Let’s be blunt... John Landis directed one
of the most important movies ever made.
Prove it? Ok! Lots of people credit this as being the
movie that ushered in the horror comedy genre and
its “star” is widely considered to be Rick Baker’s
special eff ects. In fact, the effects were so mind
blowing that the Oscars created an awards category
to recognize their importance. The King of Pop himself
liked this movie so much that he called Landis to
make a video for one of his songs. This clip became
the most influential music video of all time. AN
AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON is a lot of things
to a lot of people and like a stone being tossed into a
stagnant lake, the ripples it created are still being felt
in Hollywood 30 years later. (Justin Ishmael)
