AHAHAHAHA WIKI ARE YOU SHITTING ME? This movie isnt a romantic comedy. It has a woman. It has a man. He turns into a werewolf and gets shot and dies. There are about 5 jokes in the movie. This is a horror movie. There is gore and decapitation and more blood.This is stupid. Delete this article and stop deleting music articles. And why is every singer under the gay icons category? Is wiki going to the dogs? -Gates, not bothering to sign in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.95.116.133 (talk • contribs).

It's certainly not a 'romantic' comedy but this has many OBVIOUS comedic elements

It's a perfect blend of comedy & horror in almost equal measures, how could you miss the genius comedy running through this film?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.116.129 (talk • contribs)

Comedy / horror / thriller

Okay, let's take this to the talk page. What genre does this film belong to? Apart from the flirtation with "romantic comedy" documented above, it's been listed as "comedy horror" for a while now. User:Sennen goroshi dropped the "comedy" because he disagreed with it, I dug through the references for the article to find a reviewer highlighting the comedy aspect of it, and Sennen has now checked the official website and recategorised it as a thriller, which seems even further from the mark (and I'm not sure what part of the site he's taken that from, although it is a fairly confusing place to navigate). What do other editors think? --McGeddon 15:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

once you go to the official site, and click 'enter the moors' a flash intro starts and says blah blah blah blah thriller. thriller sounds dumb, but thats what it says. i still think its horror rather than comedy horror, it's certainly not 'scream' or something along those lines. its a horror movie with a touch of comedy. kinda hard to deal with. i say horror. you say comedy horror, the official site says thriller.Sennen goroshi 16:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still lean towards comedy/horror. It employs black comedy rather than slapstick, as used in Scary Movie or other comedy/horror films. Its certainly not a thriller, as most people would use the term, despite what the official site says. I suppose it could go without the comedy title just because it is mostly a horror film, and many could watch it for the horror aspect alone and completely miss the humor aspects. Go ahead and relabel it if you must, thanks for discussing the issue. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 12:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

after seeing how stupid thriller looked there, Im happy for it to remain as a comedy horror, well Im not 100%, but I dont see the need for me to be an ass about it. comedy/horror it is.Sennen goroshi 16:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:An American Werewolf in Londonhorror.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Location. Hampstead?

I'm sure some of the scenes around the girlfriend's flat are filmed on Haverstock Hill, Hampstead. It's not mentioned in the article. Does anyone recognise the big old church? Spanglej (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History

Ok, I've read this sentence through several times, but cannot understand what it is supposed to mean. "This made Landis realize that he could never be able to confront the undead and gave him the idea for a film in which a man of his own age would go through such a thing." Is it supposed to say "would never" instead of "could never"? Even so, it still doesnt make much sense to me.
