For me, it was 1979. I was three years old and have a vague memory of an episode of the original Battlestar Galactica where humans were being changed into hairy creatures while they were stuck inside coffins in the wall. I remember it sticking with me. Something about being confined in a small space while being changed into another creature against your will. Does anyone know what this episode was? I cannot seem to find it.

The transformation scene in An American Werewolf in London sparked my interest in werewolves when I was a bit older. Sorsha's pig transformation in Willow continued a pattern of intense interest in being forced to change into an animal against your will. For a long time it was mostly about the transformation itself. I wanted it to happen to me and had an unhealthy obsession with the idea. As I got older it changed, as fetishes do. Seeing the absolutely terrible Howling 3 was a revelation. The special effects were as bad as they get but seeing a female werewolf naked (the birth scene) and the few female transformations changed everything. These scenes still do it for me. Now it is all about female werewolves for me, as some of you may know.

How far back can you remember yours taking hold and what media sparked it?
