Coffee With Griffin Dunne

If you are reading the Coffee With title part and scratching your head at the name Griffin Dunne, don't worry, you just haven't watched the right horror movie yet.

For those of us who have, we realize that Griffin Dunne played Jack Goodman in An American Werewolf in London. Some consider it a comedy-horror, I just look at it as a horror.

If you are unfamiliar with the film, it features two American graduate students guys backpacking in England, when the two wandered off the road they were told to stay on and were attacked by a beast, later on finding out it was a werewolf.  One of the students was brutally killed, Jack, while the other was just bitten some but now turns into a werewolf because of it. 

And even though Jack was killed, he still makes appearances in the film and talks to David and is the one who reveals to him what really happened to the both of them.

The film included some cool scenes including varying looks of Jack's return and what I consider one of the best human-to-werewolf transformations in horror movie history.

When I found Griffin on the checklist for Leaf Pop Century,

 

I grabbed the autograph because this was a movie I watched time and time again with my mother growing up. It was one of her favorite werewolf movies other than The Howling. 

I actually preferred this one over The Howling. 

This autograph actually serves as a two-way find as Griffin also played Uncle Nicky on the series This Is Us. A show that was superb and one that my wife and I binged.

But, for the focus of today's post on Halloween, I stuck to the Halloween movie. But, please if you haven't yet, watch This Is Us. So many plot twists and turns. I do suggest though not watching the final two episodes, I consider the final episode the third to last episode. That's the way it should have ended.

Let me know in comments today if you have seen this movie and what your favorite werewolf movie is!

I will end this post short so you guys can get ready today for the kids and I will end it with some candy, coffee and cards. Because who doesn't buy extra Halloween candy? We say it's for the kids, but while we are saying that we have four Reeses in our mouths. It's okay, I get it. Go ahead. Eat that candy (especially if it's coffee flavored). I won't tell.
