@@sonnymontigny4733 Rob Bottin worked for Rick Baker before branching out on his own, and The Howling was his first movie, and he also consulted with Rick Baker on a lot of the work he did in The Howling. But in my opinion, the transformation in this movie is still the best.

[@gary_payton]

Fun Fact: The actor who played the tiny role of representative from the embassy is THE most famous person in this movie. Sadly not a household name, Frank Oz nevertheless has crafted timeless characters as a puppeteer for Jim Henson Studios. Beloved characters like Bert, Grover, Fozzy, the Cookie Monster and Ms. Piggy. Still his greatest performance yet awaited. Puppeting, voicing and emboding with life one of the MOST iconic characters in the history of film. A little green being named Yoda. ❤❤❤

"The Howling" is considered the second best 80's werewolf flick and also has a memorable in-camera werewolf transformation. Special effects guru Rick Baker's understudy, Rob Bottin, did the creature effects. Baker worked on this film. It also uses a kind of tongue-in-cheek approach to the horror genre.

[@sergeantbigmac]

I for one am glad you watched it the 'right way' IE you understood the dark humor as Landis (a comedy film director primarily) intentioned. He is partially mocking the goofiness of the genre and playing fun with the tropes while also happening to make the best werewolf movie at the time to elevate his point. A lot of people dont get it/want to get it because they go in expecting pure horror or something.

[@holddowna]

Thanks! We loved it! And had fun! Thanks for watching!

[@Scallycowell]

The film has that wonderful gothic horror skepticism, where there’s always a secondary perspective given by a character in the story that casts doubt on the reality of what the audience is seeing. There’s totally a reading where the werewolf and ghosts are entirely metaphorical, manifestations of violence and guilt.

[@kevincalhoun5612]

Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda and numerous Muppets plays the man from the American embassy, which makes his line about ungrateful kids even better.

[@holddowna]

[@desoliver9712]

For the Americans... Northern England is very far from London (in the *South* of England). When David was attacked, he was transferred to a London-based hospital whilst he was unconscious, perhaps because his injuries were so serious. Accents - English people find American accents very easy to understand. On the whole, Americans find English accents, especially northern accents or southern working-class accents quite difficult to understand. Remember the Alamo - The Alamo is a 1960 American epic historical war film about the 1836 Battle of the Alamo produced and directed by John Wayne. The film depicts the Battle of the Alamo and the events leading up to it. Sam Houston led the forces of Texas against Mexico-hence 'remember the alamo, and chucks out (throws out) the Mexican'. The Moors - an expanse of open rolling infertile land often covered with heather. Circumcision is not very common in the UK (even today), the only reason you'd get it is for religious reasons, or if there was some medical justification for it. The director of this movie also directed Michael Jacksons Thriller. So glad you got the humour.

@11:10 I'm not sure this is the reaction the director was hoping for from the audience XD

[@holddowna]

We had a great time maybe too much fun loved this movie I also didn’t know the background to the scene, it was more the way it was shot that kinda came out of no where and it hit my funny bone

[@BlueSummers101]

@@holddowna Well to be fair you can never have too much fun IMO. I have watched various reactors to this film and scene and no one has reacted the way both of you did, I was laughing almost as much as you guys did while I was watching you react to it XD

[@mike79p]

The man killed in the subway played Bib Fortuna in Return of the Jedi

[@holddowna]

ahh! i kept thinking like he looked like Bill Nighy

[@stevenorellano2039]

The naked stranger on the moors was the were wolf. It was dead so it changed back to its human form.

[@holddowna]

Yes totally got that in the end!

[@wakebacon8301]

Amazing how this movie still holds up, the special effects are just classic to the Bone and we are spoiled by the CG era. The talent it takes to do that make up/practical effects is 100% a lost art. The weird guy from the US Embassy is none other than Frank Oz famous for Kermit, Ms Piggy and of coarse Jedi Master Yoda!

[@holddowna]

LOVE practical effects SO much! Thanks so much for watching! Crazy fun fact about embassy dude lol

[@Madbandit77]

Frank didn't voice Kermit. That was the late Jim Henson.

[@chrispeel3123]

Frank Oz also had a small role in the Blues Brothers. He's the prison guard at the start handing back the possessions. Corrections Officer : One Timex digital watch, broken. One unused prophylactic. [looks disgusted, picks something up with his pen] One soiled.

Best song and scene: "Moondance". (or anything with Jenny Agutter, IMHO)

[@holddowna]

Hahahn

[@ploppill34]

“ someone in the other room, thought he was having a bad dump”….😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@holddowna]

LOLOL

[@deguello66]

You really should watch An American Werewolf in Paris. You'll really enjoy it!!!!

[@holddowna]

We must!

[@Pavaroso]

Maybe they keep the werewolves alive in that little town? They shot it dead already when they "rescued" David.

[@holddowna]

Wellll maybe I mean the next one in line 🙃

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

That mutant Nazi wolf nightmare is one of the most random and ridiculous scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

[@nitrokid]

AWiL's animatronics is legendary. A lotta heart and effort poured into that transformation scene. I also liked the part where the werewolf sees his past victims everywhere. That's considered a new take on werewolf lore. Another werewolf classic is The Howling which is oldie but a goodie. The Wolf Man (1941) and its 2010 remake, The Wolfman, are pretty good too 👍

[@holddowna]

I am blown away by the artistry in this film! That’s cool that it was another take on werewolf lore! I gota put those on my list! Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisReise]

7:12 Fun Fact: this bald guy from the embassy with the funny voice is Frank Oz. The man who is famous for the voices of Miss Piggy & Yoda.

[@holddowna]

I LOVE this!

[@joeyclemenza7339]

Yes!!! Micheal Jackson was a HUUUGE fan of this movie. So much so, that he recruited both John Landis to direct the video for Thriller, and Rick Baker to also work on the special effects for both the werewolf and zombie sequences. This flick is absolutely an American horror/comedy classic!!

[@holddowna]

Love that! Thanks for ur comment!

[@ivanord1764]

You both laughed at scenes that should have shocked. Took the piss out of the British accent and a film that millions think is a great film, who have loved it since it came out

[@holddowna]

We did love this!!! I’m fascinated by it and the make up and have loved horror films my whole life! We mean no disrespect! We just had a lot of silly fun and just being ourselves…This movie is a Halloween staple for me now!
