If I were to be given an unlimited budget and total creative control over a film or TV series production, I would opt for a extreme horror-themed 26 episode superhero series about a world where suddenly, all of the things that go bump in the night no longer feel the need to hide, sending the world into total chaos as the monsters in the closet begin to brutally tear kids apart. Where boogeymen leave behind only blood and gore filled baby cribs and trolls begin feeding on people crossing bridges, among a million other instances.

At the center of the story would be a werewolf; a man capable of turning into a superpowered half man, half wolf monstrosity, and the only being that emerged in the advent of world turning into one big horror movie as a driving force for good. The only problem is, every time he transformed, he lost a little humanity and his appearance would degrade. Beginning the series as a striking, well groomed werewolf akin to the ones in Van Helsing, capable of striking heroic poses and limited speech capacity. But as the series progressed, his muscles would begin to disappear, his skin sag and cover in mange. His fur would fall out and the sores that would steadily begin to cover his body would leak fluids of nauseating colors and smells. By the end, he would resemble more that of the Dog-Thing, with an elongated neck and arms. Dry, unblinking eyes and a deep, impossibly long grin that showed not only the far reaches of his muzzle, his his neck and throat muscles as well. 

The fights would start out as superpowered, "protect the innocent civilians" style of fights seen in Marvel and DC, but quickly degrade to fights without thought; Nothing but raw animalistic rage from both combatants as werewolf and Wendigo duke it out in the middle of main street, small town America.

All culminating with the once main hero ending the series as the main villain, now a horrific eldritch monstrosity that had pushed every shred of the humanity that it's human host once held out.
