Line 11:
* In the film version of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', [[The Dragon]] consumes enough of Jekyll's serum to tower over the real Mr. Hyde.
{{quote| '''Mr Hyde:''' Not the whole thing!}}
* Appears [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|out of freakin' nowhere]] in the ''[[Lost in Space]]'' [[The Movie|movie]]. {{spoiler|Dr. Smith}} is attacked by an alien bug and somehow this transforms him into a [[Special Effects Failure|distracting CGI creature]]. Bonus points for [[Lampshade Hanging]] the "well, we couldn't kill you as a human but [[What Measure Is a Non
* An early idea for ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' grand finale was to [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|show Aragorn battling Sauron]] in the last battle. Sauron (just an [[Faceless Eye|gigantic red eye]] up to this point) would first be seen as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Annatar.jpg tempting angelic bishonen] (Kate Winslet in cameo) who then transform into the gigantic armored fighter seen in the first movie's prologue. The filmmakers eventually decided that this was silly (and an inconsistency, since they had decided that Sauron wasn't supposed to be powerful and capable of fighting without his ring) and replaced the armored Sauron with a troll.
** There was a captivating piece of concept art for the "[[Bishonen Line|pretty-boy]]" Sauron: an angelic albino possessing an otherwordly beauty...[[Red Right Hand|except for his eyes, fiery red-on-black, exactly like the flaming eye of his other form]]. [[Glamour Failure|Furthermore, a close look at his face reveals that the flesh around his eyes has subtly began to crack like plaster...]]
*** This is because Sauron is a Maia (angel), sort of like Gandalf. The beautiful side was his original form and he used it to corrupt Aragorn's ancestors. Eru Ilúvatar destroyed Numenor and Sauron lost his body. He recovered, but could never regain his beautiful form and had come up with a badass one instead. Thus the above scenario would have violated canon, but that probably wouldn't have bothered the film makers since they had already swapped Sauron's physical book-form for a giant red eyeball.
* Dracula and his brides in ''[[Van Helsing (Film)|Van Helsing]]'' can turn into harpy-esque bat things. And in the finale, {{spoiler|Van Helsing himself}} becomes a werewolf to battle Dracula, who has turned into a giant demon thing.
* In the 2002 live action ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' movie, Scrappy[[Face Heel Turn|(!)]] turns into a demonic version of himself with razor sharp claws and teeth, a big muscular body, wild looking eyebrows, enhanced agility and strength- A DEEP BOOMING VOICE [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and a horrid case of bad breath]].
* According to the bonus features on the DVD of the first ''[[Blade]]'' movie, this was the original ending of the film, with villain Deacon Frost transforming into the blood god La Magra (who looked like a giant CGI red tornado). However, the filmmakers were struck with a jolt of good sense and realized that it would detract from the climax, having just spent the entire film building up Frost as the main villain. Instead, {{spoiler|La Magra possesses Frost, granting him nigh-invincibility and fighting prowess}}.
** Played straight with Dracula in the third film.
Line 32:
* ''[[The Witches of Eastwick]]'' has the scene where Jack Nicholson's character becomes a giant and then after the girls smash the wax voodoo doll of him becomes a worm-like monster.
* In the 1985 vampire film ''[[Fright Night]]'' the vampires have three phases of transformation, the first is typically like a normal human, the second is like a normal human but with fangs, and the third phase is a [[Demon Head|extremely crazy looking monstrous creature]] with [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]. At the end Jerry Dandridge (the main vampire) turns into a human/bat hybrid thing, gets hit by sunlight and bursts into flames and finally dies. Interestingly enough, the vampiric version of Amy is in fact a recycled version of the rejected librarian ghost from ''Ghostbusters''.
* ''[[Resident Evil Extinction (Film)|Resident Evil Extinction]]'' has the big bad evil scientist injecting himself with a massive dose of secret formula and then mayhem ensues. So does "[[Resident Evil Degeneration]]" {{spoiler|Except that in Degeneration, he was more of a [[Well
* In [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[Coraline (Film)|Coraline]]'', after {{spoiler|The Other Mother loses her temper with Coraline and tries to stop her from escaping, she gets [[Glamour Failure|less and less human-looking]]. At first, she simply becomes [[Lean and Mean|inhumanly tall and gaunt]]; at the climax, she turns into what is best described as a spider-woman with giant sewing needles for limbs.}}
* The main villain in the 1980s Eddie Murphy Vehicle ''[[The Golden Child]]'' spends most of the film looking like actor Charles Dance. At the Final Battle, and with no foreshadowing anywhere in the film, he transforms into a large, bony, winged demon (stop-motion animated to boot), whereupon Murphy kills him with a special knife.
