I'm honored to have received this video from the great werewolf connoisseur Herpscott. It's the transformation scene from the recent film Late Phases. After years of over-reliance on CGI, it's a delight to see filmmakers rediscover the power of practical effects. Like Wolf Cop, the transformation scene is the skin-ripping type, which isn't my favorite, but no one can deny that it isn't well-done and gripping. Thanks again Scott!

Growing Pains--Available for Viewing!
Growing Pains is a Danish short film about a teenaged boy who turns into a werewolf whenever he gets sexually aroused (you can see the trailer here). I discussed it a while back, and now I can report that it's available for rental, at this page.
The rental price is low ($3.40), and the film is more than worth it. Actually it's terrific--the first non-disappointing werewolf movie in years. It's even better than expected, and has three transformation scenes! The first alone is worth the price of rental, and the movie is funny, unsettling, kinky, and has something valuable to say about the harm of sexual repression and the need to release one's inner beast.
Werewolves have often been seen as metaphors for out-of-control sexual urges, puberty, and even erections (in transformation scenes the body grows like a monstrous penis). Many werewolf films have tried to make use of those metaphors--Growing Pains is the first to successfully employ all of them.
This is an independent movie and needs all the support it can get. I highly recommend renting Growing Pains.

Marbels Chocolate (Werewolf Transformation)
Below is a TV commercial from Indonesia, advertising Marbels Chocolate. It parodies classic werewolf iconography, features a cute actor, and uses a combination of make-up, body-suits, and CGI (for muzzle growth). I wish we had commercials like this in America. The only sour note is the boy giving the werewolf chocolate--doesn't he know that's toxic to dogs?

Garo: The Animation (Werewolf Transformation)
Episode 7 of this anime aired last month--it shows the main character dreaming that he's become a werewolf. The transformation is very quick, but there's some nice muzzle-growth and the werewolf design is goofy/cute.
Zoo (Vulture, rat, sabretooth tiger, tyrannosaurus rex transformations)
Zoo is a short online manga containing a smorgasbord of transformations. Since I can't read Japanese, I can't tell you the name of the author or what's going on, but the art looks very similar to that of Naruto.
The two male protagonists drink potions that turn them into various animals--though many of the transformations are off-panel, three or four have been spread across a few panels. Read Zoo here.
In case you need reading instructions, start by clicking the arrow in the pop-up sign. This will take you the main page. From there, turn the pages by clicking the arrow at the bottom of the screen (the arrow faces right).
Oh, and if anyone knows if Zoo has any other chapters, please tell me!

Life (Age Progression)
(Originally found at Visible Time.)
Life is a short film by Audrey Schebat; it shows a baby progressing to adolescence, adulthood, old age and death within a single shot. Though made in 2001, the morphing between the different models still works, though I think the childhood section is the smoothest and best (perhaps because the child actors look more alike).

Special Delivery (Horse Transformation)
Readers of this blog are undoubtedly familiar with Mamabliss and her excellent transformation comics. Horses are one of her specialties, and in "Special Delivery" we see a young man go from horny to...horsy. Read it here.
