Sorry for the delay in responding back!<br /><br />@ onemorebullet: I only ever got as far as seeing the trailer on TV. I did try and get my mom to take me to see it, but she refused. I do like the ending, though, for its ability to shock with all the chaos happening from the wolf and the cars running over people and so forth.<br /><br />@ Fran: I like them both almost equally, but HOWLING edges it out marginally. I totally agree about the nightmare scenes and the opening is great, only the bar patrons never say anything about the wolf. They make the two leave when they inquire about the pentagram on the wall. That opening is good and suspenseful, too! I don't think there's been a better melding of horror and comedy that is so successful at realizing both styles.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-52120896103789019242011-04-27T14:14:04.916-07:002011-04-27T14:14:04.916-07:00A classic no doubts about that!
I favor this one...A classic no doubts about that! <br /><br />I favor this one over The Howling, I just think its creepier, scarier with its images. Yes, it has comedy, but when the horror is on, its on! David's nightmares are pretty freaking freaky, the one you have pictured above, where David looks like a vampire in the woods, that image freaked me out when I was a kid! <br /><br />Make up effects wise, I think both pictures excell, they both had amazing effects artists behind them so that is no surprise. <br /><br />That scene where David and his friend walk into "The Slaughted Lamb" and all the village people start telling their spooky werewolf tales reminded me of the way that every Hammer movie would being.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-15520102314682513402011-04-25T23:20:15.047-07:002011-04-25T23:20:15.047-07:00I was lucky enough to see An American Werewolf in ...I was lucky enough to see An American Werewolf in London in a theater last Halloween. The only thing I really have anything negative to say about it was the ending, which I think uses one too many leftover cars from the Blues Brothers car scenes. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-66348395596229805732011-04-22T08:36:23.463-07:002011-04-22T08:36:23.463-07:00I love both of these movies, but I too would have ...I love both of these movies, but I too would have to put The Howling first.
