Well, I do. I went to the theater in 1981 thinking I was getting a horror movie and I got a silly movie which did not take itself very seriously. Those dumb scenes with the guy's dead decaying pal visiting him and cracking gags was the height of stupidity for a "horror movie".
Those are genius! With that little piece of wiggling flesh? Genius!

What I find enchanting about the humor in AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON is that it feels real. That's how two buds walking across the moors would talk to each other while confronted by a howling, growling unknown. Those first scenes set up the relationship between the two and the later visits from the dead friend remains consistent to those opening sequences. Even in the unreality of those visits their relationship is convincing. They're two close friends with a dizzy sense of humor. That's also how a lot of people face very serious situations. Genius!
