Movie monsters: Better before CGI?

A look through some iconic movie creature effects. Less an investigation and more of a celebration as I explore how visual and practical effects artists have used lights, misdirection, make up, CGI and so much more to transform a human into Mr Hyde, a werewolf or a vampire. How they've used those same tricks to age and de-age characters and morph one performer into another. It was surprising for me to learn how the same artists would return to a transformation effect having perfected their techniques. Often decades later. I also explain how the filmmakers achieved the effects famously seen in Sh! The Octopus (1937) and Ben-Hur (1925). And talk about the controversy over replacing Rick Baker’s work in the Wolfman (2010). I've probably missed out dozens of other, better examples, please don't get mad, but do let me know in the comments.
