Joe Dante
This week's guest got his start - as so many other great talents did - working for Roger Corman during the heyday of New World Pictures, first with the spastic comedy Hollywood Boulevard (1976) and later with the ferocious killer fish classic Piranha (1978). He chased this early success with 1981's The Howling (1981), widely considered the greatest werewolf movie ever made. And then came Gremlins (1984) in 1984, the blockbuster film that almost single handedly spurred on the invention of the PG-13 rating. He's one of the greatest horror and weird fantasy directors in history, he's Joe Dante and we are honored to have him in the Freakshow.
