An American Werewolf In London (BBC Audio Drama) 

Aside from missing the mark in the wolf’s iconic howl, this production was brilliant!

This movie and Alien were cinematic masterpieces both special effects wise and the storyline

Absolutely superb production. Visual effects from the film are fantastically translated to pure audio sweetness. The way they conveyed Jack's undead grossness was just perfect. I'd highly recommend listening to this with earbuds or headphones... soooooo worth it. The stereo is strong here. Also, this is a little different in that it's even more upbeat and a little more lighthearted. The romance aspect is downplayed into more of a romp than a matter of love. The original Brittish cast is right on board for doing it again, and the production shines with everyone involved clearly having a great time with it. You might be disappointed at first with the replacement for David Naughton, but just hold on! This David is actually spot on for this production! This may be my all-time favorite BBC Radio production, and I hope every fan of the film will take the time to listen to this all the way through. Believe me, this is a great love letter to the film, and should leave any fan beaming. A++

Love the backstory of the first man who is a werewolf , who escapes from a lunatic asylum

The transformation scene was brilliant. The actor is very good

This is amazing. That beginning really adds a lot to the story. One of my favourite ever movies. As a Londoner and kid watching this years ago, it frightened the life out of me and my love affair with horrors began. Still the best Werewolf movie ever 👌

Really enjoyed this production… one of my favourite films with many a favourite famous face including Rik Mayal

A timeless Classic. The audio version was fantastic having seen the film to accompany my imagination. The beautiful Jenny Agutter turns this wonderfully told tale into a fateful love story.

They should have done a director's cut of the movie

I truly got choked up at the end with Alex crying and telling David she loves him the pain was raw

Really enjoyed this, a fine compliment to a brilliant Landis movie

That’s cool how they show how the werewolf got into the Moore’s in the first place.

I actually loved hearing that, often funny dialogue in parts not connected with the original script.

That was amazing! Love some of the little changes - especially the busker in playing bad moon rising.

This is incredible. The acting is awesome.

this is super neat! i am very glad to have found this.

Good stuff! I cannot get enough of An American Werewolf In London

Must admit I was slightly surprised to see 181 downvotes...still, people are entitled to their opinions.🤔✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is one of the best werewolf flicks of the 1980’s!

Damn Dirk Maggs is brilliant at this!

My favourite film of all time. Brilliant to hear this too.

THANK YOU for uploading this Audio, it is GREAT quality x

This collection (playlist) is the very BEST selection I've found on yt ... and I've been looking and listening for a couple of years now. Brilliant. Thank You buddy...excellent

Excellent! Love this, builds the back story brilliantly

This was very well put together:) really enjoyed the back story and the interaction between the prime lycanthrope and Jack.

When he started to turn into werewolf in nurse home special affect the that time was some top work...film now book.

1:04:26 The Transformation

I like this just as much as I like the film, which is one of my favourite films of all time.

David naughton and Griffin dunne best two actors

My favorite werewolf film

Very good. Plugs a few gaps with regards to the first werewolf and the connection to the slaughtered lamb and its patrons. Great to hear some of the movie cast in there too.

Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome performance. Great backstory on the original werewolf.

That was so good I loved it!

Very good like it all alot

This is phenomenal; perfect for a rainy October afternoon. Thank you

Who are the party poopers who gave this a thumbs down. I love this!

Bloody excellent 👍🏾💯. Thank you, respect and admiration for sharing. The film has been one of my favourites since it's release, the play has big shoes to fill, and does a very good job of it.

This phenomenal film inspired thriller

Fun fact, the guy who plays Jack Goodman in this, William Dufris, was also the original voice of Bob, from the British cartoon Bob the Builder, in the American version specifically, let that sink its teeth into you a moment...

Adored the film in the 80’s so glad most of the cast is in this dramatisation

This play is slightly different to the film. There is about twenty percent added to the play than was in the film. The play goes into more detail to where the man who turned into the werewolf on the moors came from. The story tells us more about the people from the village. If you turn on the subtitles there is a case of Chinese whispers lots of words and sentences do not match what the actors' are saying. At times it is very funny. They made a mistake to do with the play when David is switching the channels on the television. He mentions Channel 4, the film is set in 1981 and Channel 4 did not open up until 1984. If you liked to film the play is worth listening too as well. It goes into more detail to do where the story to do with werewolves came from. I would give the play ten out of ten.

Groundbreaking affects of the time much more powerful than cgi

I would like to see this as a mini series

I like how the asylum paitent turning into the werewolf is called "Talbot". The universal films, the old black and white ones, the wolf man's name was Lawrence Talbot.

I like the backstory in the asylum.

I love this story and I love audiobooks and I saw the movie to the movies good

One of my favourite love stories.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Amazing production!

Wish they would have kept the opening asylum part in the film, sounds good, would have been great to see.

Utterly brilliant! Well worth listening to. Thanks

Brilliant . Most audio fun I've had in yonks . I saw the film donkey's years ago , thought I remembered it , didn't at all . There's so much humour amidst the necessary bloodletting , + impeccable acting , and , crystal clear production . Yeah , relaxing , fun , recommended .

Super👍

Had to have a cup of Tetley Tea whilst listening to this.... No idea why lol. Serious though.. Awesome stuff ✌️

It took me awhile to understand that "see you next Wednesday" thing.

Gotta love a bit of Brian Glover RIP

David Kesler got to find jack in his dream 34:11

I Love The Voice of The Actress From The Call The Midwife TV Series And Railway Children Move Jenny Agutter PS Love The Mistory Of This Story Making This Sound Like The 39 Steps Or Aggether Christie Murder Mistory Story Thank You.

Excellent audio book

RIP Brian Glover

Poor David

20:12 why don't you travel to the UK, they said, it'll be fun, they said

Don’t worry Jack, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of fish in the water once you gain admittance from the gods and make it to the spirit world, but then again what do I know?

2020!

Really enjoying this. I love the film. Have subscribed 👍

that was brilliant. Alex has probably got a baby werewolf in her tummy

18:49 "what was that?" "Sounds like a cheap dinosaur roar from a 1950s movie. So we're fine. "

He foresaw the Churchill thing

Forgot to say… always nervous on the escalator on the underground at Tottenham Court Road 🙀🙀🙀

This is just brilliant. Was the asylum reference here used in the film? I like the fact Jenny Agutter starred in this as she was in the movie too!! 8*/10! As a footnote Brian Glover who stars in this and the film also starred in Alien lll the film that's set on the prison! Won't say more incase people havnt seen it, don't want to ruin it for them. He has sadly passed away a few years ago, a great character actor, old school!! Also Michael Jackson saw the main change into a werewolf and asked John Landis to direct his new video called yeah u guessed it "Thriller" were MJ changes into a werewolf!! Brilliant video, a must watch and that's the 14min version!!

Did anyone else catch that the first lunatic werewolfs name that killed Jack was Larry Talbot..I thought that was pretty cool..took me a couple of listens to catch it 😆 🤣

*2019!* 😃

Thank you, I’ve been looking for this dramatisation for years. Every bit as good as I hoped. Any chance you can dig out the deleted scenes (from the movie).

Why do the werewolves sound like King Kong '76?

So that's how the origin of werewolf from the asylum got breakout...

Do you remember Jenny Agutter? She was SO fine

This is much better than the film. 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

I cracked up, when he said "You made me... spill my beer. 😂😂. I guess he don't play darts. 🎯

😢 the ending

I like the '76 King Kong roar used for werewolf. Better than the original.

The roar was the same roar from jerry in Tom and jerry I think lol The episode was the milky waif

48:45 - This is a surprise - I didn't expect this.

Imagine if he transformed in the hospital though or on the plane back home.

1:04:26 1st Transformation 1:33:30 2nd Transformation

wow this was really good they dont make like this any more with sounds fxs not just reading

That's enough.

I wish with the movie American werewolf in London movie they would have shown the asylum scene because because that would of given usa better idea and clue on who the werewolf was and who and the name of the werewolf was and the village kept it a secret at all these time this sounds it would have been pretty cool in the movie I hope in the remake of the movie I hope they show the asylum scene the guard and the wolf escaping and the helicopter seen as well and all the things you here on this recording and and all the things we missed out what the people talking in the movie

1:39:45 Awesome explanation! This is an example of a very good writing!

@1:14:26 🤔 Hmm. Must be a deleted scene with an uncredited actor. Oh well.

This is almost better than the movie

Anyone else notice that the escaped lunatic goes by the name of Tolbert?

1:40:06 I like this updated addition with this discussion Dr Hirsch is having with Alex about superstition rooted in some possible infection and the origin of the residents of East Proctor , back in the 80s it was just a werewolf curses and nothing more

Sadly, the werewolf sounds in this adio drama are terrible, while the werewolf sounds in the movie were positively terrifying!!!

1:33:47 transformation 2

The change in David's voice as he transforms is a really good device to convey what's happening, and a pretty scary element. Not sure about the part in the taxi where the doctor is explaining the Eastern European folklore stuff, bit of an exposition dump out of nowhere. Other than that: really good adaptation with some interesting story choices throughout.

Did anyone else spot that David called Jack a hamburger, but they kept in the "I'm sorry I called you a meatloaf, Jack" line?

If they do a remake of American werewolf in London I reckon I should have the asylum seen as the start of the movie dal make more sense in the story have already don't give me was good and everything but if they do a remake of American werewolf in London dial love to see the asylum scene

Can someone please tell me the name of the sexy music with David and Alex

The nurse sounds exactly like Jenny.,did she play her role again???

Brilliantly the Dr explains the origin of the werewolf from 16th C Europe!
