An American Werewolf in Londonstarred David Naughton and Griffin Dunne as David and Jack, two college students whose backpacking trip through Britain goes awry after being attacked by a werewolf. While David survives, Jacks ghost visits him and informs him that hes now a werewolf. When David ignores the news, it leads to a killing spree, an awkward morning after in the London Zoo and a grisly end.

The film also boasted a famously ironic soundtrack that included Van Morrisons Moondance alongside renditions of Blue Moon by both Bobby Vinton and Sam Cooke and the Marcels. Creedence Clearwater Revivals Bad Moon Rising was used in the moments before Davids iconic transformation. One notable absence from the soundtrack: Warren Zevons Werewolves of London.
