And so it begins: All Hallow’s Eve. Did you know that the “American Werewolf (in London)” was actually filmed while the guys were over in England? It’s true. I would shit you not, nor shit on you for that matter. I may have a few strands of German heritage wound up in my DNA, but that doesn’t genetically mean that spielen mit scheisse is my cup of tea. Ah, tea time! Which must mean we’ve textually circled back to merry olde England after just a quick potty stop in Germany. Jolly good, guv’nor, just ignore me cockney and run along now. Incidentally, what I most appreciated about this silly footage of Chris Pontius* racing about barking mad in the streets of London as a rubber-headed werewolf is that someone on the crew—no matter how many pints of pils they may have been pissed on at the time—still had the presence of mind to carry out the mythic tale to its morning completion. Cheers! And Happy Halloween, ye wee masked bastards (except for Big Country, who has since proven he’s not wee in the least).

* I’ve taken rather a fancy to asterisks of late, but that’s just the aside kinda guy I am. Anyway, I was talking to Chris a week or two back and he reminded me of the pick-up shot he and I had filmed just outside the production offices here in LA. He donned the werewolf mask one more time to make a pit stop, so to speak, and shake his third leg in dog-like fashion. This peeing clip, I believe, was later nixed by MTV so it never made the final cut.
