Wait a second... Has one of the most famous monster movies in horror actually been a HoRoCo all along? Now that a new month is here (welcome to 2025, everybody!), we're continuing WWVVSDE (Werewolf vs. Vampire Seasonal Depression Event) with An American Werewolf in London (1981), a flick that manages to balance body horror and bisexual bed chem with surprising grace. Between writer/director John Landis's colorful comedic interjections and the legendary Rick Baker's intense, practical effects transformation, this film has a lot going for it, and we're digging our claws in on a new episode of Spooky Tuesday.
