American Werewolf in London, An (Blu-ray)

Synopsis

Beware the Moon...

"A full-blooded horror film that happens to have a sharp sense of humor!" -Leonard Maltin

A macabre mix of humor and horror from the acclaimed director John Landis (Animal House). This classic horror/comedy tells the beastly tale of two American youths whose European adventure turns to terror after they are attacked by a werewolf. One of the travelers is killed, but the other's fate is worse than death as every full moon now seems to bring out the beast in him.

It's a rainy night on the Welsh moors. Two American students on a walking tour of Europe trudge on to the next town, when suddenly the air is pierced by an unearthly howl… Three weeks later, one is dead, the other is in the hospital and the nightmare begins for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

David Naughton, Griffin Dunne and Jenny Agutter star in the contemporary story of the macabre which takes you from the Welsh moors to Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and the ground of Windsor Castle. It is written and directed by John Landis, the man who brought you National Lampoon's Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Innocent Blood and Coming To America.

To add to the chill, there is art direction by Academy Award®-winner Les Dilley of Star Wars and Alien fame and special makeup effects by six-time Academy Award®-winner Rick Baker, whose work includes Star Wars, The Nutty Professor, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Men In Black.
