From one of the greatest directors of the 1980s, John Landis, and with landmark special makeup effects by Rick Baker, Zavvi presents a stunning, exclusive special entertainment set of the iconic ‘An American Werewolf in London’

Containing a new 4K Ultra HD Arrow Video release housed in the base of a collectable statuette, this zavvi exclusive limited edition collectors package is a must own!

The limited edition resin based statuette features a fantastic sculpt of the famous transformation hand mid-way through turning into the beast, which in turn is set into a London Underground themed base referencing the first kill of the unlucky late night office worker, and featuring a ‘See You Next Wednesday’ movie poster (a movie title gag used by John Landis in almost all his films to date)

  • Statuette Size: Approx 22cm x 17cm x 25cm
  • Materials: Resin
