Since Brigette claimed that they didn't take him as Trina said she saw Ginger take him.
Most likely Trina's dog was killed by Jason (who became infected with lycanthropy from Ginger) who said he also killed his own dog.
Or most likely Ginger did indeed kill him, and Brigette simply didn't know. In a blink and you'll miss it moment Morley's collar can be seen on the bathroom floor on top of Ginger's clothes during the scene where Pamela barges in, implying that Ginger killed him. The detail is almost imperceptible without pausing the film as it barely shows for a few seconds.

From the film, Brigitte develops an appreciation for Sam, but feelings strong enough to be considered love are not seen. However, she does willingly break from her introverted persona to find Sam to develop a cure for Ginger. From the deleted scenes, Brigitte is seen confronting Sam about being a "cherryhound," and she is seen starting to open up to Sam. The deleted scenes, if kept in the film, would have shown a stronger support for Brigitte's love for Sam. However, in the film, Sam asks Brigitte to take the syringe herself and to run away with him, signalling that Sam does love Brigitte. In a Q & A session with Karen Walton, a writer for Ginger Snaps, she stated that a scene where Brigitte and Sam kiss in the cupboard never made it beyond the storyboard.
The title is a pun, where Ginger refers to the central character Ginger Fitzgerald and could also be a reference to her blond hair. Snap could mean "a sudden closing of the jaws", "barking out irritable or peevish retorts," or "taking a photograph" (the sisters took photos documenting events and placed them on their wall). The phrase Ginger Snaps is also a reference to a thin brittle cookie sweetened with molasses and flavored with ginger.
The lycanthropy curse may have been brought upon the community from the events of Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning where the Fitzgerald sisters broke from the prophecy as told by the elderly Cree seer. The prophecy stated that the sisters must go through with the predictions, or a curse will be set upon the community. It is probably fate that the modern day Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgeralds are cursed.
It is unclear; perhaps Brigitte did not want Ginger to find out that she was contacting Sam for help. Walton stated that this scene represents a further divide between the sisters, where normally they would share everything with each other.
An explanation of Pamela and Henry's whereabouts is not given. Several days earlier, Pamela mentions to Brigitte and Ginger after they leave the dinner table that their father and herself have therapy that night. Perhaps the parents might be at a late night therapy session.
In the deleted scenes, an extended scene is seen where Pamela is sitting is shock after digging up Trina's body in the toolshed. Henry asks her what she was doing in the toolshed, and Pamela replies that she was just reminiscing the old days. Henry then replies that he was going for late night poker. In another deleted scene, "Let's Kill Them All!" Pamela distracts the police officers who were looking for Jason McCardy after his terrorizing of a young boy. She thinks that they were looking for her daughters because they murdered Trina (but the officers did not know that yet). Pamela shows the officers the severed fingers and declares out loud that she murdered Trina, while the officers arrest her.
The sisters are seen resentful of their peers and community, and even of their parents. When Ginger was bitten, Brigitte offered to bring her to the hospital, but Ginger refused and showed her sister that her wounds were healing and scars were already forming. Brigitte may have seen no choice except to find Sam and ask him for more details about what bit Ginger.
The film provides the interesting condition that a person can become infected with lycanthropy not only from a bite, but from a scratch or sex. Ginger Fitzgerald was bitten by a werewolf on a full moon and progressed into one; Brigitte infected herself by placing her palm with an open cut on Ginger's also on a full moon. However, Ginger infected Jason after they had sex not on a full moon, and he showed signs of turning into a werewolf. It appears that the effects of turning into a werewolf appear at the next full moon (Ginger transformed fully a month later, Jason started to transform since he was infected about two weeks from the next full moon, and Brigitte's transformation was held off with monkshood).
Yes, and this is supported by the prequel and sequel as well. The Beast of Bailey Downs was an infected human-turned werewolf who never transformed back, even when killed (as seen in other werewolf films, the werewolf turns back into a person upon death). With Ginger and Jason, they showed progressive transformation into a werewolf. Monkshood may be a temporary solution to slow down lycanthropy, but as seen in Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, it is only a temporary cure.
No one has answered this question yet.
The Fitzgerald sisters—15-year-old, black-haired Brigitte (Emily Perkins), and 16-year-old, red-haired Ginger (Katharine Isabelle)—are obsessed with death to the point where they have made a pact to be "out by 16 or dead in the scene." Then the unthinkable happens. On the same day that Ginger has her first period, she is bitten by a werewolf. Within days, her personality changes, her wounds grow hair, she begins to grow a tail, and neighborhood pets start dying. Desperate to help her sister, Brigitte enlists local doper Sam (Kris Lemche) to help her find a cure before Ginger moves on to humans.
Ginger Snaps is based on a script by Canadian screenwriter Karen Walton. Based on the success of this film, two more films were made—a sequel, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) (2004), and a prequel, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) (2004).
Brigitte and Ginger decided that, if they weren't out of Bailey Downs (or leading better lives) by 16, they would kill themselves together.
It's just a dog that the werewolf killed. Apparently, no one noticed it or could tell what it was from further away until Brigitte was pushed into it.
Two possible reasons have been suggested. One is that Brigitte saw something moving under the covers and went to check it out. Another suggestion is that Brigitte was reading up on werewolf lore and learned that one of the signs of turning is that the victim starts to grow a tail, so she went to see if that was happening to Ginger.
They called it Aconitum lycotonum, one of over 250 species of Aconitum, more commonly known as "monkshood" or "wolfsbane". Sam explains that Aconitum species are perennials and are easily grown in the flower garden, although they contain poisonous alkaloids that have a long history of medicinal use.
They were noticing; however, no one was able to catch the predator, nor did they even know what was causing the killings. The pets were also, in some instances, carried away from their homes. The owners couldn't know if they had just run away. As for why people thought their dogs would be safe on their backyards, they lived in an illusion of protection cast by their suburban surroundings and fenced backyards. .
Ginger has now transformed into a werewolf and is moving through the house, Sam and Brigitte hide in the pantry and mix up more of the monkshood solution. Sam then takes the syringe into the living room, and Brigitte is charged with luring Ginger to him. Before they can even leave the pantry, however, Ginger breaks down the door and pulls Sam out. Scared but determined to help her sister, Brigitte retrieves the syringe and goes looking for Ginger. She follows the blood trail into the basement and comes upon Ginger lurking over Sam's mutilated body. To appease Ginger, who apparently wants Brigitte to become like her, she dips her fingers in Sam's blood and licks them but throws it back up. Angered, Ginger kills Sam and chases Brigitte into their bedroom. Brigitte holds Ginger at bay by brandishing a knife in one hand and the syringe in the other. Unwilling any longer to uphold their pact of dying together, Brigitte offers the monkshood to Ginger, but Ginger lunges at her, landing on the knife.
