Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

Well, yeah, AAWIL was Rick Fucking Baker working with a good sized budget (most of which was probably for that scene alone). Look at low budget stuff from around that time though. Every shot of the moon in the HD remaster of The Evil Dead has the blue square surrounding it where they matted it in to the shot. They were counting on three things hiding this:

1. The fact that it was shot on grainy ass 16mm film blown up to 35mm for a theatrical run.
2. That it would be transferred to VHS and mostly viewed on a 20 inch CRT TV that I'm assuming still had tinfoil on the antennas.
3. That they had no fucking idea back in 1979 (when the film was shot) that people would be cleaning up the print of their goofy little horror movie in 2019, because people would be jetting off to Mars in their space buses or whatever by that point.
