In this howl-worthy episode of Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Ryan Etherington and Simon Keet journey through the foggy moors and chaotic streets of John Landis’ horror-comedy classic, An American Werewolf in London. Blending visceral terror with dark humor, this 1981 masterpiece set the gold standard for werewolf transformations and practical effects, thanks to Rick Baker’s legendary work.
Ryan and Simon sink their teeth into the film’s unique tone, groundbreaking visuals, and its enduring legacy as a genre-defying landmark. From the iconic transformation scene to the tragic love story at its core, the hosts bring their sharp insights and spirited banter to every chilling (and hilarious) moment.
Adding even more bite to the episode, Jimmy Murphy’s original music and sketches transport listeners straight into the eerie, moonlit world of the film.
Whether you’re a horror aficionado or a newcomer curious about what makes this film so timeless, this episode is a must-listen. Stay on the road, keep clear of the moors, and tune in—this one’s killer.
