Rick wrote: I can buy into the darkening wardrobe notion on a purely technical level. It's just the sort of thing that costume designers and wardrobe people would think is very deep and helps to validate their existence. The sort of thing they'd run by the producer and director who would nod and say, "Sure, sounds good." The rest of it, the "Saneman" sign and such, while interesting, I'd be much more likely to chalk up to happenstance. But what do I know? Interesting post. I've read some stuff by Dillard before, trying to figure out where.

Was it published anywhere accessible?-- and now, of course, see it every time I watch the movie. It IS an "odd" name, and why, indeed, was it chosen over Smith or Jones or Llanwallaghouafnyx unless to underscore some point? The theory and the movie would work better, I think, if the movie didn't have a visible werewolf until the very end... or even the on-screen gravedigger's death or Larry's footsie transformation. ...
