"Beware the moon, lads."
Still frightening and funny 38 years later.
The transformation scene was absolutely incredible, but also really painful. You literally hear every bone crack in his body, and all his organs reshaping and shifting. No other werewolf movie has topped that scene and never will. The song Bad Moon Rising is the icing on the cake.
Rick Baker make-up work is masterful. He's the real beast here.
