Colmillos, el Hombre Lobo (Werewolf Transformation)

Colmillos, el Hombre Lobo (1993), is a little-known Mexican horror film about a ranch-hand who turns into a werewolf. What makes the film really interesting is that it's situated before the rise of CGI and clearly influenced by An American Werewolf in London, so the transformation uses prosthetics, inflating bladders, and all the glorious old effects that occur in front of the camera, not in a computer. And though Colmillos is a low-budget film, you can tell that genuine thought and effort went into the transformation scene. All of that makes this a sort of lost gem from the brief era when filmmakers around the world had their eyes on AWIL and not on a computer screen.

Sukia (Werewolf Transformation)

Sukia is an adult-themed Italian comic from the late 70s (though the only scans I could find are in Spanish). The title character is a vampire seductress and her assistant Gary is a flaming gay man--the first major homosexual character in Italian comics, distinguished for being proud and unashamedly promiscuous.

In issue 13 Gary turns into a werewolf, right when he's about to get it on with a hot guy:




Nothing spoils the mood like eating your partner. Poor Gary goes home to confess everything to Sukia. She tells him (I have no idea why) to sleep in the same bed as her and her boyfriend, and he of course transforms again...


Too bad the werewolf looks more like a stub-tailed ape than a canine. In case you're interested in the rest of the story, Gary kills another person and wakes up naked the next day. He hits a woman with a rock, steals her clothes and dresses in them, and gets picked up by a horny guy who makes Gary go down on him. Alas, in mid-fellatio he discovers Gary is actually a man and beats the shit out of him. Sukia learns about this and gets even with Gary's attacker by tracking him down, sucking his blood, and castrating him. She gives his severed penis to Gary as a present. He throws it out of the window and it's eaten by cats.

Ah, you might ask, but is Gary ever cured? Yes! They meet a professor who says that female werewolves have been cured by fucking male wolves, so a male werewolf would have to fuck a female wolf. Gary says he is not fucking anything female, so an alternative solution is found:


It works! Now if only this cure was more widely used...

Legend of the WereStallion (Horse Transformation)

One of the all-time most popular posts on my blog has been "Legend of the Werehorse," a multi-part comic by Mamabliss, based on a short story at furaffinity. The author also commissioned another comic adaptation of his story, this time drawn by Gillpanda, an artist with more manga-influenced style (and a penchant for drawing big bellies and bottoms). This second version is titled "Legend of the Werestallion," and like the original is not safe for work. As with a manga, the panels should be read right-to-left.

01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

So readers, which version do you prefer? Gillpanda's or Mamabliss's?

Werewolf Breeding (Werewolf Transformation)

Werewolf Breeding is a Korean webcomic (presented here in an English translation). So far there's been one transformation scene--it begins at the bottom of this page and continues onto the next.

Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators (Alligator Transformation)

(Many thanks to Tailbulger for bringing this to my attention.)

Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators is SyFy's latest foray into deliberate stupidity, following on the heels of such crapterpieces as Sharknado. The premise is a little less outlandish this time, since it merely involves humans turning into large alligators who shoot spines out of their tales. The victim is a hunky cop, and the transformation first hits him at 69:12 mark, and then resumes at 70:07. The film can be viewed here.
(Note: The video link is good quality, but has pop-up ads. You do not need an HD codec to view the video, so don't install it. If you have trouble viewing the video, several other links are here. Many thanks to Tailbulger for bringing the film to my attention.)

The transformation has a promising beginning but falls victim to the budget. Pretty good reptilian make-up is used to represent the first stage of the transformation, as you can see in this behind-the-scenes photo found by Mike, an old friend of this site:



Alas, everything afterward pretty much happens offscreen.  You see an alligator tail pop into the frame, but you don't see it burst out of the cop's pants. Tailbulger comments that "it's not always a question of budget--stuffing a large cone down the back of the cop's pants to simulate a growing tail would have cost nothing. Nor would a 'ripping' sound effect. What it boils down to, I think is laziness or lack of imagination, and that really annoys me, as I'm sure it annoys you." Definitely.

Damaged Circuits (Age Progression)

"Damaged Circuits" is one of those anti-drug commercials that are more likely to drive kids to drugs than away from them, but it's distinguished by some beautifully rendered age progression--the morphing is almost flawless. So put down your crack pipe and watch.

Arania's TF Art (New Link)

A wise reader named Extrenica suggested that I include a link to Arania's Transformation art. This excellent suggestion made me wonder why I hadn't linked to her before, since I've followed her work for years. Arania is one of the longest-running TF artists on the web, and she regularly updates her massive gallery at the end of every month. Her reliability means she receives many commissions, and her work is evenly split between male and female transformees (though I think she's more comfortable drawing females; her male subjects tend to have female-sized feet and waists). She's so prolific that it would take too much space to single out particular pieces, but they can all be viewed here by scrolling down to "transformation sequences." Each sequence is labeled with the type of transformation and the sex of the transformee, and that makes browsing easy.
