Frankenstein meets the Wolfman

Concept art and the finished puppet/suit/rig by Rick Baker for An American Werewolf in London (1981). The first time I saw it I was about 10. That transformation scene: man. You could almost feel it happening to yourself. In later years though, whenever I would think of the film, the first images that popped up were of those misty moors at the beginning of the film. Tense.
