Last Film Watched....

Decided to give a classic werewolf film a watch last night, Which is one of my most favourite films of all time.

American Werewolf In London














This film has always had an interest with me, The moon-themed music that seems to run through it it the fact that the special effects in the film are still not outdated and to some extent, Beat the CGI/Green screen stuff that is produced on the main film screen's today.

Throughout the whole film it grips you with fear, Laughter and it takes your breath away that the special effects on screen are actually not made on computer.

I found one of the scariest parts of the films, Was the infamous nightmare scenes..
With some research into the film, I have found some trivia about it...

The porno film showing when David meets Jack and his zombie friends. A poster for the film appears in the London Underground when the man is killed.

The London Underground station used in the film is Tottenham Court Road. It was refurbished in the late 1980s. The platform with the train arriving and departing is the northbound Northern Line platform. This is NOT Aldwych station as previously reported.

This is the first film to earn the Academy Award for Best Makeup. That category was created in 1981.

When David calls home to speak to his family, he speaks to his sister Rachel. During the conversation, they talk about their brother Max. Max and Rachel are the names of Director's children.


Here are some screen shots of the film itself including the transformation scenes..
