"The Howling" was released about the same time as this one. Similar transformation effects were used in that one as well.

Special effects artist Rick Baker and director John Landis also worked on Michael Jackson's Thriller video after Jackson saw this movie.

Landis' signature "See You Next Wednesday" is featured in both.

I went through that when I was 13... I call it Puberty!

That's interesting Snake, I never knew about the Wednesday reference. I'll have to break out my other movies now...!
