AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) Original One Sheet 27x41 Poster

Original 1981 theatrical one-sheet movie poster (27 x 41 inches) for AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, John Landis’s classic horror-comedy and one of the most celebrated werewolf films ever made. The poster features a striking and suspenseful image of David Naughton and Griffin Dunne under a glowing full moon, perfectly capturing the film’s blend of dread, humor, and atmosphere. The tagline at the top, “From the director of Animal House… A different kind of animal,” highlights Landis’s bold shift from comedy to genre-defining horror. Released by PolyGram Pictures, the film stars David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, Griffin Dunne, and John Woodvine, and is renowned for its groundbreaking transformation effects by Rick Baker, which won the very first Academy Award for Best Makeup. The film has since become a cult classic and a cornerstone of modern horror cinema, making original theatrical posters highly desirable among collectors. This is the standard U.S. one-sheet format measuring 27 x 41 inches, printed for original theatrical exhibition and not a reproduction or reprint. Condition: The poster is in very good overall condition with expected signs of original theatrical use. Original fold lines are present, including a vertical center fold and horizontal folds, with light wear and minor stress visible at some fold intersections. There is minor edge and corner wear, along with light creasing consistent with age and handling. No major tears, tape stains, or significant paper loss are apparent. Colors remain strong with excellent contrast, particularly in the dark background and moonlit imagery, making this a highly displayable original example that would also benefit from professional linen backing if desired.
