Bad Moon (1996): Uncle Ted's barking at the moon again #29

This week, Richard and Angeles sink their teeth into Bad Moon (1996)—a criminally underrated werewolf flick that packs family drama, lunar horror, and one of the most heroic dogs in horror history.

We break down this lean, mean 79-minute werewolf machine scene by scene, from its wild jungle-set opener to the blood-splattered backyard finale. With practical effects, intense performances, and a surprising emotional core, Bad Moon proves that not all ‘90s horror went straight to the dogs.

🐺 In this episode:

• Full breakdown of Bad Moon (1996)

• The mythology and lore of lycanthropy in film

• Michael Paré’s tortured transformation and Mariel Hemingway’s grounded performance

• Why Thor the dog might be the best “final boy” in horror

• Viana’s Review Corner – Her take on canine loyalty and werewolf guilt

• Spoof Ad:

Whether you're a diehard werewolf fan or discovering this hidden gem for the first time, this episode is full of bite.
