January is “wolf month” on the Scary Spirits Podcast. Continuing on this theme, this week Greg has chosen the 1935 Universal film “Werewolf of London”. Join our hosts as they discuss the film while enjoying a “Full Moon Cocktail”. The recipe that Greg found on Make Me a Cocktail is below.

Full Moon Cocktail

• 2 shots coconut rum
• 2 shots vodka
• cola

Instructions:

  1. Put 2-3 ice cubes into a highball glass.
  2. Add two shots of coconut rum and two shots of vodka, then top up with cola.
  3. Stir and serve.

A Brief Synopsis: While in Tibet researching a mysterious flower that purportedly takes its strength from the moon, botanist Wilfred Glendon is bitten by a strange creature. Back in London, Glendon becomes absorbed in his research of the plant, and is annoyed by the appearance of fellow scientist Dr. Yogami, who reveals that the plant is the only known temporary antidote for werewolves. Glendon remains skeptical until the next full moon, when he undergoes a startling transformation.

Some of the topics discussed include:

  • Red Wolf Sanctuary – A local animal sanctuary that both of our hosts support.
  • Warren Zevon – Composer of the hit song that shares it’s title with this film.
  • Carnivorous plants – How many species of carnivorous plants are there?
  • Venus Fly Trap – Did either of our hosts own one of these plants?
  • Moon blooming plants – Why do they bloom at night? What are there characteristics?
  • Ring Doorbell – Does this film feature the first Ring doorbell?
  • Journey – Greg and Karen drop some Journey lyrics.
  • Latin – How much alcohol does it take for Karen to forget her Latin studies?
