One of the best and most fun werewolf movies of the last couple of decades is without question Eric Red’s Bad Moon. If you’ve never seen it… seek it out! Today Red shared with Arrow in the Head several never-before-seen storyboards from the film. Dig ’em below, and click here for more!

The highlight of my movie BAD MOON is the climactic dog werewolf fight involving a battle-to-the death between the family German shepherd and the wolf man the uncle has become,” Red tells the site. “It was a unique action sequence unlike anything that had been filmed before because of its integration of animal action and creature effects. This complicated set piece had to be coordinated with live animals, special makeup effects, animatronics, dog dummies, pyro, and other physical effects, so it had to be storyboarded with intricate precision. Here’s the storyboards for the dog werewolf fight. As you can see, the final sequence was pretty close to how it was pre-viz’d!

Bad Moon stars Mariel Hemingway, Michael Pare, and Mason Gamble and was released in 1996.
