An American Werewolf in London - Original Trailer

[teasingmeification]

Johnathan Elias who scored the Children of the corn soundtrack wrote the scary music for this trailer. Scary as hell.

[HorrorFanATYuToob]

Scary!!!

[BawdyBijinder]

This movie and the original Lon Chaney Wolfman are the two best werewolf fims ever... unless I'm not aware of some fantastic underground Lycanthrope film??

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

@BawdyBijinder Brotherhood of the Wolfe, and for sheer cult fun, Ginger Snaps

[LUKE070069]

@ChocolateFrogPrince Dog Soldiers too.

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

@LUKE070069 Also the one that everyone forgets from the 80s - The Company of Wolves - which to my mind at least knocked this years Red Riding Hood into a cocked hat. Beautiful, frightening, erotic... What more could one want from Gothic horror?

[jheadSF06]

@BawdyBijinder Another good one is Joe Dante's The Howling

[torpedoboy4]

I've NEVER seen this promo before! Is this included on any of the DVD or Blue Ray releases? thanks

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

@torpedoboy4 Look for anniversary or special editions that contain all the original trailers.

[thorninmysideis90]

This made me jum out of my seat! One of the scariest trailers I have ever seen.

[MrCryptkeeper89]

I love this original trailer,so fuckin creepy!

[ZZAAN84]

This is the most simple..erie..horrifying..and effective movie promotion I have EVER seen! Made my blood go cold. All of today's CGI imagary ain't shit compared to the imagination.

[1982FMJ]

i have the bluray 1080p version of this and watching at 24 fps instead of the usual framerate the audio pitch is slower. Am i hearing the movie as it was intended to be or not. THe end credits blue moon music is much slower and doesnt sound like the original music did. whats the score with this slower audio on 1080p movies due to lower framerate.

[chrismallyon]

@1982FMJ

i too own this on blu-ray.

the sound is fantastic on my amp, but i know exactly what you mean.

there are some new sounds in there too.

[moviecrazy23]

Second best Wolf movie IMO Number one is The Wolfman(2010)

[chrismallyon]

@moviecrazy23

Depends if your talking about were-wolves, as in the traditional form from man to wolf, or bi-pedal wolf-men, like lon chaney jr's wolf man, dog soldiers, the howling etc etc.

[robbopunk]

this film is a comdey horror, even the creators say that, watch 100 scariest films, its number 42 and they explain how its a HORROR COMEDY

[OttieSucks]

anybody notice the music is from ghostbusters before the wolf's paw is shown.

[monos70]

they don't do them like that anymore!

[tapesan09]

Aw, com' on. They gotta make some more like that. It's the greatest film of all time. I'm writing a screenplay that is like that except it is Japanese mixed with Paul Schrader's CAT PEOPLE. And AMERICAN WEREWOLF is my favorite of all.

[rawrvintageisclassic]

one word for this trailer: fantastic.

it's a huge shame that Hollywood's films today don't scare the hell out of you while you're ever watching both a trailer or a film.

[tylerPdorian]

i hate how they call this film a comedy. it is not a comedy. it is a horror film

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

If we're being pedantic it falls into the bridging sub-genre of comedic horror, the same as films like Dance of the Vampires

[KiCreativeStudios]

@tylerPdorian It's a horror-comedy! XD

[TURBODORK2]

@tylerPdorian john landis said the film is NOT a comedy , he said its tragic. so your right. he said from the moment u see them travelling with sheep u know theyre fucked

[LizzyS186]

Great trailer and as the saying goes..."They dont make em like that anymore".....well not often anyway" same goes for the films too!!! , i really like this one , i think sometimes the trailers are better than the films themselves (obviously not this one" this is great" lol) they create allsorts of thoughts in your head before the film even comes out!!!! , like one of late , Cloverfield that had a good trailer too , HORRORS ALWAYS HAVE THE BETTER TRAILERS/TEASERS!!!.

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

Ah yes.

There's nothing quite like an intelligent and well considered critique...

[foxxfx]

To the contrary, that might be the best horror movie trailer I've ever seen. Sinister, simple, and deeply disturbing. I wish they still made them this way.

[jagyall]

i remeber vividly watching this movie when i was little. I'm goin to download this movie and watch it agian

[TheSadsweetdreamer]

That frightened the shit out of me!

[kalifguy]

I was eleven years old when I saw this trailer in front of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was burned into my mind because it made everyone in the theater absolutely jump. I have never forgotten the full moon, the blood in the water, and the foot at the end. Thanks for posting this trailer, it brought back great memories!

[nukem11]

By the way is there anyway I can download this?

[nukem11]

Great trailer and fucking creepy.

[Ash595]

amazing footage. This a rare teaser for the movie

[OEKIE77]

SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY, JOHN!

[bawbaw222]

I love david naughton..... what a great actor, and easy on the eye!!:)xxxx

[mrpiffles93]

This is my 2nd favourite movie of all time.

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

which beggars an obvious question...

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I like this trailer because there are no spoilers involved.

[foppa123]

great trailer

[saturn1returns]

Class!

[warpeace3]

they just dont make movies like these anymore

[NoirAtelier]

and they also don't make such awesome trailers like this anymore

[PrincessSamantha0891]

The ultimate werewolf movie. This is one of my fave early 80s horrors and this is such a cool and rare trailer. Classic !!

[mintyspace]

Just not remotly American Werewolf in London, it seems more like a teaser trailer, but I bet this trailer made a few people fly out of their seats in the cinemas back in 1981

[Vameon]

pretty creepy and awesome, would of loved to have seen that trailer in a theater back then.
