Three werewolf movie ideas:

Lycanthropy as metaphor for menopause instead of puberty. Not sure where to go with this, just tired of people wolfing out in their teen years. Yes, scary body changes, lots of hair, we get it.

A global conspiracy of werewolves who are shaping military policy to develop weaponry which could blow up the moon. They want to create a ring for the Earth so that they can stay in wolf form permanently, see.

A form of lycanthropy where lots of people have the potential, but it would take far more moonlight than even the brightest full moon could provide. Which has no impact, until astronauts start landing on the moon and being exposed to thousands of times more moonlight than normal.

Think of it as a toxin: you just need to administer a sufficient dose.

So then one has to wonder how many of these you'd have to fire to have the desired effect:

Oh and casting silver bullets? Pain-In-The-Ass:

I've done a fair bit of investment-casting of silver: not too bad. That was actually what ilmarinen and I were on about because he thought it'd be funny to actually have some silver bullets. Way slower than standard lead-bullet-casting, but significantly easier than copper-jacketed bullets, for what that's worth.

So, what would happen if an unwitting human-shaped lycanthrope started taking colloidal silver?

Maybe it would be like Kryptonite, you could use silver in small enough quantities to keep a 'thrope under control, not enough to kill it.
