David went back to help Jack as soon as he got a hold of himself. He was a great guy who didn't deserve any of what happened to him.
That first growl in the dark is terrifying. They can’t see it but by the sound of it we know it is huge, ferocious and they are completely out in the open exposed to it with no help. That’s when they know they are dead and you can feel it. Brilliant filmmaking.
One small detail that would've made it worse is if time they saw it, the wolf's eyes glowed on the dark from the light of the full moon
There is just so much right about this sequence. The atmosphere. The unseen horror. If you have surround sound, each time the werewolf growls, it comes from a different speaker. What I love about the attack is that it is brutal and completely animalistic and violent. It’s incredibly realistic of which makes it disturbing. This sets the stage for the audience knowing that David is gonna become this monster.
One thing that's always puzzled me is why didn't the villagers kill David then and there if they knew he was infected with the curse. It would have been a mercy.
Think they wanted to wait for him to wake up, explain it to him and let him choose what he would’ve wanted, but the paramedics probably arrived too soon and took him away
@AndrewJamesWilliams I would say there would be no movie from there if it ended at that point , possibly they just didn't have the heart to kill him in human form and para medics probably arrived soon so they couldn't do anything about it . 🤔
Love this movie one of the classics . Keeping 80's horror alive enjoy the Halloween season
Cheers mate .🎃📽🙏
I'd like to think they just wanted the whole werewolf curse out of their hair.
Yea seemed like a plot hole to me. You have to come up with something to explain why they didn't kill him then and there.

Love how the villagers knew where to look for them 😂
1:23 Jack's plea for help still gives me chills
One of the most greatest and memorable scenes in horror cinema. To this day it still makes me cringe and squirm in terror and agony. 😍😎💯👍😱😰
Good job, Rick Baker.
This scene was so phenomenally great . The gradual build on that agonising suspense with those horrible, eerie werewolf sounds until that horrific attack . Nerve torturous terror plus!!!
I wouldn't dare walk outside in the middle of no where
Hell, I wouldn't go out in the moors on a night like that for a million dollars.
@@spiritgirl41192 these were filmed in Wales my friend called the black mountains the pub is a cottage but the interior was filmed in Sussex
1:16 to 1:34 imagine your out in the woods at night camping and you hear all that
Always loved the look & design of this werewolf, the thick shaggy fur & big teeth - how a werewolf should look along with the werewolves of The Howling. I don't think there has been any films that bare resemblance to these since, pretty much everything these days is either cgi or poorly written/scripted & directed.
I do however, love the Universal classics The Wolfman/Frankenstein meets the Wolfman - Werewolf of London which I'm proud to own🌙
The werewolves of The Howling were the stuff of nightmares!
ALL they had to do was stay off the moors, but noooooo😂
seraphim2525 oops
Wouldn't the werewolf still attack them even if they were on the road I mean it could still follow them on the road.
The beautiful Welsh mountains my friend was the filming locations of the moors
@@almorgan68 Snowdonia? If so, it is definitely beautiful there and I miss it greatly👍🏾
Damnn i used to watch this as a kid with my friends at sleep overs
Did you get terrified
It isn’t that scary I found it more funny 😂
@@Izzisfilmss Ye I love horror films this isn't scary but it's quite good
The sheer terror & fright that this scene instilled in me as a kid 40 years ago was indescribable, as such deep primal fears were powerfully activated (in conjunction with a hyper active imagination!).
40 years later I still get freaked out, as the desolate rural moorland at night under a full moon & largely enshrouded by a thick impenetrable mist all with that ghastly & horrifying howling of that unseen abomination before the savage attack still works wonders with conjuring ancient primeval fears that lurk deep in my essence.
That is the Genius of this scene. As memorable & frightening as any in history.
1:33: If you put this on 0.25 and play, you can just see Jack closing his eyes before dieing.
1:47 those gun shots
One of my first Horror Movies. It was chilling.
Einer der besten Filme dieses Genres überhaupt! Zeitlos genial
RIP Jack
Maybe they should have got the drinks in at The Slaughtered Lamb, laughed at The Alamo joke and not mentioned the pentangle. Jack would probably still be alive now.
Jack helped David to his feet, turned his back to the monster and when Jack was attacked David ran away. Even though he couldn't do anything he was very cowardly. As a reward, he suffers unbearable pain when he becomes a werewolf. I really liked the way the movie worked "what you do here, here you pay."
Wait a minute, why are you calling David a coward for acting upon his natural instincts to flee? It was literally nothing he could’ve done to save jack from being ripped to shreds! the only reason the wolf caught up to David is because he tried to help his friend. I would’ve kept running the hell with jack at that point lol
Er, no I side with David here, it wasn’t cowardly at all
@@mikefit3343 Ikr LMFAO I ain't fighting no werewolf unarmed🤣🤣😂😂
@@JLOCC23424 Neither Jack or David had a weapon for self defense and there’s no way I’m throwing hands with a werewolf of all things. No way. No how. I’m not a complete asshole if my friends need my help I’ll loan em some money or let them sleep over but when it comes to a werewolf?..... That friendship no longer exist, I’m sorry.🤷🏽♂️
@@mikefit3343 Exactly bro,omg that made me laugh🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 it's every man for himself in that situation😂😂
This is why I don't like going camping in the wood
What’s always kinda “annoyed” me about this scene is that if regular bullets can kill a werewolf? Why didn’t these townsfolk venture out years ago and try to kill it ??
They're cowards. And if they go out to find it, they risk being bitten by it, and then they'd have to work up the nerve to off themselves too. Not to mention if more than one person survived an attack, and the net population of werewolves actually goes up.
I’ve wondered the same thing. You can’t tell me they didn’t know who it was. Stanley we’re all going down to the slaughtered lamb for a pint, won’t you join us? And while we’re at it here’s a knife to the heart cause you’re a werewolf. Problem solved.
Yeah I never understood this either, this movie is great but the whole slaughtered lamb subplot was filled with poorly written plot holes
In the audiobook they delve in it further by saying that they had a deal to not mention anything about the werewolves but it still doesn’t say much
@@itsjordan1042 Also, the idea about the town being cursed, but then in one night these two Americans come and essentially lift the curse by relocating the werewolf to London. No more werewolf in East Proctor, problem solved. And wouldn't the townspeople have figured out by now who the werewolf is? Why not kill him when he's in human form?
It seems poorly thought out in the writing.
Think about it this way. What if they already knew who it was. What if the said werewolf is a dear friend or even a brother and in human form is incredibly kind, there would be a reluctance to just off him. What if this individual wanders as far as is safe to transform and in return is no harm to anyone. I always saw these townspeople trying to protect their own, but was pushed into action by the need to save David and Jack.
The pure savagery of the attack was what shocked audiences. They were probably expecting a Lon Chaney-style wolfman instead of a more wolf-like lycanthrope.
best movie werewolf!
Awesome vid!🐺
I Finally Remembered That American Werewolf In London Is Very Good Dream Of Imagination Horror Movie I Have Ever Bring
I’m sorry, I almost had a stroke trying to read that.
@@connorpusey5912 Oh That Is Okay If You Don’t Read That I Wrote On 4 Months Ago?? If You Wanna Go Into My Channel And Do Something On Yours You Can Have American Werewolf In London Video!))🤩🤩🤩🌍😱
Werewolves hate silver! 🐺
The first wolf attack scene (this one) like scarred me.
1:16 to 1:32 imagine witnessing that from 30feet away
One of two things: I’d freeze in terror or run away
it scares me every time I see that scene
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin to run isnt good because he is probably faster, freeze in terror is also not good, ... I wish I would have the courage to comprehend that I am already sentenced to death, so I stand the ground and shout at him with the deepest voice like Gimli the dwarf: "my axe is waiting for your ugly face, you mofo" ... but in reality I would run
Coolest scene i reckon.🤘👍
the most surprising thing in this movie, is that he wakes up in London right after being attacked in North-England XD
Are they gonna ignore the fact that the werewolf turned back to a human?? Lol
Yeah I think is the the guy that gave a ride to Jack and David with his sheep. They should make a movie telling the story of how the guy became a worewolf and all the mystery of the secret of all those people in the pub
That happens when werewolves are killed.
That's normal for this myth.
Once the beast possessing the human body is killed, the werewolf curse leaves the dead body, which turns back to it's previous state.
Questions:
1) Why did the village people not KILL the werewolf since they should know who it is?
2) Why does the werewolf not go to the Slaughtered Lamb since that is where the meat is?
3) Why is Jack walking as an undead since the werewolf that killed him is shot dead?
4) Why did the other victims of the first werewolf not appear to David?
5) Why is David the last remaining werewolf, why are there not other werewolves around?
6) Do actual corpses decompose that quickly as Jack did in the movie?
7) Had David not died, will Jack's undead spirit still prevail?
1 - plot hole
2 - Seriously?
3 - Did you watch the film? Jack explains this.
4 - David did not kill them
5 - Seriously?
6 - Yes
7 - Did you watch the film? I don't think so.
@@enterprisecreations1492nice
I love your videos♥
So ordinary Bullets can kill a werewolf? I always thought that silver bullets are supposed to kill a werewolf according to the lore.
@Shadowhawk28
Oh be serious, would you?
@@Spontaneous72 I am serious unless you can't formulate an answer to my question. 😒 Also, why didn't they just kill David on the spot seeing as the curse was passed on to him from that werewolf since they warned those guys? Plothole...
@Shadowhawk28
That’s Jack Goodman’s response to David asking him the same question in the movie theater
@@Spontaneous72 Then i guess the people at the pub were brainless idiots for doing a piss poor job. Now they have blood on their hands when they left David to roam free as the Werewolf.
@Shadowhawk28
They probably didn’t want to be responsible for killing him, even knowing he was now ‘cursed’
I remember seeing this in the 80's. Oddly enough, what disturbed me the most? 1:20 While Jack was getting ripped apart, his "best friend" RAN AWAY. 1:22 hearing that, and you're running away. With friends like that....
It's called having a sudden panic attack and then the survival instinct kicks in.
No chance for rational thoughts, let alone altruistic deeds.
Once the first adrenalin rush passes, he runs back though.
But then again there is nothing he could have done for his friend. Whether he stayed or ran.
The beast would have just killed him too.
Plus if he kept running then the villagers would have killed the beast before it reaches him ... and he wouldn't got the werewolf curse.
@@Gaia_Seraphina Yes, but there are plenty of people who have run into very dangerous situations instantly without thinking to save complete strangers. And there has definitely been people who would, and have died trying to save their best friend or family member.
@@ronnie_5150
Heroes are very rare. That's why they are celebrated by others afterwards ( if they survive ). Cuz their deeds aren't typical.
The self-preservative drive is still the norm in a state of shock for the majority of people.
Can you please upload the hospital scene? :-) When David meets Alex! I want more scenes of this movie:P
🐺
Cool
If this was real life the conversation would have went like this.
Jack "David what is that?"
David "Don't know but I'm out peace"
When David ran away after jack was attacked? He should’ve never went back to help lol it was literally nothing he could’ve done to save his friend.
What would you do if it was a family member then
@@Robby_King. When i said David should’ve kept running and not went back for jack, what makes you think family would be any different? I would’ve left no matter who it was 😂✌🏽2021
He might could have jumped on its back and choked the devil out of it. But I would have had a massive heart attact
@@keithhylton4631 Keith 😂 stop horsing around with me, you’re suggesting David should’ve jump on its back & choked it out! I can take a joke because you can’t be serious 😆
@@keithhylton4631 🤣 sounds like a possibility
The 2nd best OPENING CHILLING ATTACK EVER..after JAWS.
Нам сказали не ходить по пустоши и .....мы попремся дальше по пустоши!!!😱Это самый жуткий и кровавый фильм про Оборотней!!!👍😲
How did David get out of the flat after transforming he must have left doors on the latch
Great. Now I have an image of Wolf David standing up all proper after transforming, and then politely and gently opening the door to the flat to let himself out.
He could have bust down the door or jumped oit of the window
He left every door open when bad moon rising is playyng
The most gruesome kill in the movie
the classic moive into michael jakson,s thiller video.
Clássico 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷1981
Lore is another word for B.S.✌😂👍
Jack, Death! 1:38
*How the hell A Big latex Teddy is much better than million companies computer images?*
Because most practical effects are better than CGI
@@g-fanmax1838
Visually, yes ... but not when it comes to fluid movement.
Rick Mayall!
This movie is over 42 years old

What happened to the werewolf that bit David ?
shot down in same scene by the people from the village, in this version is a silver bullet not necessery
His name is paddy Ryan look him up on Google
That werewolf that attacked David, was the member of werewolves cultists which was in movie An American werewolf in Paris.
its a 🐺 a ware 🐺
uh charlie whats the sound of a you know ow
no
hey guys what would happen if someone combined the wolf DNA with the corona virus now that has to be the most terrifying thing to ever happen of course
A FUCKIN"COYOTE"
1:16-1:43
To think Rik Mayall was in this scene.
Even nick cotton from eastenders
@@almorgan68 Is that him bottom left when they're looking down? Down a Wiki check and he's mentioned as having been in this film. Then it jogged my memory re seeing him play George Harrison.
K i need help, 2 decades for me wondering who is the first werwolf. Film credit goes to Paddy Ryan as first werewolf but who the hell is he? I hate the answer, some random and loathe the paris skin head cult member explanation. Please answer my nigh life-long question.
I also asked it myself, must be a guy who lives on his own outside the village, and sure they know him there but as a cursed one he is not welcome there. They know his secret, he knows too - he must know or at least guess because of waking up naked after every full moon somewhere in forest or moor. I always was wondering that the people from the village gave the advice to stay on the road, so they precisely knew where it was usually hunting - in the moor, and not always near the road. But the road was not necessarily a safe place, the old lady in the pub was nevertheless talking about murder, although they have got the advice to stay on the road. I dont think this guy has to do with that paris story, but we will never know what his origin has been
Hes been in loads of films look him up on Google
@@dieweissehand think the reference of sticking to the road was more so the lads didn't get lost and if necessary could sprint back to the pub, maybe. Plus the instinct of the werewolf would be to hunt and hide, so the darkness and vastness of the moors would make for the perfect killing ground and stalking of prey. We badly need a prequel to this film. Would be incredible if John landis himself wrote and directed. Missed opportunity there in my opinion. We need another great werewolf film and that might just be it.
@@neilpage757 yeah, youre right, but how to beat this one... in my opinion the sequel hasnt been good enough... a prequel by J. Landis, maybe maybe
@@dieweissehand yeah werewolf in Paris was no where near the standard of London. Should have just been made as as an independent film with no reference to AWIL. I think if the prequel was handled correctly, dealing with the struggles of the first werewolf that attacked David and Jack and perhaps how he himself was cursed it could work. Maybe the arc could be he's the brother of Brian Glovers character and has become the village outcast that must be hidden from the world. Perhaps a back story of how he became the hound from hell and a story of how the small community have hidden his illness from the world and at the same time
try to protect themselves from the werewolf. The residence of East Proctor have probably been on the run most of their lives protecting the secret of their friend before they finally settled and took refuge in East Proctor. In the middle of no where and mostly protected from outsiders. The first werewolf looked quite old after he had been shot and reverted back to human form so the story could be set when he and all the other characters are younger. Fast forward to the end of the film when they are all older, and one night of the full moon , all the residence
have congregated in the pub when suddenly the door opens and you see the backs of a red and green jacket. Role credits 😀 of course john landis would have to write and direct.
Why didn’t they bring weapons
Wolfailm
Hello v:
The towns folk should of told jack and David about the werewolf on the moors
But they never now look what happened one got killed one injured and now he has the curse
This movie was funny but has too much male nudity for me
@Alex Mig
The love scene with the nurse makes up for it 😉
Cmon how do you think girls feel to any other horror movie almost every horror movie has female nudity
Axel Nilsson movies targeted at men usually have things men like
Alex Mig with that logic: this movie was targeted at women
Axel Nilsson kind of
Cool
