Our thanks to วรั้ย on our Discord channel for finding and recommending this new Chinese movie.
The War of Werewolf (半狼传说) looks like the sort of low-budget TV movie that would air on the SyFy channel if it was made in the USA, but it's evidence that werewolves might be growing more popular in China. And what better place for them to grow popular in the country with world's biggest population? I should also note that the lead actor, Zijian Wu, is very handsome.
The highest quality copy I could download had Arabic subtitles, so please ignore them. This clip is assembled from three different scenes. As you can see, CGI is used for the brief transformation but the werewolf itself is a guy in a suit (well, half of one). And since this is a Chinese action/fantasy film, the werewolf is good at martial arts and can float on wires...
Thanks to an anonymous commenter for suggesting this short horror film. An overweight boy gets picked on by bullies who have made a serious mistake...
And now an anime muscle growth pairing...
Our thanks to a reader named "Muscle," who suggested this scene from episode 10 of The Hidden Dungeon that Only I Can Enter. If the cue doesn't work, the muscle growth begins at 15:21:
In Digimon Savers a character named Ivan transforms into a "BioSpinomon" in episode 32.
Les contrées sauvage ("The Wilderness") is a French translation of several stories by the great manga artist Jiro Taniguchi. The last story, from 2010, is "Les innommables" (The Unspeakable) and involves a trio of characters (a young man, older one, and young woman) who gather round a tree and transform into wolves.
Ian Ricky provides the video for this 2017 horror film. A brain-dead, emaciated teenager (played by Cameron Monaghan) is possessed by a demonic entity who uses his body as a vessel.
The muscle growth starts at 3:01 and continues to 04:13. The possession is at 01:50 and reversion at 09:50.
This French "bande dessinée" is a parody of American superhero comics. The protagonists are all superheroes named Captain. One of them is Captain Bisou ("Kiss"), who transforms into a giant red monster whenever he's kissed:
The reversion scene:
A mini TF:
At the climax the heroes are captured by the villain--to free them extreme measures must be taken...
A final reversion on the final page:
Our thanks to Ian Ricky for contributing this clip from episode 10 of the Korean TV series Sweet Home. Actor Song Kang plays a suicidal high school student who moves into a new home after his family is killed in a car accident. He finds himself caught in the middle of an apocalypse and becomes a demonic being.
My thanks to Pareidolon on our Discord channel for suggesting this video. He writes, "the Netflix series Trese has a couple were-dog or 'sigbin' characters who transform in episodes 2 and 3, though it's fairly quick."
In the first issue the Lizard and Man-Thing meet in their human forms (they're both scientists). The Lizard transforms, and then during a fire-fight the Man-Thing germinates from some plant matter.
Digital animator Paul Strong has provided links to two of his shorts. Both are NSFW.
The first is a partial donkey transformation:
The second species is harder to describe...make your own guess!
I think it's a cross between a worm and serpent...
In any case, Paul's Patreon is here.
This post is devoted to various werewolf images found in books and other non-comic printed media.

His first transformation begins here.
A brief second one.
The third transformation.
The fourth starts here.
Chances are good we'll see more!

Another werewolf, this time on a pirate ship! Thanks to Mike for suggesting it.

Papa Vampiyan is a vampire but can also turn into a werewolf whenever he sees a full moon or similar object. The transformation occurs in episode one and is re-used multiple times in later episodes.
We've had several inquiries about when the next update will be. Now that life is returning to normal, free time is shrinking. This weekend is taken up with work and the next with family issues, but I can promise you that the blog will be updated by Monday, June 21. If time opens up we might even update before then. Thank you for your patience and suggestions.
