Rob Bottin, the wizard of ooze, discusses The Thing, 1982: “There is no movie to this date that has this much mechanical and special makeup effects in it. Ever.”

One of the most iconic BTS images from The Howling was for a prop never used in the final film! Bottin had a lot of woes when trying to decide how the final film's werewolves would be realized as, deciding to opt out of the 'man in a suit' method.

It was decided werewolves would be realized as a rod puppet, similar to those in Japanese theatre. The eight feet tall puppet was designed and constructed by Jeff Shank (along with Steve Shank), and impressed Dante and Bottin; the puppet had a clearly wolf-like frame, rather than clearly being an actor in a suit.

However, the rod puppet eventually was rejected due to being unable to walk (Dante wanted the werewolves to be seen walking) and also having potential problems they weren't sure they could sort out before finishing, meaning it was never used in the final film. Bottin wished to have another puppet built for close-ups, but this was shot down by Shank and Dante. The final film would have a return to the 'man in suit' method.
