The Greatest Werewolf Transformations in Film

This video compilation won me over by beginning with perhaps the greatest werewolf transformation ever committed to celluloid, the one from AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Genius, pure genius. Then following it up with Eddie’s transformation from THE HOWLING? Yes, this list is legit. But while the fight scene between Hugh Jackman’s werewolf and the…

Now how’d THAT get in there?!

This list of 19 “alarming” places where dead bodies have been discovered (and that should be specified as dead HUMAN bodies, otherwise your nearest neighborhood grocery store’s frozen section would qualify—although this probably wouldn’t be that alarming to anybody NOT a vegan) is pretty entertaining, but some of the claims are a little spurious (the…

Then we are offered a were-mosquito,…

I’d actually believed that the gorilla as a species hadn’t been “officially” discovered (ancient Phoenician sailors left written documentation of encounters with them…
