But did you know that the idea of humans shape-shifting into apex predator animals isn't just confined to wolves or the European continent? Around the world in every culture there are  legends & lore of human shape-shifters, meaning a person or being with the ability to change their physical form at will, who turn into animals such as, lions, tigers, bears, and even hyenas!

Godzilla: Singular Point Anime Review by Simon Cary Enoch Hanna-Barbera (1978 - 1980) By http://animesgoldsilver2.blogspot.com/2013/07/desenhos-animados-desenhos-animados.html, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4186579 Godzilla is no stranger to animation.

This list starts off with a movie about none other than the most legendary lake monster of them all, the infamous Loch Ness Monster! Independently made in 1981, The Loch Ness Horror  is probably best categorized as a "so bad it's good" movie, which is a genre I adore. It is surprising there aren't more Loch Ness Monster movies, but out of the ones that exist this one is my favorite.  An example of the ridiculous dialogue: Kathleen: Is it true Mr. Dean that Am
