🌕🐺 I have dreams of showing myself in full form, as whatever I suppress inside of me slowly makes me lose my mind. A full moon is blooming...

👋 Hey guys! I suppose I should start by saying how much I love werewolves, and when it comes to movies about them, not many people get it right. And I should know, since I happen to be a werewolf myself, of a certain kind**.**

This masterpiece was directed by John Landis, who spent over a decade trying to get the film made. It brilliantly balances genuine, blood-chilling horror with sharp dark humour, while completely revolutionising practical effects through the work of master makeup artist Rick Baker. And it’s the kind of practical movie magic that we hardly see these days.

The film, made way back in 1981, follows two American backpackers who are attacked by a nasty beast on the English moors. One is killed, while the survivor, David, is left with a bloody bite wound. While recovering in hospital, in London, he is haunted by his dead friend, who warns him of his looming transformation into a werewolf at the next full moon. This film is so sick.

The Meetup: We’ll be gathering at the Victory House Wine Bar at 7:30 pm to talk about the different kinds of lycanthropy and werewolves. Then, after a few drinks, we’ll head next door to the Prince Charles Cinema for the 8:30 pm screening. You’ll find me in seat D14 if you’d like to sit in the same row.

After the film, at around 10:25 pm, we’ll regroup again at the bar to share our thoughts and, give it our Letterboxd scores. You’ll also find the full ticket information, cinema address and map down below, so you won’t get lost.

For now though, I think the moon this evening will be a waning crescent, but I suggest you continue to stick to the roads and stay off the moors, as the transformation inside is guaranteed. 🌘🐺

See you guys there!
Jonny
