An American Werewolf in London is a favorite movie I’ve screened many times. After several years, I decided to see how it holds up. This movie blew me away in my youth with how scary and funny it was. What really stands out now, after being barraged by SO much CG is the (spoiler alert) werewolf transformation done entirely with practical effects. It took 6 months to prepare for, a week to film and resulted in the first Academy Award for best Makeup. CG is great, but the more it can supplement the practical, the better the effect.
