John Landis wrote the screenplay for An American Werewolf in London (1981) when he was just 19 years old, though it took over a decade to get made because studios didn't know how to market a film that blended genuine scares with dark comedy. The groundbreaking transformation sequence, created by makeup artist Rick Baker, took six hours to film and earned Baker the first-ever Academy Award for Best Makeup—a category created specifically because of his work on this film. The sequence remains a benchmark for practical effects, showing every painful detail of bones cracking and flesh stretching. Landis deliberately juxtaposed the horror with upbeat songs like "Blue Moon" and "Bad Moon Rising," creating a tonal balance that influenced countless horror-comedies that followed.
