Makaio has also written in to recommend posting this scene from the Justice League episode "The Brave and the Bold", wherein the Flash suffers hallucinations at the hands of the fiendish Gorilla Grodd.
Makaio writes: "One of my favorite TF clips. In this video is a weight gain (pretty
sweet), head inflation, puppet TF, and finally my favorite, the gorilla
transformation. I love how he goes from this skinny guy, suddenly hulks
bigger,
and finally his six-pack pushes out into huge round gorilla gut."
I have to agree, and will add that transformation scenes are often more detailed and vivid when played for nightmare/horror value, whereas comedic TFs are often of the "poof" variety, unless they're deriving comedy from the character's discomfort and humiliation during the transformation process. And those aspects can be played for horror with very little adjustment...
Makaio, whose blog I've added to the links sidebar, makes TF videos of his own. He points to two homemade TFs made with a gorilla suit (which can be viewed here and here). Makaio writes "I tried to mimic the camera techniques with the incredible hulk TFs with
close-ups of the rippage and such. The goal was to make it look like I
was actually outgrowing my clothes becoming a gorilla without using my
hands
to pull off on the clothes. Unlike the hulk, this gorilla tf managed to
get in some nice pants and boxer rippage..."
My thanks to Makaio for contributing--such gestures make this blog truly worthwhile. I hope other readers won't feel shy about pitching in suggestions.

Wish he was still making videos. Loved his transformations but if he needs time off I’m sure we all understand
