An American Werewolf in London (released in Germany as "American Werewolf"), the 1981 John Landis (who also wrote the script when he was 19) English/U.S. romantic wolf man monster black comedy horror thriller ("From the director of Animal House... a different kind of animal."; "The Monster Movie"; "A Masterpiece of terror"; "Fantastic ...frightening ...funny ...!!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that many times in the past we have sold the rather bland 'regular' version of this poster (featuring an image of Naughton and Dunne looking scared) but this "international" style one-sheet, which features totally different art of a blood-red wolf against a black background, is far more rare than the regular poster, and is far more desired by collectors! We have only auctioned seven examples of it over our many years of auctioning, and several of those were in much lesser condition. Note that this one-sheet measures 25" x 39 1/2" [64 x 100 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box and NSS information.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and many small creases, scuffs, and areas of surface paper loss along the folds. It had a long diagonal scuff in the right center, in the solid black area, with many other creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster (in addition, it had been lightly partially folded in half an extra time, and there were creases and scuffs on those partial extra folds). It also had many tiny staple holes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
