* Pretty much all of them feature this in some way (though the third one is perhaps the most divisive). ''New Moon Rising'' features a lot of horrifying stuff as well... just not the stuff that the director actually ''intended'' to be horrific.



** '''Everything''' about Eddie Quist qualifies as nightmare fuel

* The werewolves themselves (in the films without SpecialEffectsFailure, namely the first one) are most certainly ''not'' pretty sights. The fact they are often evil people who still have control over themselves leads to a lot of ItCanThink moments. Eddie Quist isn't a mindless predator, he's a super powered serial killer.

Added DiffLines:

* While the manner of Richard's transformation to a werewolf in the fourth film is so bizarrely off-the-wall that it almost comes across as comical, it's hard to deny that the effects are gruesomely effective in depicting Richard's flesh liquefying and dropping off his bones, before the flesh of a werewolf forms around his skeleton.

Added DiffLines:

* What lycanthropy does to someone. It's not a a gift, but an obvious curse. Bill goes from a devoted vegetarian who, while obviously considering Marcia Quist attractive, is faithful to his wife to scarfing down meat, engaging in adultery, and even slapping Karen when she brings up her suspicions between the two.

Even Marsupials had its moment, IMHO.

* "I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind." Right before Eddie's transformation, he pulls ''part of his brain out through a bullet hole in his head.''
