While the werewolf is transformed Karen is transfixed with horror (I think), but then gets enough sense to grab a jar of acid to splash it on the werewolf and runs away. She gets into a car but is stopped by the police and taken to a secret temple in the woods where all the other colony people are there.
And the werewolf really really hates ... baths I guess?

SHUT UP DOC #monsterdon #thehowling
Well, can't say I wasn't warned about this movie #Monsterdon
Proto-Leela is gonna straighten them all out
The most horrifying thing about the werewolves of the Colony is their self-righteousness #monsterdon
ah yes.
Doctor AWHOOOOOO #monsterdon
The lesson of every monster movie is that women can't trust anyone
P. S. told you shrink was a werewolf
I don't think Doctor Who would turn people into werewolves...
#Monsterdon
He know how to use if, how to control if. He's a wizard with conjunctions!
#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 and now comes the peer pressure gauntlet
Wait. Is the sheriff is werewolf? Okay didn't think of that possibility but I should have. Everyone else is a werewolf. Such a happy colony.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling
Dramatic merging action! #Monsterdon
Wow! Back in the day, you could still drive that fast on an LA freeway.
...but they all WERE WOLVES (get it? get it? get it?) #monsterdon #thehowling
and at the end of the transformation scene, Tom Paris walks in laughing like a madman #monsterdon
Cool, a touch-sensitive synth-emitting bone-mobile hanging on the cottage porch.
The Misadventures of Sheriff Doggo
4 eared werewolves! #Monsterdon #TheHowling
here's the real horror: LA traffic!
So they are all werewolves? Neat. I didn't see that coming.
#monsterdon
Seriously. She could have been two miles away by the time he emerges #Monsterdon
This is a really gross and really slow transformation sequence...
#Monsterdon #TheHowling
THE WEREWOLF TOOK SO LONG TO TRANSFORM SHE GOT BORED AND JUST RAN OUT what on EARTH #monsterdon
Welcome to our wolf club house #Monsterdon
I know John Landis said he regretted the very long transformation scene in An American Werewolf in London, that in retrospect it ruined the pacing but he was just so impressed by what the effects department did, and
Yeah
Well we know who's not a good boy. #Monsterdon
okay so we've got the crafting table...

Picardo was almost strangeled by an errant air bladder near his neck during the transition shooting.
@cocaine_owlbear Was An American Werewolf in London the most painful looking werewolf transition in an 80s movie? I didn't see them all. #Monsterdon #TheHowling1981
I knew the sheriff was a doggo
If this happens to his shirt when he transforms, it doesn't explain how he was fully clothed when she met him.
#monsterdon
@jonny She made like a tree and got out of there #monsterdon #thehowling
Okay, The werewolves are kinda cute in a 'Now hear me out' kinda way...
#monsterfuckers #monsterdon
"Not all of us have enough money for a Mazda"
HAhahahah best line in the whole movie
We got a Fantasia situation? An Evil Dead? Jamie Lannister? #Monsterdon
This time the transition seemed pretty good though at the beginning the anatomy gas awkward and the cinematography didn't do the practical effects justice #Monsterdon
ok, fine, that's good mandible extension, dang #monsterdon
one of us
one of us
one of us
#monsterdon
Damn that was a fine 80's TF sequence.
after all that she just LEAVES? #monsterdon
Seriously like TEN MINUTES LATER dude that is the longest transformation of all time
"ok yeah get a bunch of balloons, get em wet, and then put them in between bamboo shoots in a bundle and twist and crack them together, that's what a werewolf sounds like" #monsterdon
WHO keeps calling them in a spooky whisper. Are werewolves psychic? Is it a metaphor for being drawn to the Beast Side??
The transformation is quite nice. So much that it makes me think someone figured out how to make this special effect work, and they came up with a script to justify it later #monsterdon #thehowling
Ok now repeat that for the last 19 minutes and we have a good movie. #monsterdon

If she only had a kong toy filled with peanut butter she would have been safe
βAwoogencyβ was RIGHT THERE and I missed it.
That's one smokin' werewolf!
#Monsterdon
Okay we all know American Werewolf in London is the gold standard A+ werewolf transformation, this is a... B-? It's got some good bits but it's uneven and starts bad.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling
You really could have done that at any point in that transformation. #Monsterdon #TheHowling
My goodness, Doctor, what big ears you have! #monsterdon
Sorry, I just imagine a small mouth coming from his mouth like in Aliens
#monsterdon
i...that was holy water somehow? idk what else that could have been
Fangtastic creature effects. #Monsterdon
only group therapy can save you now Karen #Monsterdon
@hollie π
a-and I cannot emphasize this enough-woooooooo
Werewolves don't take well to baptism I guess #monsterdon
What liquid did she throw at him? Frontline?
#Monsterdon oh ew the snot dripping into his mouth, yuckyyyyy
Jar of urine: Perfect weapon against a werewolf

Picardo came up with the line "I want to give you a piece of my mind" (then removes a bullet from his head) on his own!
And a doctor about that....
#Monsterdon
Seriously though why did he bother getting dressed again
Amazingly, this isn't the most painful looking werewolf transition put to film in the 80s.
*eyebrow waggle* #monsterdon
She could just run during this transformation though. It's like half an hour to become a wolf #monsterdon #thehowling
I love practical FX but even for me this seems really, really drawn out?
#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 we paid for whole transformation sequence, we use whole transformation sequence
hell yeah i am so in for this werewolf assembly transformer scene what in the splitting bamboo on the foley stage #monsterdon
Does this elongated transformation mean the final monster battle is about to start?
they put so much work into a transformation sequence that's so boring

@OldRustBucket It's a method of last resort...
Werewolf head number 3 is silly
I didn't know shapeshifting could be so sweaty #monsterdon
oh also wow that was Robert Picardo? cooool, so young!
Hey man, you might want to go see a dentist about that...
#Monsterdon
snootification?
#monsterdon
well Karen, will you just run already?
#monsterdon
Horrormones are magic!
Watching #Monsterdon posts flicking by on a Monday morning (well, afternoon now) is always an interesting way to start the week.
You bait mousetraps with cheese. You bait horror protagonists with telephones.
#monsterdon
A little Hulking out. But no snout yet #Monsterdon
You know there's no rule saying you need to stay there and watch this. You _could_ be running right now. #Monsterdon #TheHowling
Jiggly werewolves = best werewolves.
Oh gnarly. #monsterdon
#MonsterdonπΊ π¨ π² π±
but why is he transforming right now?
Well, he HAD nice teeth to start
#monsterdon
literally me when I gotta wake up in the morning
okay this face is fucking creepy
#monsterdon
*yelling at the big dog* why are you wet??
Get that man a hypospray! #Monsterdon
