An American Werewolf In London Reaction! - Google Drive

During that scene in the zoo, the actress was told that David Naughton would come up to her and say a few lines, so she should just react however seemed natural. She was NOT told that he would be nude, so that's her 100% genuine response to it.

This is definitely one of my all-time favourite horrors, can't wait to watch this later :)

I am a sucker for trivia about this film. John Landis took his script for An American Werewolf in London to most studios at the beginning of his career in the 70s, but kept getting turned down. It was too funny to be a horror and too scary to be a comedy. The concept of a horror-comedy just wasn't a thing. Then he made Animal House and The Blues Brothers which gave him enough clout to finally get the film made. This is the first film to earn the Academy Award for Best Make-up. That category was created in 1981. There is a fan theory in which people think David doesn't actually physically change into a werewolf; instead what they are seeing is what he thinks he looks like. This is supported by the fact that when the first werewolf attacks David and was shot dead, no transformation back to a human was shown. In the case of David, no transformation back to human after he's shot dead by the police is seen, and even though Alex witnesses him getting killed she doesn't display a shocked expression at seeing him revert to human form. It may be assumed therefore the move is a metaphorical representation of him losing his sanity after witnessing Jack get killed.

Yup ! There were muppets - and not just on the TV - the guy from the embassy that visits David in hospital is Miss Piggy (Frank Oz) - I guess he was fan of Landis's films. The Muppet Show in most ways, other its creative team and influences, was a British show - so he would have been in the UK filming when Landis came to shoot Werewolf - I guess he must has made a pitch for a bit part, maybe in exchange for the stock footage. BTW - The 'non-stop orgy' of 'See You Next Wednesday' is a running gag in John Landis movies - references to a film called that are in pretty much all of Landis's films. Thought it always seems to be a different movie.
