Am I the only one to have a problem with...

As mentioned in the film the wolfman becomes more werewolf depending on the moon. I think the peacemaker was used on the swinger because, well the same way the priest tried to run the crippled kid off the road, self defense?

In his dream he was terrified of the church group becoming wolfies. Maybe it was outwith his control at that point? So instead of wolfy attack he used a human one and used the closest weaopn to hand, because the moon wasn't yet full?

No, actually it was pretty amusing to me. But I never thought much of it until people started commenting on it.

This is not a new idea.

In SWAMP THING (1985), the evil scientist/rich man, Dr. Arcane, deliberately drinks his own glowing green dish detergent-like mutagenic formula. Upon ripping his way out of a cocoon, he emerges as a 6'5" werewolf. The Dr. Arcane werewolf evidently still has his human mental faculties. Werewolf grabs a long, medieval sword off the wall and goes after swamp thing with it. In the climatic hand-to-hand combat scene in the daylight Louisiana bayou swamp, swamp thing kills the Dr. Arcane werewolf with its own sword. Creepy yellow goop oozes out of the slain werewolf's chest.

**spoilers***The werewolf didn't go around killing people with a bat. He took the bat away from the guy using it and beat him with it as a macabre irony. The kids find it later as proof that they've found the werewolf. It's just a plot device so that you as the viewer recognize the bat as belonging to the bartender who you know the werewolf murdered. The antagonist having it in his gargage is evidence to prove he's the werewolf

It's called dark humor, or if you prefer, black comedy.

If the werewolf is a baseball fan, who are we to argue?
