The people who boarded the train are the luckiest people in the movie. They narrowly avoided being victims of the werewolf.

The best thing about this scene is the last frame. Throughout it the element of panic is never seen, leaving the viewer in full tension during the journey. But right at the end the director gives us something of that horrifying morbidity: finally seeing the monster walk towards its victim, only for a few seconds and ambiguously at the vanishing point of the frame. This is the high point of Landis's photographic mastery on film. One of many that has between the excellent violent comic writing and its special effects.

"I can assure you that this is not in the least bit amusing. I shall report this!" -such a British thing to say.

Who here thinks this werewolf is the scariest out of all werewolves?

This is my favorite scene in the whole movie. The tension, the pacing, the cinematography is perfect down to a T. Also, the fact that you don't see David's Werewolf hardly at all during the chase without any music is almost something straight of Hitchcock

This scene is brilliant. The cinematography is perfect in building up the tension.

Fun trivia fact: the actor who plays Gerald Bringsley (the subway victim)-Michael Carter-is the same actor who plays Bib Fortuna in Return of the Jedi.

I'll bet that werewolf roar, and the sound of the subway back to back made moviegoers jump back in 81.

The greatest ever werewolf movie! ❤

The Werewolf simply performing his ‘carnivorous lunar activities’😉

This scene made me very scared to be in a subway. Jus rhe thought of a werewolf being in the dark tunnels would terrify me as a child growing up

This movie captured calm suspense before the brutal monster slaughter PERFECTLY.

That roar, made th hair on my forearms stand on end, literally

When i saw this film around aged 6/7 the underground scene was the one that totally freaked me out.

probably one of my favorite horror movie scenes. It's suspenseful and eerie.

"Beware the moon David..."

3:11 Falling face first into the escalator like that is more painful than anything a werewolf could do to you.

3:20 It's kind of scary to think that what killed him wasn't just the wolf, it was the fact that he stood there waiting to see if the beast was following him, the chances of him escaping were slim to none, but maybe if he had gotten up after he had fallen down the escalator and kept running to the exit, he might had survived, but the power of fear was stronger

Imagine being that dude and a Werewolf running for you in a well lit tunnel. That would be terrifying... Still not as scary as him laying on the escalator, those things are dangerous.

Gerald got angry at David for killing him, but he’s the one who had to do the most dramatic fall onto the escalator. And then he just sat there. The STAIRS WERE GOING UP.

1:54 - 2:01 I swear, those lines deserve to be a meme.

Love that quick glimpse at 3:23 where you get an idea of how massive it is.

I love this scene.

“I shall report this…” lamest threat ever. Especially to a werewolf!

I still think the actor for David is extremely attractive and talented.

Still think of this scene everytime I go on the Subway, every single time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🐺🌕

Warning: never go in a London Tube station at night

I saw the movie a long time ago and it's terrifying, it's my favorite, for me the best and I see it whenever I can, it's my favorite werewolf of all the sagas.

Dog made a good choice to run

Guy ran out of breath after a minute of running inside the tunnel. If he was in shape he might be alive.

If it's the scariest I don't know. But it's a perfect and might be one of the great low budget movies of all time!

Lo mejor de esta escena es el último cuadro. A lo largo de ella nunca se ve al elemento de pánico, dejando al espectador en plena tensión durante el trayecto. Pero justo al final el director nos regala algo de ese morbo horripilante: ver por fin al monstruo caminar hacia su víctima, solo por unos segundos y de forma ambigua en el punto de fuga del cuadro. Este es el punto cúspide de la mestria fotográfica de Landis en el film. Uno de muchos que tiene entre el excelente guión cómico violento y sus efectos especiales.

English people; even in the face of grave danger they speak impeccably, think of reporting to authority, and still run with their umbrellas and suitcases. He was more concerned about the London rains than saving his life.

Brother, if it were me, at the first noise I'd run out of there!

Who’s there? HOWL Yeah, time to run!☠️

he was a very good convincing actor i loved this scene

From BRAZILIAN with love❤

The dude has no sense of survival. Prioritises his suitcase. 😳

One thing I have always been curious about with the subway scene in this movie is how the heck did the Werewolf get into the subway without being seen I mean there are a lot of different ways into the subway system and the subway tunnels are endless and I'm sure if the Werewolf used one of the subway entrances surely someone would have seen it.

I think if I was one of those homeless men, I would have been gone at the first howl.

Why didnt he keep moving up the stairs????!!! I will say this: that IS the most frightening werewolf scene I ever saw!

Would have broken the underground speed record on that faithful night...

The best film than see

That howl is unlike any other.

Fun Star Wars Fact: The character Gerald Bringsley, the subway victim played by Michael Carter who is also the same actor who plays Bib Fortuna. "I shall report this! To Boba Fett."

The sound design is incredible. Half of what makes this a classic is the film's masterful use of sound (and lack thereof) to evoke terror.

I remember those ads on the escalator

What ever you do David stay out of the moonlight and don’t let it touch you

Poor man in the subway, killed by the were wolf 🐺

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE IT

the place is very fearful

Fun fact...this is the same actor who played molasar in the keep.....damned if i would have just sat there watching the werewolf climbing the elvator.

He was in wrong place at wrong time!

Oh no David’s left his umbrella behind

A wolfman has more human features than wolf. What makes this werewolf scary is that it’s a monstrous canine than a bipedal wolfman.

Está película la vi de chiquita,me dio terror ese lobo y su aullido,ahora de grande,tengo miedo igual

Overly polite English man. This sorta thing most definitely wouldn't happen in an American subway.

HIS UMBRELLA: HOW COME HE DOES NOT PICK IT UP AGAIN?

Eu tinha tanto medo quando era criança.

Apparently they shot a scene which showed the three tramps being killed but it never made the final cut. How I would LOVE to see that missing footage. Even just a storyboard. Anything!

3:30 Here he was lying there on the stairs in consciousness and saw that a werewolf was about to approach him... couldn't he get up and run on???/Вот лежал он там на лестнице в сознании и видел что на него оборотень вот вот подойдет ... Couldn't he get up and run on???/Он что не мог поднятся и побежать дальше??? in the London underground that there is no clock over the tonelle as in the Moscow subway???/в Лондонском метро что нету часов над тонеллем как в Московской подземке??? 1:58 why is there no scoreboard with a time by which it would be possible to determine because the London Underground works until 00:30/почему нет табло с временем по которому можно было бы определить ведь Лондонское метро до 00:30 работает

no WAY the underground was ever completely empty

If you hear a roar that sounds like a demonic bear dont YELL at it, Spedwalk the fk out of there quietly.

Imagine that underground today be 500 people down there

That werewolf 🐺 is so scary 😱

Hahahaha ain't hellhound that charming? XD

And that ladies and gentlemen is why I never travel on the tube at night.

Anyone want to go to the subway alone after this scene

Beware of the moon David

The man in the subway. Keep running for your life. Don't stay on the escalator. You are in great danger.

It's okay, folks. He'll be reincarnated as Bib Fortuna.

Werewolf takes london

The best in the life..

NATIVIDAD MARTINEZ WEREWOLF

Spielberg ruined going in the sea and Landis ruined going on the Underground at night lol 🦈😲🐺

Scarier than Godzilla!

The one time it would have been good to have missed your stop....

You made me miss!

I was 7 when I saw this scene couldn't go on trains for a long time

3:23

1981. I think the werewolf in London was Margaret Tatcher

1:41 Hello? Is someone there? 1:51 I can assure you that this is not the least bit amusing. I shall report this.

Full Moon Nights Aré Fearing And unsafe As The Werewolf Attacks

0:52

From India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 with love..

1986 ongner line closed

The good ole days of London when the underground was good and they had the RT Buses still and Routemasters near 20-30 years of age and the general layout of London no congestion Charge no ULEZ, the very early 80s was very like the 70s in a way up till 83 they say

A good pair of Nikes is whats needed :)))

That's not Winston.

I hope he got away.

I don't blame the people of East Proctor covering up a werewolf attack.

Bro get up and keep running I swear

I should report this.😂😂😂

This is so fuckin scary

I can assure you it's not the least bit funny.

It takes silver to kill a werewolf and the police in London and take a no chances

First comment bro!

Since when was there’s a Wendy’s in England? 🍔

David Is The Best Teen Werewolf I Have Ever Imagine? If I See You Coming Up To My Bedroom If I Take Down To My Knee And Said David Are You Okay Are You Lost When He Comes Up To My Knee When He Is Taken His Head Down To My Knee When He Is Gonna Howl Saying GET DOWN And I Will Get Down For Him When He Gets A Bad Sharp Pain If I See Him Naked And I Go NO NO NO NO NO WHAT THE HELL Starting Crying Saying HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HE IS DIED
