alternate anti werewolf strategies

I saw The Beast Must Die (1974) on the Svengooli show on MeTV on Sat. 08-28-2021.

Naturally I can't help thinking of alternate anti werewolf strategies.

Tom Newcliffe could have built a new wing to his mansion for guests to use, a guest wing with very luxurious furnishings. And that wing should have been higly fortified without appearing to be, being solidly constructed and with very solid doors which could be locked from a central control. and the main part of the house should have had its doors and windows also unobtrusively upgraded.

And all of the windows in the guest rooms could have very solid shutters which could be closed from central control, preferrably very quietly so as not to wake the guests when they shut. Possibly the shutters could be make of very strong transparent material that would continue to let moonlight into the rooms. And possibly there would be tiny holes in the strong transparent shutters to let breezes into the guest rooms.

Or possilby Tom cold have closed window screens from a central control. Those screens would look a lot like normal screens, especailly in the dark, but the metal in the screens would be very strong and sharp to cut anything that leaped through the screens in an attempt to leave their bedroom. And naturally all the metal in those screens would be a silver alloy or else painted with silver paint. If a werewolf leaped though the screens they would be cut in many places and silver would get in all of the cuts.

Tom could have the gardeners bring potted wolfbane plants and put them outside each guest window so the wolflbane pollen would float into the guest rooms.

And when the closed circuit tv showed that a guest seemed to be asleep, Tom could press a button which cause a ceiling light fixture to retract, revealing a hitherto hidden skylight, with above the skylight a mirror mounted on a motorized telescope mount which would track the full moon and stay angled so that the moonlight would always fall into the room.

So Tom would make sure the werewol turns as soon as posisble and then have it trappped in the guest room.

Apparently humans sometimes breathe in silver dust or eat or drink silver or silver compounds, and excessive silver intake can cause toxic effects.

If merely touching a silver candlestick or putting a silver bullet in the mouth can be fatal to a werewolf, the fatal dose for werewolves should be much smaller than the dose that would cause even minor effects on normal humans. So Tom could have mixed silver dust in with the spices and seasonings on the food he served, and probably nobody would eat enough silver to notice an unusual taste or suffer any ill effects - except for the werewolf. Or once the guests were asleep Tom could have used the guest wing's ventillation system to spread silver dust in the air to their bedrooms.

But Tom wanted the thrill of the hunt for a werewolf, instead of wanting to protect people from a werewolf, and so he didn't do any of those sensible things.
