The Howl - Your Past Month's Horror News - September, 2025 featuring Joe Russo

Hey everyone, back with another monthly episode of The Howl, where me and my cohost Adam Cruz break down the biggest horror news, share what we’ve been watching, and talk all things horror. This month we’re joined by screenwriter, producer, and director Joe Russo (Nightmare Cinema), who brings some serious insider perspective to the conversation.

Our goal with The Howl is to catch listeners up with all of the horror news they might have missed from the past month in a fun, conversational format. If you want a quick-read version of The Howl sent straight to your inbox every month, sign up for my newsletter at nicktaylor.com/thehowl.

So to recap, The Howl is about getting you up to speed on what’s happening in horror, giving some recommendations, and hopefully entertaining you along the way. These episodes also have a video component, so check us out on The Nick Taylor Horror Show YouTube channel as well.

So without further ado, here’s me, Nick Taylor, with Adam Cruz and Joe Russo on this month’s segment of The Howl.
