There's something about tangible effects that CGI just can't do...........I appreciate CGI BUT it is some damned cold and perfect. Life isn't like that.
It sucks when "they" can make anything that can be conceived show up on the screen.....but the stories are nowhere as good as these classics......ditto "The Thing" remake and "Werewolf In London".......all good movies that held off showing things until the story had grabbed you.
Its Rick Baker doing the makeup. The guy is a last in and amazing art. This movie scared the ___ __ _ _____ _ _ _____ out of me as a little kid. It was actualy this scene . Everything else was ok. But the changing just did it for me. I probly seen this the first time in i would say 83. I was about 6 then.. Awsome film.
i haven't seen this movie in years...i didn't realize that this werewolf was Robert Picardo from Stargate: Atlantis and The Doctor in Star Trek Voyager...and many other things he's done.
this is a movie you don't look at when you're 8 yrs old. i miss the 80's
@rbmt3rd2007 Right. Many 80's horror flics were pretty scary. Society wasnt as desensitized as it is now. Now you need pseudo snuff films like Hostel and Saw to get people to even flinch. The Vampire and Werewolf films today are abysmal.
Ok now there's a 7 foot tall hairy werewolf, with razor sharp teeth and 3 inch claws standing in front of me, that just took 15 minutes to transform. I think i should run....NOW. Nah maybe i'll just throw some acid on his face and then slowly WALK away.
No.... to me they should have left all the bubbling skin bullshit out of that... made it look very cheesy to me.... Just watched GRIMM tonight, now that's a fast and good change ... :-)
@RAMWolff1350 You are comparing todays computer generated effects with the special effects of years ago. This transformation scene was done without the benefit of computer animation. In order to fully appreciate this scene you have to appreciate the work and technology of the day. This took a lot more to film than just sitting at a computer keyboard. It's an amazing piece of film making.
@brewron Trust me, I'm well aware of that ... I'm going to be 51 in January so I've been around for allot of the modern era of special effects... I just thought the bubbling effects were a bit cheesy is all... I know all the goes into all this.. I'm a "second disk" fan, meaning I buy DVD's and blu-rays that have all the extras included so I watch interviews and the making of and I DO appreciate what all goes into it! :-)
while he was busy transforming in the earlier part she shld jus take someting HEAVY AND smashed his FREAKING face early on !!! mayb she was too scared shit to move ....
If I was her I would of been running as fast as I could as far away as I could. He'd probably eventually kill her but I would not be standing there watching him turn into my reaper.
I remember seen this when I was only like 5 yrs old. It fuckin scared the shit outta me. They don't make horror movies like this anymore. I think C.G. effects kinda ruined horror movies.
@sictripp66 I agree...the dim light and the grainy picture and the special effects make up back then made them seem more real...now everything is so polished it makes it less life-like I guess...
I remember watching this as a kid.. being scared outta my pants.. this movie is a classic.. thanx for uploading this part.. favorite werewolf transformation, ever!!
As soon as he pulled the bullet out of his head, I would have been in the next county. I sure as hell would not have stood there and watched him transform into a werewolf.
This stuff is interesting to watch- but the stop motion photograhy of the early Classic werewolf films was much more effective and scarier mainly because they were so fast- there was no time to get away- Dee Wallace could have had a smoke and a cup of coffee and still have time to run away from this werewolf. Still a great film though- When it comes to Werewolves- its' all good.
I´m reading a novel (Midnight) bye Dean R Koontz . A person is decribed to look similar as the monster in "the howling"..... intresting to watch this....
Transformation scenes are always cheesy. Much better effect can be gottem from keeping the wolf and the human separate.
In any case with a three minute transformation the woman has time to call the police, the national guard, Dr Van Helsing, Bruce Willis and have time for a cosy cup of coffee while waiting for them to arrive.
80's horror movies are the best. whether its werewolves like this one, or even stuff like the DEADLY SPAWN, which is a science-fiction horror movie, the 80's definetaly destroy modern horror.
Fun fact about the dueling werewolf transformations, Rick Baker was actually hired by Dante first. Then, biggest douche in the universe John Landis used The Howling’s production to fast-track American Werewolf and steal Baker away, leaving Dante with his young protege Bottin as a consolation prize.
Well, the reason she stood watching as long as she did was 1) paralysis from terror and disbelief, and 2) he was barring her way by placing a strecher between them barring her from the exit.
Holy God, what a woman is waiting to run off, to see the whole transformation? I threw acid on him in early and disappear far away as fast as he could.
I love how at 1:37 Dee Wallace looks like she's kinda sighing outta boredom. I love this movie but this part seems pointless. After all that, and she gets away in like a second.
@horrorjunkie92 LOL! ur right like: c'mon dude transform faster, i got groceries to buy.
Also more than afraid she looked and gasped as if she is getting horny or something, still the transformation is more real than let's say......Twilight?
Oh, please don't forget the awesome popcorn sound during the transformation (sarcasm included).
@forramelagalleta Lol agreed. I've never watched the Twilight movies, but I've seen a clip of the werewolf transformation in the second one. Looks more like a Nintendog than a werewolf.
he just keeps getting uglier and uglier and uglier until a 3:21 he just looks like my dog when its woke up........ then she throws acid in his face and he gets even uglier :O
die wartet still bis er voll transformiert is und schreit dann erst und schüttet säure ? so ein quatsch und werwolf sie ja albern aus ! bad moon oder werewolf the series is much better
I can't for the life of me figure out which werewolf transformation scene was the scariest to watch: An American Werewolf in London or The Howling. Either way they both scared the hell out of me, I can't even watch both movies in the dark.
my favorite horror movie of all time next to "the thing" cuz they show the graphics and the physical change it looks more real..nowadays everything is compuerized =-(
i think that the transformation took 3 mins because this movie was shot in 81 and there are some good Efects i mean the transformation.Well thats my Opinion.I like this movie
even the director said when they originally screened the film for test audiences, kids asked, why doesn't she run away since he is taking so long changing into a wolf? that's sure enought what I would have done.
@markVIIchick Why she doesn't immediately skedaddle ... Quist (that's his name) has her cornered and trapped, and I get the impression that the "gifted" use their transformations to transfix their victims, anyway.
at the begging he looks more like he is mutating in the toxic avenger, awesome scene anyway, but i still prefer "an american werewolf in london" transformation
I had an idea once what this movie would be like in the Doctor Who Universe this transformation seen would a great cliffhanger this would really be behind the sofa stuff
wtf? this was hilarios, what a sick scene and what a freak!! awesome effects but i think werewolf in london got better transformation scene but howling got better werewolf fully transformaited
yeah the howling transformation is much better than american werewolf in london, because first the guy doesnt to undress his clothes 2nd it doesnt take that much time, 3 the effect and the sounds fit together. so yeah this one is way better
why do people think this transformation is better then then tranformation in american werewolf in london, i think this is good but i prefer american werewolf in london
and plus that woman deserves to die she had a good 3 mins to run away but no, like all horror films the victims hav 1 brain cell lol
Surely in the time it took for him to transform, she could have got the hell out of there, rather than stand there gawping. It's kinda like on "The Omen" when the priest gets impaled on the falling spire, he just stands there screaming for like 10 seconds before it hits him, why not just step out of the way :D
LOL yes this I will agree with. I'm sure the length of time was too 'show off' by the fx team and the director of what they could do. These are 'hero scenes' Unrealistic in some sense for the soon to be eaten/killed but fun for the audience, macabre as this sounds! Btw The Omen were very good films (1+2)
do not understand or comprehend what goes into making films of this nature.Before the advent of cgi and it's endless possibilities,time and cost savings,flexibilty etc These oldschool techniques were the works of masters of thier craft. Before u throw stones try doing something better, without the aid of today's talent and awesome computing power.
It must be said that as a whole (all elements combined) that this sequence was and possibly still is the best werewolf transform to date (besides A.W.I.London) Rob Bottin and his crew,the music and editing crew,sound fx,and finally the actor himself did a spectactular job.Before CGI's flexible and much cheaper development pipleines these scenes could become very expensive(esp retakes due to technical problems)I would gamble most of you people criticizing or laughing(although I respect ur opin's)
why dis dumb bitch wait 3 minuts wen da wolf fagot is transform and den she threw da acid at it? my country we no wait dis 3 minuts we kick da shit out of wolf fagot and den shit on his head and anus. praise praise
I have always been fascinated by Werewolf stories , since I saw an apparition of something that looked a lot like the creatures in this film, when I was 4 years old.
by far the most influencial werewolf movie ever the werewolf from the howling is by far the most copied, when was the last time anybody saw a werewolf copied from american werewolf in london in any movie that came out after it?
@kkpp232323 I've always thought a satire of that would be funny. Cut from the werewolf to the victim smoking a cigarette, reading a magazine, taking a nap, etc.
@kkpp232323 I would just wait until it completely transformed, and then throw hydrochloric acid, that is conveniently sitting on my desk, into its face.
Lets be honest he looks better as the wolf, not to be insulting but that guy has flat tire face it looks like somebody done popped him! 0:20 ugly man 3:21 not a bad lookin fella im sure he does pretty good with the ladies
this is like the innovator of transformations isn't it? the howling was the best werewolf movie when i was growing up...didn't have all the cgi's back then man...fucking bummed out early 80's lol
La actitud aparentemente estúpida de la mujer hace más interesante la transformación, la cual tiene una duración óptima, no es una escena innecesariamente larga.
ES LA MEJOR TRANSFORMACIÓN QUE HE VISTO, VERDADERAMENTE SE VE UN HÍBRIDO ESPELUZNANTE.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is he done yet? and why the hell is that bitch still doing there run away bitch stupid movies the chick always stays to watch ,haha then she throws him piss hahah piss in a bottle
I know right? If I was her I would have totally bolted by then. By the time he finished transforming I would have been 5 blocks away. At least. Dumbass woman.
They can take their CGI and shove it up their ass. This was, is, and always will be the best werewolf transformation scene.
To have seen this for the first time, as a kid, was beyond priceless, and far beyond terrifying.

yeah the howling transformation is much better than american werewolf in london, because first the guy doesnt to undress his clothes 2nd it doesnt take that much time, 3 the effect and the sounds fit together. so yeah this one is way better
jologs21 3 years ago
Yeah, this transformation is more like a superpower. That's what makes it cool... he's doing it on purpose.
An American Werewolf in London was clearly a very painful curse. Not cool...

why do people think this transformation is better then then tranformation in american werewolf in london, i think this is good but i prefer american werewolf in london
and plus that woman deserves to die she had a good 3 mins to run away but no, like all horror films the victims hav 1 brain cell lol

This one's better because the final transformation is the definitive werewolf design. This is how they are supposed to look.

Surely in the time it took for him to transform, she could have got the hell out of there, rather than stand there gawping. It's kinda like on "The Omen" when the priest gets impaled on the falling spire, he just stands there screaming for like 10 seconds before it hits him, why not just step out of the way :D
Still, it's a pretty good transformation scene!

LOL yes this I will agree with. I'm sure the length of time was too 'show off' by the fx team and the director of what they could do. These are 'hero scenes' Unrealistic in some sense for the soon to be eaten/killed but fun for the audience, macabre as this sounds! Btw The Omen were very good films (1+2)

do not understand or comprehend what goes into making films of this nature.Before the advent of cgi and it's endless possibilities,time and cost savings,flexibilty etc These oldschool techniques were the works of masters of thier craft. Before u throw stones try doing something better, without the aid of today's talent and awesome computing power.

It must be said that as a whole (all elements combined) that this sequence was and possibly still is the best werewolf transform to date (besides A.W.I.London) Rob Bottin and his crew,the music and editing crew,sound fx,and finally the actor himself did a spectactular job.Before CGI's flexible and much cheaper development pipleines these scenes could become very expensive(esp retakes due to technical problems)I would gamble most of you people criticizing or laughing(although I respect ur opin's)

I have always been fascinated by Werewolf stories , since I saw an apparition of something that looked a lot like the creatures in this film, when I was 4 years old.

by far the most influencial werewolf movie ever the werewolf from the howling is by far the most copied, when was the last time anybody saw a werewolf copied from american werewolf in london in any movie that came out after it?

If werewolves were real, I'd hope they took over 3 minutes to transform. That'd give me plenty of time to escape.

@kkpp232323 I've always thought a satire of that would be funny. Cut from the werewolf to the victim smoking a cigarette, reading a magazine, taking a nap, etc.

this, and thought, "I would've been out of that office
before he cut the first fang.

@kkpp232323 I would just wait until it completely transformed, and then throw hydrochloric acid, that is conveniently sitting on my desk, into its face.

No estoy de acuerdo con algunos comentarios.
La actitud aparentemente estúpida de la mujer hace más interesante la transformación, la cual tiene una duración óptima, no es una escena innecesariamente larga.
ES LA MEJOR TRANSFORMACIÓN QUE HE VISTO, VERDADERAMENTE SE VE UN HÍBRIDO ESPELUZNANTE.
