple of them were reviews that have appeared in one or more of our books (but not the website).

      Finally, with issue #3, we’ve been doing bonus reviews for the entire month, and this issue has ten extra reviews that you won’t find on our website, at least for a long time. So, in the future, we’ll be bringing you one review for each weekday in the month, plus two for every weekend—note that as with this month, that doesn’t exactly equal seven reviews per week. At some point in the future, we may up the bonus content, but it’ll never be less than this system.

      GIVEAWAY RESULTS

      This month saw our first-ever giveaway promotion. We gave out five copies of M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie Old. Two lucky Twitter followers, one newsletter subscriber, and two podcast listeners picked up a DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Code of the film. We hope to be doing more of these in the future, so stay tuned!

      Some of you have picked up all three issues, and some of you may be starting here with this collection. What do you think? What would you like to see change? What could be improved or done better? We’d love to hear from you. Drop us an email or contact us on social media if you prefer. If we get enough, we may even start a Letters to the Editor column.

      SPOILER-FREE JUDGEMENT ZONE

      It’s a not-so-well-known film and deserves to be more well-known. It’s well done, a little long maybe, but it looks great and is well acted. It’s good, albeit a little slow.

      SYNOPSIS

      A man walks down the street at night as the voiceover explains about lycanthrope. The man goes into Chad’s Place, and credits roll.

      The man has a quick drink and stares into the fire. We see another man purposely ignoring the first man. He tells the bartender that he’s just passing through and leaves. The other man follows him outside. The first man says he doesn’t remember who he is, and the second man wants his money.

      The two men fight in the alley, and an old woman watches. She sees the winner’s face and screams. She tells the deputy what happened; only an animal could do that to a man’s throat. Some of the men grab shotguns and follow his footprints in the snow. Somewhere along the trail, the shoeprints turn into wolf tracks.

      Later, the sheriff comes back, and the deputy has been injured. They go to see Dr. Gilchrist and his daughter, Amy. Sheriff Haines says the thing that killed the man and hurt the deputy was both animal and man. Haines and Dr. Gilcrist argue about werewolves being real, but they’re both well aware of the legends.

      The unnamed, amnesiac man wakes up still wearing a suit, but his shoes are gone. He, too, notices the change in his footprints. He goes to the doctor as well but runs into Amy by accident. The doctor tries to narrow down what the man remembers. He says he was in a traffic accident and went to see two doctors, then-- nothing. He then admits he killed the man last night, but he thought it was a bad dream. When they mention the sheriff, the man runs off.

      The doctor and Amy tell Sheriff Haines that the man is sick, not a criminal and to try not to shoot him.

      Meanwhile, Morgan, the mad scientist, is experimenting on dogs. Dr. Emery asks, What have you done? Morgan says that mankind will soon be mutating from nuclear radiation, and the werewolf is the cure for that. When the rest of the world is destroyed, we’ll be the only thinking persons left, he says. He pokes a dog with a sharp stick-- just because. Morgan wants to hunt down the werewolf and kill him before he blabs and gives away their work. The werewolf’s wife and son come asking about him, but Morgan says he ran off yesterday.

      Morgan and Emery go to town and say they treated the missing man. Emery finds the man hiding in a cave. Emery says there’s nothing they can do for him. The man turns into a werewolf and attacks Emery. Morgan takes a shot and drives it off. The two doctors explain themselves to Haines.

      The sheriff starts putting down bear traps. They find out that the werewolf’s name is Duncan Marsh, and his wife and son are on the way to town. The werewolf does step into a trap, but is smart enough to get out. Helen Marsh arrives in town, and she soon hears the story.

      Sheriff Haines, Deputy Clovey, Amy, and the werewolf’s wife and son go up the mountain to search. They plead through a bullhorn, and Marsh staggers towards them. The family reunites, and Amy treats Duncan’s leg. They take him to the jail for protection, but Morgan and Emery are still waiting to kill him; he knows too much.

      The doctor suggests to Haines that someone did this to Marsh. Doc talks about how science and medicine are always turning down new roads. Who would have done this to Marsh? What kind of man would do this?

      Morgan and Emery overpower the deputy and enter the jail building. They find Marsh sleeping in his cell. They go into the cell and the werewolf kills them both. The townsfolk light up their torches and chase the werewolf back up the mountain. They shoot at the werewolf and then go home until morning for some reason.

      The next morning, the men continue to chase the werewolf. They trap him in the middle of a bridge and shoot him several times. The werewolf turns back into Marsh and dies.

      COMMENTARY

      There’s no full moon, no silver bullets, and no magic or curse. This werewolf is 100 percent scientifically created by mad scientists. The makeup is pretty good, and the transformation was also well done. The werewolf wears a suit throughout, so the werewolf makeup is just his head and hands. Toward the end, they call him the wolfman a
