Homemade Remake of the Transformation Scene From ‘An American Werewolf in London’ Starring Max Landis

Cinefix has created a homemade remake of the transformation scene from John Landis‘ 1981 horror comedy film An American Werewolf in London. The remake guest stars Los Angeles-based screenwriter and son of John Landis, Max Landis. The new episode of Homemade Movies (see previously) was directed by Pasadena, California-based animator and musician Dustin McLean of DustFilms.

It was recently John Landis’ birthday, and son Max has decided to give him a very special birthday present: stepping into David Naughton’s shoes and re-enacting the transformation scene from ‘An American Werewolf in London.’ We probably won’t win an Oscar for Best Makeup for this homemade effort, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

CineFix also created a side-by-side comparison and behind-the-scenes video:
