About the event
The Movie Deets:
Released in 1981 and directed by John Landis, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON follows two American backpackers whose trip through the English countryside takes a horrifying turn when they’re attacked by a werewolf. David survives the attack, but soon discovers that being bitten is only the beginning of his problems.
Why You'll Love It:
This is peak '80s horror. Expect groundbreaking practical effects, gruesome transformations, dark humor, memorable kills, and one seriously unsettling werewolf. Rick Baker's legendary makeup effects changed the game, especially that infamous transformation scene that still holds up as one of the greatest practical effects sequences in horror history.
