Nostalgia for the Morph Effect

Looks like I'm not the only one who remembers how awesome the morph effect was.

Morphing used computers to actually show the transformation without cutting away. It may not sound like a big deal now, but at the time it was so new and so exciting that it became all the rage. The horror movie The Howling was essentially a vehicle for the special effect, and an entire TV series, Manimal, (widely regarded as the worst SciFi series ever made) was made just to use that special effect.
