Love these classic horror films.... Terrifying yet humorous... the part when he transforms in the London underground station is very scary. Love this FILM - remake will ruin these timeless classics. "The howling" is also brilliant!
1981 was also the year that Joe Dante's "The Howling" hit the box office, a film in which I've never thought very highly of, and still don't. I'm not knocking Joe Dante- I loved his contribution to the 3rd segment of the Twilight Zone movie and his work on Gremlins. But The Howling never worked for me as far as script or direction. And Rob Bottin? Guy's a master of his craft in old-school effects(look no further than John Carpenter's "The Thing"). But the real honors went to team Landis/Baker
@DaemonicNimrod And The Howling also had Dee Wallace for the female lead compared with An American Werewolf in London, that had the(back then) incredibly attractive and talented Jenny Agutter - the hottest British woman I have EVER seen. She made "Logan's Run" worth watching back in the day.
This movie is my earliest recollection from childhood of being terrified beyond any comprehensible comparative analysis. It was then, and still is (though with some serious contenders) my all-time favorite reel of cinematic celluloid. Largely in part to the sentimentality. God bless HBO for giving this landmark movie endless play back in those wonderful days of the early 1980's!
Best parts of the movie are! The Slaughtered Lamb scene, First attack, Davids Transfermation, All the Undead scenes, Final Transfermation up to the Death of David.
seems to have been lots of wolves in london over the centuires, now on the streets the cubs are roaming;-) all have been bitten by something and all had it, silver linings indeed will cure the clouds of doom, time to sink the teeth into best living;-)
@santiken The part at 0:32 was the bit that traumatized me as a kid. It took me about 6 years to be able to look at that image again. Now this is one of my favourite films of all time.
I really like this movie but it scares the shit out of me! I watched it about a week ago and now I'm scared about opening window shades and what not all over again!
I remember watching this for the first time when I was four... I cried when he started transforming into a werewolf. I still get freaked out when I watch this movie. I love it.
One of my favourite movies of all time, I love the fact that it's humour mixed with horror that actually works. They just don't make 'em like they used to. :D
It pisses me off to see that they dont make em like this anymore. So quick to leave it up to a computer where you get fake ass CPU generated shit. I HATE IT! Look at all the craft that went into this brilliant film.
Saw the London Tube scene on a lunchtime programme for new VHS releases when i was 14. That segment ended just as the werewolf ( the American) appeared at the top angle of the screen, foot of the escalator. Still see it in my head sometimes using the Glasgow trains Lol!
I love this film....great soundtrack and the howl on the moors scares the shit out of me!!...could you imagine hearing that when your walking in the dark...great film
i love how they stamped the "director of animal house and blues brothers" to this film. two very different genres. yes its funny but its a really scary film.
Landis not only directed it. He wrote it! Back in the 60s. Based upon that script he got his start in Hollywood and after directing a couple good films got the "greenlight" to make this one. It is his best film and the best werewolf movie ever made. Landis' humor is laced throughout and its very witty and charming while staying true to the serious nature of the horror genre. No other film does this as well. That said, I'm gonna get very drunk and watch it now.
Yea um Im still scared of this movie but just only the werewolf because its freakin scary. I think for me to get over this one is like a year or two...or maybe more....
American Werewolf In London Fans! I Made A Super Cool Tribute To This Kick Ass Movie & It's Probably The Best Werewolf In London Tribute You Will Ever See! Don't Believe Me? Take A Look! It's On My Channel! :)
i saw this movie when i was like 7 or 8 haha and it did scare the shit out of me in the beginning when they are walking and singing a song i think to stay on the road and they fuck up and lose it then you hear the howling shit and that was scary how they attacked his friend one of the crazies shit i ever seen and now that im 19 i been trying to remember what it was called to see it again and i found it!!! good movie
When I saw that film when I was 8, it didn't scare the pants off me except the scene where Jack & David get attacked (which was a little bit scary, but not really scary when I first saw it).
@cartman68308 oh is that right well meet tomorrow at widnes town hall at noon and we'll see whose a piece of shit you fucking get!!! cartman your gonna get proper fucked ...now fuck off to your little 1 bedroom flat with that stupid thick doll in the corner called your girlfriend
The scene when he has to talk to his dead friend in the back of a porno theatre, and while he has to apologize to everyone he's killed you can hear the porn in the background xD.
i laughed so hard when the child said, "A naked American man stole my balloon." this movie is both funny and scary at the same time it's just brilliant!! one of the best horror films ever!!
I hear there's going to be a remake of this - hopefully to be released next year, on it's 30th anniversary. I'm sure it won't be as good as the original, but I'll be interested enough to see how they do it.
I saw "An American Werewolf In London" a few weeks ago, it was on the SCI FI Channel, it was very good!, I found it very entertaining, scary and interesting. I thought the Transformation scene was very clever, a lot of Film Directors who make "Werewolf Movies", use that scene in them!. I was impressed!. I've always wanted to see the film ever since I was little and now I'm glad got the chance...
@BelleandBuster4Eva it is good,REALLY good you should see it,just take my word and listen to this,FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WATCH THE CRAP SEQUEL AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS......you're getting up to see it right now aren't you -_-
Not many people seem to mention the late Elmer Bernstein's excellent music (maybe because there are some good moon-based rock ''n' roll tracks along the way too), so......kudos to you, Elmer!
I watched this for the first time when I was about 10, in a tiny caravan with the rain and wind howling around us. It was so scary but even as a kid I appreciated the comedy. One of my favourite fims ever. An absolute classic.
