An American Werewolf in London

Released: 18th July 2022. One of the greatest directors of the 1980s, John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Trading Places), expertly combines macabre horror with dark humour in the lycanthropic classic, An American Werewolf in London. American tourists David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. David awakes in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray. Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter, Walkabout) to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital...  An American Werewolf in London had audiences howling with laughter and recoiling in terror upon its cinema release. Landis’ film has gone on to become one of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Baker’s truly ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special make-up effects. Now restored and presented with an abundance of extra features, this big beast of horror can be devoured as never before... 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS 4K restoration by Arrow Films from the original camera negative  4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)  Original uncompressed 1.0 mono and optional 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio  Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing  Audio commentary by Beware the Moon filmmaker Paul Davis  Audio commentary by actors David Naughton and Griffin Dunne  Mark of The Beast: The Legacy of the Universal Werewolf, a feature-length documentary by filmmaker Daniel Griffith, featuring interviews with John Landis, David Naughton, Joe Dante and more An American Filmmaker in London, an interview with John Landis in which he reflects on British cinema and his time working in Britain  I Think He’s a Jew: The Werewolf’s Secret, a video essay by filmmaker Jon Spira (Elstree 1976) about how Landis’ film explores Jewish identity  The Werewolf’s Call, Corin Hardy, director of The Hallow and The Nun, chats with writer Simon Ward about their formative experiences with Landis’ film  Wares of the Wolf, a featurette in which SFX artist Dan Martin and Tim Lawes of Prop Store look at some of the original costumes and special effects artefacts from the film  Beware the Moon, Paul Davis’ acclaimed, feature-length exploration of Landis’ film which boasts extensive cast and crew interviews  An American Werewolf in Bob’s Basement and Causing a Disturbance: Piccadilly Revisited, two 2008 featurettes filmed by Paul Davis  Making An American Werewolf in London, a short archival featurette on the film’s production  An Interview with John Landis, a lengthy archival interview with the director about the film  Make-up Artist Rick Baker on An American Werewolf in London, the legendary make-up artist discusses his work on the film  I Walked with a Werewolf, an archival interview with Rick Baker about Universal horror and its legacy of Wolfman films  Casting of the Hand, archival footage from Rick Baker’s workshop showing the casting of David Naughton’s hand  Outtakes  Storyboards featurette  Original trailer and teaser plus TV and radio spots  Extensive image gallery featuring over 200 stills, posters and other ephemera  Reversible sleeve featuring original poster art and artwork by Graham Humphreys
