Shouldn't it be pictures of a warehouse first, and then on the full moon it turns into a house making it a werehouse? A werewolf turns into a wolf on the full moon, so the "were" prefix should proceed what it turns into. Unless this is supposed to be a were-warehouse.

kinda, the "were" actually comes from old Germanic "wer", meaning "man". Werewolf just means "man wolf" lol. So I suppose a warehouse could be a human who turns into a house at full moon
