Stephen King describes it perfectly in the script:. The church is a wild shambles of lurching, fighting, singing werewolves. At this point the lights flicker and turn off and the whole church becomes bathed in twilight blue.
The shadows are contrasted hard in the darkness and the visuals take on an extremely stylized look. The Reverend lifts up his hands and rears back, his mouth and eyes open wide. He appears against a flat black backdrop and it appears as though it were a comic-book style frame that might have fallen out of Creepshow The screenplay adds in one final note of nightmare-fuel before the Reverend awakes.
Seeing all that he can handle, he turns to flee from the chapel only to find himself face to face with:. In the end, both the script and the film end the sequence in the same way. He issues several words to himself as he lies in the dark, words that hold deeper meaning when considered in context with the remainder of the film:.
Let it end. Please let it end. The world of Stephen King is one most horror fans hold near and dear to their hearts. Silver Bullet embodies the essence of that idea.
A film as full of whimsy and love as it is dark consequence and fear. Peppered with amazing practical effects, the film is a fun ride, running through the tropes of a Stephen King horror movie as though it were a theme park.
The screenplay is evident of this, from the conversationalist style to the outlandish horror set pieces, and the filmmakers did a remarkable job bringing it to life. In the interview, he recalls having a lab set up in the basement where they would prep the actors before sending them to the chapel. Between himself, artist Matthew Mungle and their team they were responsible for elaborate bladder effects, remote control animation for the wolves, punching hair work and hand-laid make-up and prosthetics that had to be completed on the day.

Still, as preposterous as a church full of werewolves is, the reason it all works so well is its function in the narrative. The world of Silver Bullet is an inviting one, a familiar one, a place that should be safe.
And, as its dangers are revealed, so too is the hollowness that sits below that veil of safety.

King even penned the screenplay himself from his short story 'The Cycle of the Werewolf' , but since he was also responsible for the awful Maximum Overdrive, that's no solid proof of quality.
