AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

Two young Americans are attacked by a fierce beast on an English moor. One survives and returns to London, only to learn that he will be transformed into a werewolf at the next full moon. The first film to win the best make-up Oscar, and the gold standard for films about lycanthropes, An American Werewolf in London has been handed down to posterity for its mind-blowing transformation sequence filmed full screen and for the creature created by special-effects artist Rick Baker.
