The original is a classic starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Claude Rains. The remake stars Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. Does it hold a candle to its predecessor? Not likely, but it does have its merits and we take a deep dive into both movies an...

Day 7: On this episode of Then Is Now's 13 Days of Hallowtober event for 2023, our werewolf discussion continues with “Cursed” from 2005, directed by horror legend Wes Craven and starring Joshua Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Jesse Eisenberg.

The movie stars Jason Momoa, Lucas Till, and veteran character actor Stephen McHattie, and is a refreshing direction as it doesn't rely on past films to shape its story. Sadly, because it was 2014, there were no movie ads, just listings, so we posted one that contained the logo, and a press photo from a horrible review. Enjoy! Re-Gor can be foun...
