I found this interview on You Tube. Apparently it was from the LaserDisc of "The Howling". I wish there was a way to see all the scenes/footage. If you look closely (at 7:15) you can see a werewolf suffocating and collapsing on the left. Then the werewolf trying to open the door accidentally pulls a plank out and falls backwards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKwNF9mhKZE |

The interview is interesting.
I liked the animation. It was very 80's. The suffocating wolf was actually kind of comical.

The stop motion looks so awsome and creepy, I love it.

They should have taken all the footage, structured a story around it and used it for one of the Howling sequels.  |

I love stop motion. That looked so cool, it's a shame they didn't retain more of it and try and blend it in.

Yes it was very cool. As old as it is it looks better than the cgi wolves in Amercian Werewolf in Paris done a decade later.

I wish they still used Stop-Motion in films. Some good examples of it being ED-209 in Robocop, Caine in Robocop 2, The AT-AT walker from Star Wars and everything Ray Harryhausen did. They say it is almost extinct apart from in the U.K. because they cannot afford CGI over here. I think that is why the Terror Dogs in Ghostbusters are so scary/effective. The animated look makes them look alive/demonic/unnatural/supernatural.

Stop motion definitely has its own surreal feel that cant be matched by anything else.
