Weregrinches and the transformation process

Description:
Weregrinches (latin name: Lycanthius grinchus) are a very rare and unique species of lycanthrope that mainly appear around Christmas time but sometimes appear before and after xmas as well.


Appearance:

Weregrinches are covered in thick green fur, have pointed ears, small vampirish fangs, glowing eyes, long black clawed fingernails/toenails, a long mane, bushy eyebrows, and a grinch-like muzzle. Females tend to have a much longer mane, slitted eyes, shorter claws and darker lips.



Behaviour traits:



Most weregrinches have various grinch-like traits and characteristics such as super keen senses and amazing super agility, stealth and strength. They also tend to growl at their enemies. Weregrinches are also very mysterious and elusive.







Alignment:



Weregrinches are not good or evil but are in fact neutral. Weregrinches are often misunderstood because of their rather bad reputation. Weregrinches are sometimes feared by humans especially around Christmas time.



Most notable example: Jim Carrey.


Combat:



Weregrinches are very excellent fighters and are also very stealthy and clever. They make great ninjas too. They are also very deadly especially when under emotional stress and they transform whenever they're angry just like Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk. Weregrinches have a variety of powerful attacks including their claw and bite attacks.



Transforming:





Weregrinches transform whenever they are under emotional stress especially if they are angry. They become particularly grinch-like around the Christmas season.



Transferring the curse:



There are two ways a weregrinch can turn another person into one of it's kind, one way is by bitting them and the other is by scratching them.







Becoming a weregrinch:



There are several ways a person can be transformed into a weregrinch, being bitten or scratched by one is the most common and basic way of doing it, but are also there are tons of other ways to do it as well. Santa sometimes gives people the curse of weregrinch as an alternative to giving them coal if they've been bad, and sometimes he gives it to them as a special bonus reward if they've been nice or good all year. Also being bitten by Jim Carrey also helps, seeing as he is the original weregrinch.



Now let's say you were to do a transformation of me into a weregrinch, now tell me how would do it?

I'd like mine to be slow and gradual and an affectionate parody of a typical horror movie transformation scene, and painful at scary at first. First of all it would probably start off with me developing some rather grinch-like traits such as glowing yellow eyes, a wicked cheshire cat grin (think Jack Nicholson sort of thing only creepier), super keen senses, enhanced stealth, agility and super strength, and growling a little. Then the first part to change would be the hands, green fur slowly starting to sprout on my palms as my fingernails grow into long black claws while hands become more grinch-like, same with the feet except the shoes would burst at the seams to reveal that my green fur is sprouting on them, toenails growing into long black clawed ones while the feet grow more grinch-like, i'd probably get taller and wider as well. Then my hair would develop the consistancy and texture of grinch hair then grow into a long wild mane then gradually turn green, then for the face green fur would slowly sprout on it as my eyebrows become all bushy and green, my eyes would be turning an eerie yellowish colour with dark green pupils, followed by the teeth becoming sharp fangs, and finally the tip of my nose turning black and shifting upward as a grinch-like muzzle forms on my face, either that or the nose stretching out into a more grinch-like fashion with the muzzle developing slowly. Also possibly i'd develop a deeper more bestial voice, or maybe get Jim Carrey's normal sounding voice (not the sean connery accent he had in the movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas) with a slightly menacing more demon-like echo, with of course a few growls thrown in.





Also I would probably choose to keep my humanity, as i think i would probably be able to transform at will. But some grinch-like urges would probably kick in such as the sudden taste for garbage or maybe the tendency to growl.

Greatest Werewolf film ever

There have been many great werewolf films. But the best one has to be American Werewolf In London. There are many things we love about this great werewolf flick from the 80's such as the man memorable lines ("Have you tried talking to a corpse? It's boring!", "I can assure you that this is not the least bit amusing.") the lovely London scenary, the perfect blend of horror and comedy, and the great makeup effects of mr Rick Baker. The things we love the most about it are the famous transformation scene and the makeup effects. We love the scene where Griffin Dune's character (who was killed) comes back from the dead to warn his friend (David Naughton) of the horrible things that are going to happen- we especially love how he gets more and more dead-like throughout the movie- although they replaced him with a skeletal puppet for the porno theatre scene.

Our favourite "Not-Quite-Dead" look of Griffin Dune's character is this one here: Now a lot of people tend to focus the red, dangly bit of flesh hanging from his neck rather than his performance- but me and my brother are an exception. We focused on his performance and what was going on rather then the red piece of flesh hanging from his neck.

American Werewolf In London is famous for it's transformation scene- which was done by the brilliant makeup artist Rick Baker (he's one of our heroes) who is one of the greatest makeup artists ever. American Werewolf In London's transformation scene was like no other, it was an excruciatingly painful process. AmericanWerewolf In London is one of our favourite horror films, our other favourite werewolf horror movies are the Howling series, we also like Teen Wolf.

My brother has this friend who works in the makeup buisness- he knows all about how makeup and other effects for some movies were done- he has plenty of makeup secrets to share too. He once told us the secret of how they did the Chestbuster scene from Alien. John Landis directed American Werewolf In London- but before that he directed Blues Brothers and Animal House. We've done quite a few homages to American Werewolf In London in our many tv shows, movies and animated series. For example- the story of how my character in Animal House Chronicles first became a werebelushi is exactly like what happened in the movie and his first transformation into one is a direct satire of the famous wolf transformation scene from that film. We also have a zombie student in our Animal House thing who is a lot similar to Griffin Dune's character from the film. Our horror comedy National Lampoon's Curse Of The Werebelushi pays homage to this film and Animal House at the same time. We'll be paying another homage to American Werewolf In London in one of our latest works, one titled An American Gastonian in Florida. In it my character is a Gaston fan who gets chosen to play the part of Gaston in a stage version of Beauty And The Beast, unfortunately he gets a little too into the part and ends up slowly turning into the character in a homage to the famous transformation scene from American Werewolf In London. It's one of the first movies we've done that features me turning into a cartoon character. The transformation scene is going to be a direct satire of David Naughton's werewolf transformation from the movie.

American Werewolf In London is and always will be the greatest werewolf film ever made in our eyes. It's one of our all time favourite movies with transformation scenes in them, we also love the work of Canadian director David Cronenberg (especially The Fly, Scanners, Videodrome, The Brood, Crash, Dead Zone and ExistenZ).
