I worked at the University of Oregon while this film was made. Cast and crew partied after hours around Eugene's clubs where local blues bands performed. Movie opened in a theater directly across the street from the "Animal House" used in the film. Walking out of the theater, there it was, same house and frat house next door. The "Animal House" has since been demolished, movie theater too. A medical office is on the site now. Frat house is still there.

I ran track in my youth. We would travel to Eugene Oregon back in the day for track meets. I can remember being quite inebriated with many members of the team one night and Animal House was projected onto the side of the Delta house building used in the movie. We sat with hundreds and watched it play in all its glory. One hell of a great night!

I was in a 2 yr aircraft mechanic school when it premiered. Part way through the program the school decided to accelerate and go to 18 months. The class (about 22 guys) had grown kind of tight and several of us would be highly inconvenienced by the schedule change. The movie was really taking off and someone got the idea to go see it as a class. Deltas v Omegas and Faber became us against the school. It became glorious. We kept the schedule we agreed to at the beginning.

Behind a perfect film is unexplainable magic that nobody could create if they tried.

I moved to Eugene in 1975, so when they started shooting the next year, it was fun to see an actual movie set on 11th St. with the old fraternity house "dirtied up". We knew all the locations in the film, so that lent it a special feel, but I honestly found it to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. This "Making Of" story brought back great memories.

We saw Animal House in 78 in our old "movie row" (no longer there) we were practically rolling around in the isles laughing so hard. Not just a joke here and there worked. Everything worked. I saw the film again in high school where they played it in the main auditorium which was sloped just like a movie theatre. We had probably 300 people watching and it was nearly a riot that night. People were going crazy. Stuff was getting thrown around. It was nuts. I'll always remember it.

Belushi did a cartwheel onto the stage and the band broke into Soul Man. Ackroyd to he left looking nonchalant. Dead came on at midnight and played until dawn. BGP dosed the crowd up front. They had a full bar, in a concert. 😎 Watched a screening of Animal House before the show. They had a volleyball tournament on the floor with people from different states forming teams. We lined up the night before and slept on the sidewalk. Listened to taped Dead with free breakfast in the morning. BGP sent the lead roadie Ranger to the local KFC at noon and brought back a pick-up truck full of chicken, and gave it to everyone in line. It'll never happen again, this world wouldn't let it.

One reason AH worked so well is it so perfectly was written around stereotypes found in just about every college frat scene in America. Each of those key characters - we knew them in real life. The drinking, debauchery, madness of especially one's first year or so of college - made it all funny and fun. While this video makes it look like the movie came out of organized chaos, it seems as if the bones of the script and writing were very structured. They got exceptionally lucky with the casting. There's a tremendous amount of immaturity and absurdity with 19 year old kids in their first year of college, and they captured it perfectly.

Long story short I was handed a corn dog and told to throw it when the director yelled action. Now I don’t know if they used it in the final print or not, I’ve sense tried to find myself in the crowd. It proves difficult because I was in the 3rd grade and was quite small, compared to the other extras.

This is true in the sense that no one in Hollywood is capable of making it. Not even close. It isn't like they can do anything and just have to decide, they are only set up to do a few things. Hollywood does not have the comedians today that they used to have. They don't want comedians anymore. There are talented people in the world that could make this movie today, but they are not in modern day Hollywood. Even back then, this was made somewhat outside Hollywood. Difference back then is that Hollywood was much smaller and many small production companies could make films and if they were good they would spread around the country. What people saw was the best of the best. Today, the big Hollywood studios have a monopoly on most organized distribution and no one else can get in no matter how good. The internet is the only savior as Hollywood can never control that so they can't monopolize distribution ever again.

Kudos for the brilliant casting job on this hilarious movie!❤ Still stands the test of time, absolute classic!

Agree that the casting was perfect. Pretty well spelled out here in the "Making Of" I didn't realize that there was so much writing behind it as it seems a bit off the cuff. Ah, college days, and nights.

When the film came out I was already living off campus in a tattered old victorian house with a group of 5 other guys for at least a year. We rented the house from a widowed woman who moved out years after her dentist husband died. We were not frat affiliated but we partied hard regularly for two years, summers included. When a few of us saw the film, well that just put gasoline on the fire. For instance, cutting down a pine tree at the local Holiday Inn for our Christmas in July party, driving it back to the house with it stuffed in the back seat of my 67 Camaro convertible. Then hanging it upside down in the living room. Santa was there with an escort of two hot panted elf maidens. Many fun memories best not mentioned.

What a lame comment, you must be a very troubled individual. Pity you're not having any fun life experiences. Get out of your momma's basement and have fun.@@BBAKER22

Saw this the fall before my senior year in high school. Suffice it to say, I chose my college based on this criteria! 😄

Animal House was the first R-rated film I ever saw, I was 11 years old and my best friends sister took the two of us because we loved Belushi from SNL. It’s still in my top ten favorite movies ever.😂👍

I worked across the street where the house once stood but always a reminder of the movie. And other landmarks from movie. Great movie.

What a great video about this iconic masterpiece 👏 Really takes you inside and personal with these people. Its amazing how some things just take on a life of their own. An energy field comes to life and suddenly everyone's going along for the ride. I didn't even remember that Kevin Bacon was in it- and he couldn't get any of the girls at the after party of the screening to believe that he was in it. The beginning of his incredible career. "At certain times while making it, it was felt to be certain actors or my movie- once it was in theaters, it was John Belushi's (!) Of course! The main "Animal" of them all. Beautiful film, beautiful people. Everything about this was perfect. Especially the laughter (!) 😂 🕉

I lived in Eugene at the time this was filmed, .. There was always some way we knew where they were filming, but they sure did a great job of keeping the foamers back and away. A few locals got to be extras... but everywhere from the motel the whole crew stayed at to the locations, you had virtually no chance of any more than a fleeting glance of any of the stars or craft people. It didn't matter... we were all quite proud of the movie having been made in our town,, and nearby Cottage Grove where the parade was filmed.
