Feb 27 09 1:20 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I know that in the films of the 50s, it was common for people to turn into animal type creatures. I've been thinking about all I've seen, and started thinking about possible animals that could have been used. For example, there's the anteater. It doesn't sound harmful to a human, but the claws of an anteater are powerful and sharp. They would rip any victim to shreds. What kind of animals that weren't used would you liked to have seen?

OK, strike the kangaroo and let's go with THE WERE-OPOSSUM OF SKELETON MARSH. Just because the marsupials seem especially funny to me. Actually, that would be kind of creepy, a man-possum dropping down into frame onto some unsuspecting victim, dangling from a spanish moss-draped tree on a long pink tail!

Feb 27 09 1:28 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Not too long ago, I did a Men Into Beasts Thru Science thread that should probably be mentioned here. "There is a lot of money tied up in this film and people expect to hear a boom when something blows up, so I'll give them a boom." George Lucas as quoted by Harlan Ellison's WATCHING

Feb 27 09 2:16 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'd add THE WEREWOLF, RETURN OF THE FLY (Guinea Pig Man!) and THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE, but yeah, the giant bugs and alien invaders probably outnumber the animal people.

Feb 27 09 2:40 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I wouldn't include The Werewolf, since he just gets hairy and fangy and doesn't become an actual on-all-fours wolf. (On screen, anyway.)

Feb 27 09 2:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Huh? Well, then neither do the WASP WOMAN or THE FLY really become true wasps or flies, they're "animal type creatures" as stated in the original post. I guess CULT OF THE COBRA would be also an example where someone temporarily becomes a real animal.
