The episode provides examples of:
- "Werewolf Skin" is plenty creepy.
- While the opening scene with the hammy bus driver is a little off-putting, it more than makes up for it later on with its rural setting in the town of Wolf Creek (no, not that one) and the ominous, decrepit Marling house across the street from Alex's aunt and uncle.
- Alex burying the werewolf skins as they come to life, writhing and clawing through the bag while he shovels dirt over them. His aunt and uncle stammer towards the pit like zombies, desperate for their skin while he begs them to keep away just a little longer so the moon will end their curse... by destroying the skins in a huge explosion.
- At the end, after the titular werewolf skins have been destroyed, Alex closely examines one of his photographs, which shows Hannah removing her "skin". Then she walks into the room, telling Alex she doesn't bite. While the book spells it out clearer, Alex's fate is left unknown here, making it that much more unsettling.Hannah: What's the matter? I told you I don't bite.
