John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London is one of the greatest – and funniest – werewolf movies ever made, with its own werewolf lore involving a death curse and a broken bloodline. An American Werewolf in London stars David Naughton and Griffin Dunne as David and Jack, respectively, two American backpackers who encounter a bloodthirsty werewolf in the English countryside. Although Jack is killed, David survives the attack and recovers at a hospital in London, where he brings his supernatural curse to the big city. Meanwhile, David is visited by Jack’s spirit as he finds himself stuck in a sort of werewolf limbo.
