One of Rick Baker's makeup tests on himself for 2010 Wolfman. Might even prefer this to the final deal.

Surf's up, dudes. Gorilla Suit Day two weeks late is better than no Gorilla Suit Day at all. Thx to Eric, Dave, Eli, best rilla crew around. Better pics later ... #edgarilla #gorillasuit #gorillasuitday

A rare shot of the Eddie Quist changeo head in The Howling (1981) by Rob Bottin & crew.

Promo pic for 1983's Dog Police video, great spfx by Bill Knopfler, filmed at Memphis' fabled Antenna Club.

Gorka Otkoa from 2011's hugely underrated Lobos De Arga in his pictorial transform with minor spoilers. Was lucky enough to see a very rare US showing at the time, still love it.

You're walking down a convention hallway, late for your 6pm game. A large stone wizard stands in the hallway, his piercing gaze sending a cold dart through your soul. If you choose to engage, turn to page 88 ... magic missile, turn to page 105 ... give him your remainder nachos, turn to page 11

Followed this during filming, but lost track that it actually dropped. Low budget b-movieness that flipping through, looks breezy fun. (Most low budget wwolf movies these days are frustrating trash). No transform gold but I dig the prosthetics. Support creators, also over on the YouTubes.

2010 Wolfman, Benicio's stunt wolf, Spencer Wilding

Collapsible core cast of me arms I built a while back, which did the job but last time I checked, would need too much TLC to be useful again.

Two dumb days away ... #gorillasuitday #gorillasuit #edgarilla

Gino Acevedo, Xander Forterie, Rich Mayberry, all working SPFX for WETA during LoTR trilogy, also got to be the dwarves from the opening prologue.

Dean Jones contemplates life choices in Bob Schiffer's makeup chair for 1976's The Shaggy D.A. The DVD's bonus behind the scenes featurette is a good excuse to keep your physical media.

Can't recall how it surfaced but bits of Bill Munns' Arcane monster from 1982's Swamp Thing showed up at an auction in 2022.

Six days away, y'all ... #edgarilla #gorillasuit

Anyone recall whose (were)skunk this is? Found in my archives. Nicely done, beautiful sclerals, very likely NFT fur all around. Tag or chime in, pretty pls.

Various Lon Jr mid wolfout pics ...

Ozzywolf, Greg Cannom's spfx in a recent MOJO Sabbath special issue. Watch Christopher Stone's Howling transform to get a taste of what a Bark At The Moon music video transform would've liked like. #ozzywolf

Hang in there y'all ... #rogersparklion #rogersparkslyon #werelion

Hang in there y'all ... #edgarilla #gorillasuit

Filming for the movie "The Naked Ape" March '72 in downtown Chicago.

Don't blink! Only 12 days until Gorilla Suit Day ... #edgarilla #gorillasuit #gorillasuitday

The dissolve transform from Earl Owensby's "Wolfman" (1979), also shot in NC ala "Silver Bullet". Owensby made 40+ films, and his archived website claimed a "Wolfman 2" was being developed. AWiL / The Howling resuscitated a near-dead genre 2 years later ...

Wolfman 2010 behind the scenes posted elsewhere, no one mentions the mag - 1957's French Cinéma 57, #20, that "Le Fantastique" issue fully devoted to movie monsters etc. Likely Benicio wolfed out (not stunt wolf Spencer W.) b/c BdT mentioned in interviews he'd bring in old mags 4 Rick Baker et al.

Bob was the best.

A rough, anodyne werebear sketch in WED tonight on the first clean buck I could find, first time pushing clay in 9 months or so. Far from a keeper, just trying ideas for a potential project with friends.

Hey chump, get like a banana, and split.

New Year, New Me, rawr. #werelion #rogersparkslyon #rogersparklion

Chaney Jr & Costello promo shot for 1948's A&C Meet Frankenstein. Emile LaVigne had taken over spfx makeup duties from Jack Pierce. Lou himself would sit in the monster makeup chair five years later for A&C Meet Dr Jekyll ... or at least some of the time, when his stuntman wasn't sitting in for him.

Don't forget to invite Baron Ironbone & Fray The Wizard to your New Year's Eve party! #wererats #baronironbone #fraythewizard

Dick Smith's prehensile handiwork (footiwork?) in 1980's Altered States.

Gorillaing ain't easy. #gorillasuit

I hope the Christmas Ape brought you everything you asked for this year. #edgarilla #gorillasuit

Getting ready for the Big Day. Unfortunately the reindeer are on strike so we had to hire the Wizard of Oz flying monkeys at triple scale. #edgarilla #gorillasuit #christmasape

Pigeons, giant eagles, owlbear chicks - all the same job hazard to a stone wizard. #obozleyus #stonewizard

Pretty sure this poster was made for an overseas (UK?) rerelease, hence the use of Karloff's 1953 Hyde instead of Lon Jr, which lead to a fanfic convo between myself and buddy Rock wherein Larry Talbot is slipped a potion mickey from Dr Jekyll. Dreamy sigh.

I built two wererats at the same time for a friend's DCC game appearance. Here's Baron Ironbone the barbarian sizing up his competition. I desperately wish I had better pics of these guys, and this poor guy deserved better armor. Maybe someday ...

Apologies for a rare AI art share, but a friend was generating action figure packaging of all my characters this am, so forgive the self centeredness. Thought it was funny this variant is wearing holiday corduroys and packing heat etc.

Fare thee well, Bob and Tracy.

Funny to see Junoon make the rounds again - that movie is a blast. Related: flashback to my weretiger in the makeup chair. #weretiger #thomasptiger
