Beware the moon!

One of my all-time favourite films - I am delighted to have in stock this original first draft, with alternate ending, of An American Werewolf in London

 John Landis' cult 80s horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London starred David Naughton as David Kessler, an American student backpacking through England who gets bitten by a werewolf and tragically becomes one himself. Creature F/X master Rick Baker's extraordinary man-to-wolf transformations won Baker the first Academy Award for makeup when it became a regular yearly category.

In this first draft script, the movie ends with a ghoulish vaudeville-style musical revue in the afterlife where the film's deceased characters sing "Shine on Harvest Moon!"

Description and Condition:

Studio bound and bradded 100-page script written by John Landis and with no date on the cover or title page. This was American actor William Finley's personal copy. Near fine to fine with only minor expected age and handling. 8.5 x 11.25 in.

Published by Universal in 1981.

Provenance: From the family and Estate of the late American actor William Finley.

Fast becoming the go to guy in sourcing and selling the finest originals from Peter Beard. Very professional, highly recommend.
It was a real pleasure to work with Mr Oliver Bayliss, even from abroad, everything went so smoothly. You can consign your valuable books with confidence !
Oliver sold a book for me recently and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Bayliss rare books are great to deal with and thanks to Oliver’s experience and salesmanship I was very happy with the final deal.
Highly professional service, extremely knowledgeable and easy to deal with, he's a collector first and foremost and you can see he cares.
Repeat customer. I've bought 4 books now from Oliver. Extremely knowledgeable in his field, he always has really interesting pieces in stock. He has hand delivered 2 of the books I have bought and sent the other 2 out by post. Would highly recommend.
