Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (reprints and adaptations often adding "The") is an 1886 novel. It recounts the experiments of Dr. Henry Jekyll to separate man's dual natures (towards vice and virtue). The resulting serum turns him into the evil, unbridled Mr. Hyde. Many adaptations of the novel have been made over the years, and the concept of transforming in both personality and physicality has inspired later works such as The Incredible Hulk

The 1996 film Mary Reilly, adapted from a novel, retold the book's events from the perspective of his housemaid, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop was credited for "transformation effects."
