Differences from the Book

 * In the episode the dog is named Vandal, not Wolf (due to the dog breaking the door in when it first appears).
 * The ending in the episode is slightly different from the book. In the book, Grady transforms into the werewolf and runs into the swamp with Wolf. In the episode, Grady walks outside and howls at the moon, but the viewer doesn't see his transformation.
