#Shocktober2019 continues with a look at the 1981 movie from director Michael Wadleigh, Wolfen. Based loosely on the 1978 book by Whitley Streiber, the film stars Albert Finney as Dewey Wilson, a world weary New York City cop who is assigned the macabre murder of real estate mogul Peter Vanderveer. Initially thought to be a terrorist plot, Wilson is assigned a psychologist, Neff (Diane Venora), to aid in his pursuit. They soon learn that they’re facing something much more sinister… and much older…

Stephen Graham Jones (Mongrels) and Jedidiah Ayres (Peckerwood) join Mike to discuss the film along with author Whitley Strieber, producer Rupert Hitzig, director John D. Hancock, and composer Craig Safan.
