When I told Josh Ruben I was a big fan of his, he had to ask a clarifying question. “A Dropout fan, a horror fan, or something else?” he asked with a knowing look. The answer was, actually, both.
I was a huge fan of his horror movies. Scare Me, his 2020 directorial debut, made a splash on Shudder with its unique quasi-anthological structure and performances from Ruben himself alongside The Boys’ Aya Cash. The very next year, he released Werewolves Within, a movie that was simultaneously a creature feature, a whodunit, a horror comedy, and a video game adaptation.
