An American Werewolf In London (1981)

Did a naked American man steal your balloons? If so, this is the movie for you!

From writer/director John Landis (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE, THE BLUES BROTHERS) comes THE monster movie, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON! From the moonlit moors of England to Picadilly Circle, this classic horror film follows the story of David Kessler (David Naughton), an American backpacking through Europe who is soon to become a rampaging beast. Griffin Dunne (AFTER HOURS, ADDICTED TO LOVE) co-stars as Jack Goodman, David's best (and undead) friend, and Jenny Agutter (LOGAN'S RUN) stars as Alice, the nurse that takes him in. 

This film was the recipient of the 1981 Oscar for Best Makeup. The creature effects by Rick Baker are outstanding, the score by Elmer Bernstein is minimal, and the story is timeless, rooted firmly in the tradition of the Universal monster movies.
