Back in the days when parents didn't care what their generation-X kids were watching, An American Werewolf In London first hit theatres and then home video in the early 1980's. This year is the 40th anniversary of this classic horror movie, written and directed by John Landis and starring David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, Brian Glover, Jenny Agutter, Rik Mayall and David Schofield.

Plot Summary:

Two American college students are on a walking tour of Britain and are attacked by a werewolf. One is killed, the other is mauled. The werewolf is killed but reverts to its human form, and the local townspeople are unwilling to acknowledge its existence. The surviving student begins to have nightmares of hunting on four feet at first but then finds that his friend and other recent victims appear to him, demanding that he commit suicide to release them from their curse, being trapped between worlds because of their unnatural deaths.
