* TrueArtIsAngsty: One of the main selling points of the movie is that it has a DarkerAndEdgier tone with an explicitly supernatural threat and a lot more peril for the main cast in the climax of the film with death as a clear result should they not triumph.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Lawrence Talbot really ''is'' a werewolf. Not that shocking when you know that was the [[Film/TheWolfMan1941 original Wolfman]]'s name.

* FridgeBrilliance: After Theodore's infection, he gives a much better performance as Mr. Hyde in the school play rehearsal. Creator/StephenKing, among others, has cited ''Literature/DrJekyllAndMrHyde'' as the archetypal werewolf story.
* NightmareFuel: The opening sequence shows a scary backdrop at night during a full moon. Sinister music playing in the background, a werewolf heard howling and then the film's title shows in bright red and yellow.
** Alvin's nightmare in the beginning showing him attempting to escape from being hunted down by a werewolf. At first the creature's growls are heard. Then a close up of it's eyeball searching for Alvin as its prey. Then a brief shot of the creature in full view against the moonlight in the scary woods as it attacks Alvin. No wonder he wakes up screaming.
** Theodore's stuffed bunny toy looks a little unnerving to say the least.
** Alvin attempts to fall asleep only to hear the sounds of a werewolf howling again. And this time he wasn't dreaming.
** Theodore walking home late at night after dropping off a gift for his friend and crush Eleanor when he stops and hears growling and howling noises. He calls out for his brothers hoping that it is a prank but nothing. We don't get a good look at the creature but we can see from it's point of view as it ambushes a frightened Theodore from the shrubbery.
** After being bitten by "a dog", Theodore has trouble sleeping. He tosses and turns and growls in his sleep. Then the moonlight illuminates the Mark of The Wolf on his left palm. With scary instrumental music building in the background.
** Theodore's personality and behavioral changes are enough to make even Alvin and Simon concerned. First it was the craving for meat knowing that Theodore doesn't eat meat but then he takes off running at an inhuman high running speed.
** In-Universe, Theodore gives a terrifying performance onstage as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Even the teacher and the principal are shaken up by it.
** When asking Madame Raya for help on curing their brother of being a werewolf. Madame Raya tells Simon and Alvin that there's only one cure: shoot him with a silver bullet. Alvin and Simon are shocked, as this was their baby brother they were referring to and ask her if there was any other way a werewolf can be cured alive.
** Madame Raya warns Alvin and Simon to end Theodore of his werewolf curse before the next wolf moon, otherwise he'll be doomed to become a full-fledged werewolf.
** When Dave goes to Mr. Talbot's to apologize for Alvin breaking his cane, unbeknownst to Dave, Mr. Talbot undergoes a slow horrific transformation under the full moon into a werewolf. His roar is enough to make Dave jump at first. Then when Dave turns to confront Mr. Talbot about his sudden temper tantrum, he is left stuttering in fear over seeing Mr. Talbot in his full werewolf form. Eyes glowing red.
** Dave is a human trying to escape an angry werewolf and only manages to get away out of sheer luck by holding up pieces of a broken cane which contains silver. As he's seen all those old Hollywood movies, he knows that werewolves hate silver. Buying him enough time to escape.
** When Dave runs away from werewolf Mr. Talbot, his first priority is to get to the school as soon as possible and warn the kids.
** When Dave accidentally knocks himself unconscious from running into a light post, instead of harming him, Mr. Talbot turns his attention to the children. Namely Eleanor out on the swings talking to herself.
** When Mr. Talbot breaks into the school in his werewolf form. At first nobody does anything as they believe it's all part of the school play. But the children were in real danger.
** It takes Alvin warning Eleanor that the werewolf she's complaining about isn't wearing makeup, Theodore was a werewolf.
