American Werewolf Series Episode 2
Before Moonrise
Julie Delpy has a long history of capturing moviegoers’ hearts, but she never needed to pulverize those beating organs in a blender and drink blood smoothies until she starred in An American Werewolf in Paris. Is Yank tourist Tom Everett Scott (That Thing You Do) doomed to repeat the transformation that fellow countryman David Naughton underwent in 1981 London? Or do things look different for this Wolf Man once he leaps off the Eiffel Tower and falls in with a pack of lupine supremacists? Donate for Silver Level to double your daredevil points now!
