Working on a horror script...

When asking about the length of the transformation, you should make it fit the plot of the story. You don't have to describe the plot here, but it's something for you to keep in mind.

I'd like a more drawn-out transformation myself, but it really has to fit the plot of the story, which you're keeping under wraps here.

I don't think I'd have the TF itself quite as fast as David Naughton's in "An American Werewolf," mainly because I'd like the protagonist to have more time to react to his predicament. Hence, "over a single night," which is basically a compromise between a two-minute TF (as seen in AWIL) and something which develops over a month or so (Cronenberg's Fly).

That being said, I don't want to divulge TOO much of the plot, for personal reasons. My apologies if you need all that information to make a proper assessment.
