Grave Tone is your all-access pass to the horror genre across books, film, TV, and games. From cult classics to fresh nightmares, we dig into the stories that scare us and why we love them. If it bleeds, reads, streams, or screams… it’s on Grave Tone.
In this week’s Grave Tone, Meaghan and Arthur continue our Childhood Trauma series with the not-so-beloved sequel An American Werewolf in Paris (1997)—a movie Meaghan adored at 10, but that hits… differently now.
We pit Paris against An American Werewolf in London (1981), break down the werewolf-as-tragedy archetype, and ask why Paris’ sunny ending, choppy rewrites, and then-cutting-edge-now-dated CGI undercut the horror. We also shout out the surprisingly stacked ’90s soundtrack, talk Julie Delpy giving 120%, Tom Everett Scott’s “boy-next-door” casting, and how the film’s club-kid vibe tried to modernize a classic monster.
