Hyrcania (Werewolf Transformation)

Here's a neat little surprise from France: a short indie film called Hyrcania, about a soldier who returns from the eponymous mythical country with a surprise in store for his wife.
 EDIT: the original video is no longer available, but a werewolf fan on youtube decided to excerpt the transformation.




The special effects are surprisingly good for what must be an independent film on a shoestring budget (there's even snout growth!). You can see an outtake from the film here. Having griped about The Vampire Diaries in my previous post, I'm impressed to see a director do a good TF job on a much smaller budget. Hollywood could take some pointers...

Reader Contributions II: Vampire Diaries (Werewolf Transformation)

One of the great joys in running a blog is when readers show their appreciation by participating. This week I'm honored to feature the contribution of Mike, who wrote in to alert us of recent werewolf transformations in The Vampire Diaries. Some readers will remember that I covered a werewolf TF from the show about a year ago  (here). The newest TF features the same character, Tyler (played by Michael Trevino), though he's now a vampire-werewolf hybrid to boot.

 You can watch the new clip here. The TF starts around the 1:28 mark. As in the earlier VD clip, Trevino's acting is terrific--his screams and contortions deftly convey the pain he's feeling as his body changes. But like the earlier clip, the sparse special effects aren't up to his acting, and after several minutes of screaming and bone-snapping sounds, we just get a couple seconds of hard-to-see morphing. It's sort of like two hours of foreplay followed by a minute of sex. Still, Trevino's acting should aid anyone with a healthy imagination, and we can hope the show will offer future TFs that show more. In any case, a hearty thank you goes out to Mike, for being both an enthusiastic reader and contributor. I hope more readers will follow in his example. Thanks again!

A.T.O.M (Monster/Hulk Transformation)

A.T.O.M. is the title of cartoon and stands for Alpha Teens On Machines. (One hopes the show isn't as stupid as its title.) Anyway, in episode 6, "The Experiment," one of the Alpha Teens, a big buff guy named King, gets captured by a mad scientist and turned into a hulk-like monster. The transformation is rather brief but occurs in two stages.
The first part is here:

(You can stop watching after 55 second mark.)


And here's the second stage TF, which is unfortunately very short:

(The mad scientist guy transformed into that icky white thing at the 2:51 mark by the way.)

Mamabliss' "Equine Solution" (Horse Transformation)

Happy New Year everyone! Let's start the year off on the right (transformed) foot with some TF. Here's a horse transformation comic by Mamabliss, who graciously made it a freebie.

As for the new year, I hope to increase my posting rate and add at least 100 new entries. As always, if you have any contributions or TF alerts in mind, I'd love to hear from you.
