 Featured Movie Location: "The Slaughtered Lamb" [Interior]Wanna see the real life filming location used for "The Slaughtered Lamb" [Interior] in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at The Black Swan Public House, located at Old Lane in Martyr's Green, Leatherhead, SURREY, UK. The "Slaughtered Lamb" public house featured in the movie is actually nowhere near its supposed setting in the movie. Crickadarn, near Builth Wells in Wales stood in for the fictional village of "East Proctor". The scene at the outside of the Slaughtered Lamb pub was filmed there, whilst the inside of the pub was filmed at the Black Swan pub at Effingham, Surrey, near London. [Thanks to Sarah Jenkins] The scenes filmed on the "Moors" were actually filmed at the Brecon Beacons in Wales. Closeups were completed at Windsor Great Park (a big tourist attraction -hardly a scary place!). Jenny Agutter's flat exterior is opposite the church on Redcliffe Square, nr Earl's Court, London SW10. [Thanks to Amer Rehman] Jenny Agutter's hospital was the nearby St Stevens in Fulham Road. [Thanks to John B. Latham]

Includes such classics as Blue Moon by Sam Cooke; Moondance by Van Morrison; Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival; Blue Moon by The Marcels. It's amazing how adorable fifties and sixties music can be made spooky in the context of a horror film, but somehow it can be, and added an original touch to the film. Even though there were classic songs used in the movie, an official soundtrack couldn't be produced due to the short length of the 5 songs and the 7 min. score, so they asked Meco to produced a justice soundtrack titled: Meco's Impressions of An American Werewolf In London which was released on Casablanca records and cassettes. [Thanks to Chad Wichterman] All the songs in this film have the word "Moon" in the title. « Click here to add new music trivia for American Werewolf In London Soundtrack Available: Used Vinyl LP / Tape | |||||||||||||||||||||||
