I decided to give “Betsy” its own thread since I have a lot of updates, so if anyone knows how to copy and paste the pertinent messages from “Female werewolf needles in a haystack” to this thread, be my guest. I’ve been writing back and forth to the writer/director of “Betsy” this week over questions concerning the movie and, particularly, its TF scene, and I have Bad News, Good News, Bad/Good News (depending on how your view the subject), and Bad News That Was Turned Into Good News:
Bad News
Betsy will not have a muzzle or tail, which is unfortunate since I feel an ideal werewolf has both. Also, this makes the tagline, “A new shape on an old tail” very misleading, but the director said the tagline was concocted by the marketing team, not him. The reason for not including a muzzle or tail is because he’s trying to do a serious (or at least semi-serious) take on the werewolf myth, and since their budget is so low, it would’ve been too difficult to create a convincing muzzle or tail without it coming off as unintentionally comical, which I suppose makes sense. As a result, the final werewolf will not be a huge, hulking monster but more in the vein of the wolfman. Again, unfortunate, since he and his makeup team did a stellar job (on such a low budget) for the large, practical-suit monster in his last movie, “Don’t F in the Woods.”
Good News
The werewolf will be bipedal, not quadruped. (I’m assuming most people prefer their werewolves on two feet.) Also, the “big” TF scene was mostly inspired by “AWIL” and as a result will be around the same length, 2 to 3 minutes. Again, don’t expect this scene to be the female version of “AWIL” since their budget is so low (and they have no Rick Baker), but it’s nice to see them shooting for an approximate, low-budget version of this. The TF will even include bladders, though they will mostly be used underneath Betsy’s clothes showing, e.g., her back expanding.
Bad/Good News (depending on how you view the subject)
The TF will be painful. This is bad news for me, since I enjoy pleasurable TFs, but I know many people on this board prefer painful ones. There will be pleasure involved though in the wolf killings, and, towards the end of the movie when Betsy realizes she’s a werewolf and begins remembering her kills, this will fill her with pleasure as the wolf takes over. More bad/good news: there will be some skin ripping, specifically in her arms and parts of her face, but it won’t be over-the-top like “Trick ‘r Treat,” according to the director.
Bad News That Was Turned Into Good News (thanks to moi)
The TF scene originally wasn’t going to feature much clothes ripping or nudity, and to me, this was the biggest shame. In my mind, you can’t have a classic TF without both, not to mention Kelci, the actress playing the titular werewolf, is already pretty much naked in the movie’s poster, so to not feature nudity in the TF scene would be false advertising, to say the least. The director said the reason for this is because they’re shooting the movie in the winter in Ohio (in 2 weeks), so Kelci couldn’t be running around outside naked as the wolf. Also, it was in her contract that she would be clothed as the wolf, and she wanted a lot more for nudity in the film. Well, Merry Christmas, boys (and girls?), because I decided to come to the rescue and throw my money at this project. I’ve been looking for great female werewolf movies pretty much all my life, so I know how rare a good TF scene is. Kelci is gorgeous (

I decided to match what she wanted in order to include ripped clothing and nudity (chest) in the “big” TF scene. However, because they’re still going to be shooting the werewolf scenes outside in the winter, we reached a compromise where she will have torn clothing covering her “bits” when she’s on the hunt.
Even Better News
Because the Indiegogo fundraiser was successful and surpassed its goal, there are leftover signed DVDs to purchase at the movie company’s website. Since I spent almost as much on this project as a small, used car, you guys can chip in 10 bucks for the DVD. Remember, it may take a long time for distribution of this movie (up to a year or more), so this is your last chance to see the movie before anyone else. (DVDs will be released to the Indiegogo campaigners and people who buy it now in June.) There are only a few copies left, so get them before they’re gone. Again, I’m not going to post the movie or TF scene when it’s released to the investors. The website to buy a copy is here:
