Werewolves and Vampires - Cinematic Transformations.
George Waggner’s is among the most recognised of the early werewolf films, the 1941 film The Wolf Man and Tod Browning’s equally famous, 1931 Dracula established many of the supernatural and mythic “laws” of their respective sub- genres that remain prevalent in popular cinematic experience. The myths themselves “shifting” reflecting the era and the cinematic experience, as can be seen by Lon Chaney Jr.’s portrayal of the not quite sympathetic hero, who becomes the slightly more sympathetic monster. Other modern were creature lores, such as death by silver, aversion to wolfsbane, even the hint of the sexual and Freudian nature of the werewolf, were initiated with The Wolf Man.

Artistic effects added to a video production in order to enhance the production by creating drama, enhancing the mood or furthering the story. Special effects may vary from the limited addition of patterns or the mixing of several video images together, to sophisticated digital effects such as picture compression, page flipping and three-dimensional effects. Special effects are usually created using SEGs.

www.filmschools.com/glossary.html
Special effects (abbreviated SPFX or SFX) are used in the film, television, and entertainment industry to create effects that cannot be achieved by normal means, such as depicting travel to other star systems. They are also used when creating the effect by normal means is prohibitively expensive, such as an enormous explosion. They are also used to enhance previously filmed elements, by adding, removing or enhancing objects within the scene.
