The Sheepman

Yes, it’s the Sheepman! Actually, that’s the name of a movie that’s on TCM later tonight (that I haven’t seen), but I’d like to think it’s a horror movie about a were-sheep. So what would happen here is that some sheep-herder would get bitten by another were-sheep, and he would become a were-sheep in the, um, I guess full sun, or something? And then when anyone tried to sheer his wool, he’d bite them, and they’d become were-sheep too, and they’d turn the world back into fertile grasslands and stuff. And all the vegans and environmentalists would cheer! It could be the next big thing in horror movies for the environmental set!

And if that worked, there could be a series of horror movies for stoners and slackers about a were-sloth (!). And whenever anyone got bitten by the were-sloth, they’d just sit around, eat, smoke pot, and let their hair grow out. (Oh, sorry: maybe that’s a better horror movie series for parents of high school-age kids.)
