John Landis's 1981 cult classic gets the big screen treatment at The Beverly Theater, bringing werewolf transformations and dark comedy to downtown Las Vegas's most intimate movie house. The film follows two American backpackers attacked on the English moors, blending genuine scares with sharp wit in a way that's influenced horror-comedy ever since—Rick Baker's practical transformation effects still hold up as some of the most memorable in the genre, all warped bones and stretching skin rendered without a hint of CGI.

Watching it in the Beverly's 150-seat main theater means catching every grisly detail on a proper screen, with the kind of acoustics that let the film's iconic transformation sequence hit just as hard as it did in theaters over four decades ago. It's a solid pick for horror fans who appreciate the genre's roots, or anyone curious what all the fuss is about with this oddball blend of laughs and gore.
