Ted said to his nephew that a werewolf can change at any moon, crescent or quarter moon not just a full moon when watching Werewolf Of London.
In most werewolf films it's always the full moon, in The Howling they change at will, the original Wolf Man made no mention of changing at a full moon only in sequels.
Jack Nicholson changed at a quarter moon in Wolf.
If it's any moon than the transformation is caused by tidal effects.
shareFunny thing is even through Ted said a werewolf can change at any moon the film shows only the full moon.
shareIf Ted changes at a half moon would he look like his third phase when transforming were he looks like the Wolfman?
sharemaybe he just has more restraint during a half moon. he seemed reluctant to even use the handcuffs when the full moon was shown.
shareYeah he was nearly a lot of the time breaking loose.
Saying he maybe able to hold the transformation in during a half moon?
That could definitely be the case, or perhaps the wolf took more control as time passed. Perhaps the moon is irrelevant, and he just stated that a werewolf can change under any moon as a generality.

Poem from the Wolfman
Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright.
Like Bad Moon Wolfman could change every night and has a dog who can sense he's a werewolf.
Might be a drop in atmospheric scattering when the Earth blocks the sun.
