An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Beware of the moon! This week we are crossing the pond to sink our teeth into one of the greatest horror comedies ever made. John Landis's 1981 masterpiece An American Werewolf in London is a film that has it all — and this week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are getting into all of it. From Rick Baker's legendary Oscar winning practical effects and transformation sequences, to the incredible chemistry between David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, we break down what makes this film tick. We also dig into Landis's meticulous production planning, the genius of using London as a backdrop, and that absolutely wild Piccadilly Circus finale that still holds up over 40 years later. Plus we talk about what makes the balance of comedy and horror here so hard to pull off and why so few films have ever done it this well. So grab your tuxedo and join us — because this week the boys are howling at the moon!Show Links:Shows Official Website: Grindhouse horror podhttps://www.grindhousehorrorpod.com/Shows Official Store:https://www.grindhousehorrorpod.com/store/Patreon: The Grindhouse Syndicate A Horror Movie Podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/TheGrindhouseSyndicateAHorrorMoviePodcastFacebook: @ The Grindhouse syndicate horror podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550832364599Instagram: @ Grindhousesyndicate.horror.podhttps://www.instagram.com/grindhousesyndicate.horror.pod/Tik Tok: The Grindhouse Horror Podcast @ Grindhouse.Horror.Pod. https://www.tiktok.com/@grindhouse.horror.podYouTube Page:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXBltuX64Bc2G8Nq1x3FNkQ#Horror #horrorfan #horrorgram #horrormovie #horrorjunkie #horrormovies #horrorfanatic #anamericanwerewolfinlondon #johnlandis #werewolves #rickbaker #uk #specialeffects #halloween #stephenking #practicaleffects #horrorpodcast #shudder #Movies #moviepodcasts #youtubepodcast #spotifypodcast #applepodcast #fypシ゚ #horrorfilmsandmovies #horrorfilmsacry #horrorfilmsbest #horrorfilmpodcast #horrorreview #bloodydisgusting #patreon
