Something I've always found unsettling is how *sudden* the transformation just hits. It's literally a split second change from perfectly calm, no pain at all to the most head splitting, horrible sensations David can feel as his body literally changes on probably a DNA Level, his flesh and bones reform into new shapes, etc. It just made it all the more horrifying when he's relaxed, calm and suddenly the pain just slams into him. It's truly horrifying.

It was the first year the Academy acknowledged Best Makeup. It was occasionally given as a "Special Achievement Award" before it was an actual category in the Awards ceremony. In 1980, when Christopher Tucker's makeup for "The Elephant Man" went completely unacknowledged by the Academy, people were very upset. The Academy almost immediately the next year started the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Category and "American Werewolf" was the first winner. Now, if only the Academy started giving out statues for Stuntwork. That also has gone on completely unacknowledged for far too long.

@radartechnicianbob8208 2 года назад

Having been totally blind since birth, I have to say this still scares the crap out of me anyway! The sound effects alone are enough to make one feel sick to the stomach, yet unable to stop the movie. Seems like most transformation scenes these days use stock sound effects. This one sounds like nothing I've heard before, and ya gotta give it to folks in the 80s. They always killed it in sound as well as visuals. My kingdom for a descriptive audio narration track that could be turned on or off though. I'd love to get a better look, so to speak.

@ThomasDrish 2 месяца назад

I was 11 years old when I watched this movie, and needless to say, have watched many horror movies after this, but this scene alone stands out. David was such a likable lead that I didn’t want to believe he was going to become a werewolf, and wanted to believe that Jack was just a figment of his imagination. When he finally transforms into the werewolf, not only were these scenes edited together flawlessly, but you could also see the fight that he was giving to not change over. It’s the only time ever in cinematic history where the viewer feels empathy for not only the victims, but for the antagonist as well. I just wanted to cry when he became the werewolf, because the film spent so much time giving David’s character emotional depth.

The transformation trascends as the most important aspect of this scene. But there is more. This scene made the movie inmortal because it is a perfect horror scene. It builds the tension up gradually, starting with the dog, the cat and the window. It constructs David's boredom so that we get distracted, and then, all of the sudden, it explodes and it does not stop until it is so horrific that it is difficult to watch. Oh and dont forget Creedence to make it sarcastic and almost joyful!

Always wondered how did the werewolf get out of that building? Then go back to when David went outside for a sec and left both the main door and apartment door opened....! Its little thing's like these that keep you in suspense!

I was thinking the exact same thing...how'd he get out of that building? Surely he didn't leave the doors open all day? Even if he did...the other tenants would have closed them. They would hear him screaming. Somebody would see a 200lb monster in a area that populated.

He left the doors open

But also when he was changing the lights were on then when the Dr calls Alex's flat, the lights are off 🤔

@johnlaslett5339 2 года назад

Either way......ITS A MOVIE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember watching this movie as a kid and I still love it to this day! One of the best werewolf transformations ever!👍🏼🤩❤️

@Vortigan07 Год назад

42 years old, and you'd *still* rate this over and above anything that modern CGI can do!! A truly phenomenal piece of work!

That was done so well in the movie... it was and still is one of the best Werewolves and how David turned into the Werewolf scene was and is still one of the best scenes of someone turning into a Werewolf... My all time favorite "Werewolf" movie.... Loved the humor in it... I was 13 years old when it came out in the movies. I saw it in the movies....and loved it!!! Still do...

I love how the pain from the transformation is instant. No slow build up.

@jordanrobinson902 2 года назад

Arguably one of the gnarliest transformations ever

@Lightsoul1987 Год назад

You know what the scariest thing about all this is. Not the transformation, not the werewolf but that the movie wants us to believe that one nurse alone can pay the rent for such an apartment in London.

@daughterofolaf 9 месяцев назад

I don’t know that most people would know whether that is believable or not. Did nurses there make so very little at the time or is it that tiny apartments were insanely expensive back then?

7:50 If you've played "Altered Beast", then you know where the howling came from, for the Wolfman.

@happyfeet4506 2 года назад

This is the one and only werewolf movie. A, work of pure genius and the human to werewolf is the best there has ever been and the best there will ever be.

@artemente2216 Год назад

One of the best creature effects of all time. Cool how you can see the wolf wanting to come out.

@noodles169 Год назад

Greatest werewolf movie of all time. An absolute blast of a movie 👍

@daveredinger1947 2 года назад

Best transformation ever .. right.... Kudos to everyone in the movie... To David and Rick Baker... Especially.

@codyerickson3550 2 года назад

Whenever someone tries to tell you that CGI is better than practical effects and makeup, show them this scene.

@Howlingburd19 Месяц назад

Not enough credit is given to David Naughton who’s acting and sounds of agony truly made it seem like his character was in TOTAL pain throughout the transformation!

@jstnsmutek Месяц назад

Him begging and pleading really makes this scene powerful

@richardstorm4603 2 года назад

Of all the werewolf movies, there are no equals to this classic.

@johncodee9175 2 года назад

Absolutely!

@richardstorm4603 2 года назад

They say that the 1981 classic The Howling is an equal.

I thought the initial reaction should have been a little more gradual. Like maybe wiping the sweat off his face while reading, then slowly but surely starting to feel the pain of what was going to happen. The way he reacts from reading to transformation is almost funny.

@Yeomannn Год назад

Agreed, but this movie was designed as a horror-comedy

@travisvanalst4698 Год назад

“Bad moon rising” is such a fantastic song choice before the transformation.

@petermichaels2009 4 месяца назад

And “Blue Moon” is a good choice during the transformation

@garrisonnichols807 2 года назад

5:13 The Greatest special effects scene in Movie History. It will never be equaled or surpassed. Period!

@josephnajarian2038 5 дней назад

The part of the transformation where his face stretches forward (right after the Mickey Mouse figurine shot) absolutely blows my mind. How Rick Baker managed to achieve a practical effect like that is nothing short of incredible; it looks FRIGHTENINGLY realistic. Also shout out to David Naughton for his great acting here. There’s obviously a massive difference between acting like you’re in pain and ACTUALLY being in excruciating pain, and yet he blurs that difference.
