Ring in the spooky season early with An American Werewolf in London, John Landis’ groundbreaking horror film!
David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne), two American college students, are backpacking through Britain when a large wolf attacks them. David survives with a bite, but Jack is brutally killed. As David heals in the hospital, he’s plagued by violent nightmares of his mutilated friend, who warns David that he is becoming a werewolf. When David discovers the horrible truth, he contemplates what to do before the next full moon causes him to transform from man to murderous beast.
Winner of the first ever Academy Award for Best Makeup, An American Werewolf in London helped pioneer the horror-comedy for a new generation.
