260: Silver Bullet with Steven C. Miller

Director Steven C. Miller (Werewolves, Silent Night, Mauraders) joins Vespe to discuss Stephen King's werewolf story Cycle of the Werewolf, with a particular focus on the adaptation Silver Bullet. King penned the screenplay for Silver Bullet and the end result is essentially his second pass at the story where he gets to center the plot on a main character a bit more than his novella, which famously started life as a series of monthly werewolf attacks in a calendar format. We break down why werewolves are such interesting cinematic threats, how the human element of Silver Bullet carries the weight left over by the crappy werewolf design, and give flowers to all the great character actors involved in the movie.
