ELIC, why does the Wolfman turn back into a human whenever the moon is hidden by a cloud, but not when he goes indoors and the moon is hidden by the ceiling?

It's obvious, really. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Because a ceiling is intended for shelter from rain, snow, wind, and heat, not to prevent werewolves from turning. Clouds are multipurpose, in the sense that they can rain, snow, provide shade, or they can be used for dramatic effect in turning wolves back into humans. Clouds can’t be trusted and can be capable of anything. Hence the Milli Vanilli song “blame it on the rain”, because if you blame the clouds, the clouds are coming to get you.

That' just in the movies to make it more interesting. In real life a wolfman will sniff out, hunt down and kill little boys in their bed at the next full moon. Which is tomorrow.
