3) Basically, you're retarded because you said this is the most hideous transformation you've ever seen. What the fuck do you mean? It looks ugly/scary? Or the effects are just very poor? I'm gonna go with the latter. It's ridiculous to say it's bad because if you had even the slightest knowledge of movies, you'd know these effects really are great for their time. And yes, it deserves respect for that. That is why you are retarded.

Considering how low-tech the special effects were when this was filmed, this transformation is pretty damn awesome. Bravo!

I like the juxtaposition of the easy music in the background with it, too.

Really?? I thought this one of the real werewolves out there...like Remus Lupin..

Correction: it's still great and hold it's own today because by gosh, does it make me grit my teeth. Seriously, the worst part of this video is the acting in the beginning as I do think it's a bit unconvincing.

All these years later and this still definitely holds up as one of the best transformations...

A lot of people says that this is the better transformation scene ever, but, honestly, i disagree. The transformation scene from "The Howling" is very more scary.
