First and foremost, like everyone already said, they need to have gender-specific 'equipment,' though it wouldn't necessarily need to be highlighted that much. You wouldn't actually need to see anything below the belt to distinguish gender though, assuming that female werewolves are more slender in ...

Do we really need to kill werewolves? They're too cute to kill. Of course we don't. All of us here love them for what they are, but don't forget, some people are xenophobic, stupid, misguided and/or want to eradicate anything that doesn't fully agree with whatever the hell their preaching. African ...

I think the idea we have going is that a werewolf would be able to change from human to wolf and vice versa through a conscious effort, which stress and anger could trigger at an undesired moment because when people are angry, they tend to wish for things they don't actually want. We've seen that m...

Werewolf Support Group That's an idea, and one you could really expand on a lot. The first idea of what that could be that I thought of would be a place where a werewolf could go to meet all the other werewolves in the city, not just to share sentiments and understanding about what it's like to be ...

Even if they didn't have pack mentality, it would be natural for anyone with lycanthropy to seek out other other lycans. A werewolf might start off as a lone wolf, but this would be a lonely lifestyle, so if given the chance, he would seek initiation into a pack or congregate with a few other local ...

That sort of effect itself might have been overdone over time, but if used differently it could be equally as effective. As I suggested in the 'Human Form' thread, a werewolf's greatest concern would be keeping his status as a lycanthrope a secret. There could therefore be some scenes where the risk...

Okay, here's a negetive aspect for you all. How about an allergy to chocolate, carried over from the wolf-man form to the human one.

It might variate from werewolf to werewolf, but I imagine any werewolf that anticipates a shift would go to some lengths to maintain a sense of decency (Phil Donahue and his flunkies will likely throw enough crap at this flick by default). An inexperienced werewolf might neglect to wear proper cloth...

But on the other paw (heheh) they might need to talk to humans while as a werewolf which means they'd at least have to learn some way of comunticating that way Like I said in my previous post, if they had to, they could use sign language, writing, or if there's a big enough pack, demand that the om...

For their human form, the hightened senses of a werewolf could be a bad thing. He might be able to hear and smell better as a human (either through naturally heightened senses, or because he just noticed a lot more as a werewolf and has become adapted to relying on his senses more), but heightened o...

A werewolf should be subject to the same mental strains we are. Our long-term memories are effective, but sometimes we lose ourselves in our emotions and have trouble thinking straight, sometimes to the point that we say and do things we usually wouldn't, especially when dealing with pent-up anger. ...

Realisitcally, I'd say that a werewolf wouldn't be able to talk due to their floppy tongue and extended muzzle, but with some practice and patience, they could probably manage to slur some words together. Learning to talk that way would be a really long process though, as every time they shift back ...

Realistically, it doesn't have to be a silver bullet. Back when it was said that only a silver bullet could kill a werewolf, the most advanced firearms they had available were cannon balls. Silver injected into the blood stream might cause an allergic reaction, but someone trying to hunt a werewolf ...

Lycanthropy being infectuous would be the easiest to tie into a plot, and could also produce the most interesting results. Some people are immunte to some diseases, for example, but can pass them to others, which could be how lycanthropy survived throughout the centuries. It could also be that a lyc...

Actually, it was made a one-man project because Jason Albee had pitched his idea to various networks, including CGI tycoons like Pixar and DreamWorks, most of which were enthusiastic to start filming, but the average price they budgeted the film at came to $2,000,000, which he thought was extremely ...

In the Shaggy/Normal/No fur poll, I suggested the idea that a werewolf's fur would vary based on his/her personality -- a lazy and/or anti-social werewolf would let it grow out while a self-conscious pack leader would try to keep himself well groomed. The same could apply to their choice of how they...

Actually, CGI doesn't have to be that expensive. The CGI-animated movie Kaze: Ghost Warrior budgeted for around $5,000. It's really less of a question of price and more of a matter of effort. Of course, there's nothing to say the movie couldn't implement both CGI and prostetics (CGI for action seque...
