David and Jack are two American students taking a break from school and their families by taking a three month trek across the English countryside. While travelling through a very small country town wet and hungry they are attacked by a creature of the night.

David is the only one who survives the attack but he's having horribly gory dreams and his dead and mutilated friend Jack keeps coming to him and telling him he should kill himself before the next full moon.

An American Werewolf in London was written and directed by John Landis who is the creator of the movie Animal House and Micheal Jackson's Thriller. This is one of my favorite movies and if you enjoyed it too, you've come to the right place.

One of the best horror movies of all time with incredibly detailed make-up effects by Rick Baker that still hold up for today's audience. Baker set the standards for future monster movies. There's comedy, there's blood and guts and there's a white guy running around in his birthday suit in the middle of the London.

Go ahead, disagree. I dare you. 

An American Werewolf In London is the best movie ever.

Music Lyrics 

So you can sing along with the movie...

Blue Moon

Blue moon,
you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love on my own.

Blue moon,
you knew just what I was there for
you heard me saying a prayer for
somebody I really could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me,
the only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me."
and when I looked,
the moon had turned to gold.

Blue moon,
now I'm no longer alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love on my own.

Moondance

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Chorus:
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Chorus:
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love
