I'm watching "an American werewolf in London"...

On SyFy right now....is it not one of the best horror flicks ever? The scenes were cutting edge in the early 80's and still hold up well against the CGI of today....the nazi-demon dream sequence is intense, ad is the deer chase/eat sequence....

and it is a great film.

Back then they actually had to tell a story and actors had to act, instead of relying on CGI covering up ridiculous story lines.

have seen it at least a dozen times. Among the many things to love about that movie: the musical selection is hilarious, and Jenny Agutter was one hot number.

Also had some snarky humor: Dealing with the transfer back to human form -- running through central London naked, covering the naughty bits with balloons.

"......ah naked American man stole my balloons!"

"Whhhhhaaaaaaat?!....."

The scene where he meets is victims is classic.....describing all the ways he could kill himself.....the blonds chirpy happy voice kills me....

Let the audience relax after intense scenes. If every scene is high intensity, audience eventually tunes out.

Saw it a couple of times years ago but it's always a favorite.

There really are some hilarious scenes
