The scene with the full moon revealing itself slowly in the sky was later reused in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video. Now I see how did his famous short film come to be.
I liked the movie but... If the villagers could so easily kill the werewolf that night, why couldn't they have killed it before and been rid of it? If a gun works, why draw a pentacle on the wall for protection? Why are the villagers so afraid? What's to be afraid of if you can blow the werewolf away with a shotgun?
saw this movie when i was 7 or 8 at my aunts then had to walk home with my mum at 9pm and yes there was a full moon, i ran most of the way absolutly shitting myself, it scared the crap out of me and the howl haunted me for years and yes i had 1 or 2 nightmares as well!! still what a class film!!!!
@fairclought7 haha bro...i watched this with my father when i was 9..it still scares me now, i think of these clips even before sleeping. funny how i couldnt care less about other horrors, but this one's got something more.
1:40 there´s a road behind em , * stick to the road he says * ..... right
and another thing with a wild beast .. howling , if this WAS real , you wouldnt be talking but taking cover and shut the fuck up and highten yr senses , like instinct tells you to do
unless yr strong enough with a weapon with more then 3 people to be able to take it down or scare it away with violence.
but you never START TALKING LOUD !!
only dumb asses who never learned how to deal with danger do this ... naturaly
...it scares me to death!! There is not another werewolf film that works as well as this one! When it comes to good films AGE has nothing to do with QUALITY.
When we look at it today, with this wide range of special effects that people use to make a werewolf, this one may look dull, but back then, it really scared the shit out of everyone, when horror movies used to actually cause horror, not nausea with gore and more gore.
@Watchiya Thank you for telling me that the howl was a combination of a real wolf and an elephant played in reverse. PS: I would hate to be Jack, poor walking meatloaf.
I remember seeing that movie at the drive-in.Had me on high alert for years to come,lol.THAT'S when horroe movies was great.You could feel the fear-smell it,and taste it.Pure freight-and thats what it was all about.The special effects on this movie are superb,and I think it should be a right of passage for new film producers to take classes like this.Add's a level of pride to dublicate stuff like that.
I remember watching this when I was like 10 I was so scared lol my dad said I would be but I didn't listen and I watched it lol I should have listened to my dad
I was 9 years old when I watched this for the first time... it scared me for a long time... I should have listen my parents too .. and even today, I still cant watched werewolf movies... lol
That howling sound is certainly terrifying. According to The Internet Movie Database the sound effect was created by mixing the howl of a real wolf and the roar of an elephant.
This scene is still scary as shit! That howel is bone chilling! Mj loved this movie too and thus we had another classic, Thriller. The red bubble jacket reminds me of mj
That werewolf was, and still is, one of the scariest things ever on tv. For it to be the early 80's and look that great, AMAZING! It was way ahead of its time. The only werewolf I have seen to look better would be William from Underworld Evolution, my opinion of course. He was amazing! Still though, even William didn't look as creepy as this guy lol. As far as howls, American Werewolf in London has everything beat. The sound is like an evil wolf howl mixed with someone screaming in pain!
Nearly 30 years later and this still kicks ass! the moors scene haunted my childhood lol! That howl is terrifying! The effects were unreal for its time and it still looks amazing!!
Whenever i go to Tottenham Court Road tube station i always think about that scene where the business man gets killed and i still half expect to here that Werewolf growl Lol
I ve been always wondering about the "village people" making such a big thing of that werewolf thing if they just can grab their guns and shot that goddamn bastard ?!?!?!
This scene ive watched probably eighty times. Every time I hear that first howl and The Phrase: "Did you hear that...?" Hair on my arm stands STRAIGHT UP. :O
I watched thsi shit when i was 8 yrs old. my mom tells me(cause im assuming from shock i dont recall) i walked in the kitchen after this scene ghost white shaking and crying. this movie fucked me up really bad. That is a testament to what real horro movies should do to a child!!! fuck all this final destination crap! we need more movies that give kids nightmares and our parents depleted bank accounts cause they took us to the shrink for evaluation! i couldnt watch this movie for years!!!!
O my .. I've just realized something I hadn't earlier ... the two idiots were so busy acting snarky with each other after hearing the initial howl that they were actually heading INTO THE DIRECTION of the Wolf instead of away from it! It's only after the growling got nearer and more ominous that they changed direction ... too late by then!
i first saw this movie when i was 15 this scene still makes me jump behind the couch!!!!! plus if you look carefully jack (the victim mysteriously loses his clothes lmao
If I was with my friend in the woods at night and heard that howl, I'd probably s**t blood in my pants!
