The actor who played Jack(Griffin Dunne) actually got depressed while they were putting the make-up on him because he started to imagine if that is what he would look like if he really was torn apart. He was also concerned about how his mother would react if she saw him like that in the movie. The practical effects were that good.
What’s really depressing is that Griffin’s real life younger sister (actress Dominique Dunne) was murdered by her boyfriend about a year after she filmed Poltergeist. He talked about it a little in various interviews.
Wait so is that actually his corpse or just his spirit??? I’m just now coming back to this movie after a long time and this is confusing me. I assume it’s his actual corpse now because of what everyone is saying and also because jack looks even more decayed in the next scene
@@Joey7Z7Horror He's technically a ghost who's soul is trapped on earth in limbo, but he's forced to appear how he was at the moment of death and then is made to decompose as if he were a physical corpse.

@@J_C_CH I mean, that’s kind of the first thought I had since that’s actually my depiction of how a ghost should appear like but everyone talking about actual corpses was throwing me off

I just love the werewolf lore this movie creates. The fact a werewolf in human form is haunted and tormented by the ones they kill. You could create a whole series based on this.
Fun fact: Originally the piece of toast Jack eats was going to fall through his open throat and he would brush it off like a fly, but this was deemed FAR too horrible.

@@17moonbeams Facts. David and Jack was very likeable as they we're both very down to earth and genuine which made the story and their fates so heartbreaking and sad. 🥺😭😞
Jack was just trying to look after David. It was a very kind and caring thing to do helping him like that . He loved David and didn't want him to suffer anymore
I just love how Jack explains the situation to David, you really get a sense that he's delivering a message, that he's memorized what someone from beyond has said to him. He uses the lycanthrope term too, he's very thorough about it. The ''Beware the moon, David!'' is very eerie, he takes that very seriously now.
I guess those corpses he spoke to which he thought was boring were the previous victims of the last werewolf, and they told Jack what the situation was, and what must be done.
Grandmaster Dragonborn The wolf's bloodline must be sever'd. The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed...it's you, David. Please believe me...you'll kill people.
"Can I have a piece of toast?" Well, I know what my first words as a dead person will be if I'm ever bitten by a werewolf and forced to walk the earth as an undead corpse. :D
Nyte Ghost There was tension buildup/suspense as to what its like to talk to dead people, you would think its something terribly frightening and disturbing. but its just as boring as if you're talking to a live person
I'm literally here because the only line I remembered from this whole move was "Can I have a piece of toast?" And I just needed to see this scene again after over 20 years.
I wish there were some kind of supplement to this describing things from Jack's point of view. It would entail him witnessing his own funeral, learning from the other undead why he is stuck like this, dealing with his rapid decomposition and his final release.
Just imagine you were the only one that survived a wolf attack knowing your best friend is dead, just to find him all scratched up in front of your bed and asks "can I have a piece of toast?"
+WeaponizedLizardMen actually no not many people can do this, that's why the old school monster makers and design artists are legendary, now a days they like to use CGI for everything cause it's easier and cheaper in many respects...they go overboard with it all the time.

1:32 I love when the creepy music starts & Jack says: On the moors, we were attacked by a lycanthrope, a werewolf. I was murdered; an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted. Shut up! The wolf's bloodline must be severed; the last remaining werewolf must be destroyed......It's you, David. What?
Lex Ault Technically, he's not in the afterlife YET. He is stuck in limbo as long as the werewolf's bloodline survives. .....But yeah, that doesnt have quite the same ring as what you said!
TheDarkIllumination lol well at least he's there for him as his friend ya know. Hell if I was going to be a raging werewolf that would kill people I'd want to have a friend to talk with me.
Now this is a classic film! The characters, the music, the effects and all the emotions throughout. 100x better than some of the crappy cheap horror films these days. This has to be in my top 5 favourite films.
Jack - Can I have a piece of toast David- (calmy) Get the fuck outta here Jack Jack -Can I have a piece of toast Me - WHAAAAAAAAAAAT THEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Went to see this in the theater years ago. It was there I witnessed the best reaction to the amazing work done on Jack for this scene. The girl sitting behind us didn't scream. Didn't run from the theater. Didn't throw up. Just sat there, wide-eyed, with her jaw hitting the floor. 😂

FANTASTIC fucking makeup! Seriously even though this isn't one of the things people would generally want to do, I would give ANYTHING to sit down with Rick Baker and just share a beer and hear his story. I mean, the man has won fucking 7 Academy Awards for Makeup Design. I would absolutely LOVE the chance to just hear some of his stories and techniques over the years of making films. Its just one of my secret cinema wet dreams... most people would want to meet a Brad Pitt/Anne Hathaway/George Clooney/Robert Dinero but I would just love to meet some of the lesser know publicly, but most important people in the films we know and love like Rick... Holy shit the questions I would have to ask him! And just a side note, I fucking LOVE whoever is acting as Jack (the mutilated guy) in this scene. His demeanor, attitude, and influence on this film was just spectacular even though he died within the first 30 minutes of the movie. I honestly think this is THE best Horror/Comedy film ever besides Sean Of The Dead. And I have a feeling Edgar Winter took a few cues from t his movie to create his masterpiece of Horror/Comedy. This is clearly the better film though, that being said. I just love to speculate about the influence older films like this had in modern movies! Edit: 00:56 just LOOK at the little flap of dangling skin in Jack's neck, dead center while he talks. The way it just wiggles back and forth like it completely realistically would have in a person who suffered those degrees of injury just blows my mind... So I haven't seen every movie or TV show ever made but besides The Howling, what movies have had prosthetic makeup/effects that are so convincing since this? Like I said, I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I just love film and am genuinely curious if anyone knows of a film with better prosthetic makeup design because I will watch it in a second then get back to you on how much better of a movie you picked then me...

Like I said, I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I just love film and am genuinely curious if anyone knows of a film with better prosthetic makeup design because I will watch it in a second then get back to you on how much better of a movie you picked then me... Lmfao!
Well...the Fly has some great makeup. Or The Thing...other than that though not sure.
Back when directors knew how to drive stories without the stupid over the top music, etc... A true masterpiece
We made good films back then and a big applause to the props people
One of my favourite scenes in a movie. This scene alone. Amazing.
I believe Ric Baker, the makeup designer in this movie, oversaw the makeup on the werewolf and zombies in Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Shawn Allen It was also directed by the same director, John Landis
this movie inspired thriller
That's right.
And the wolfman 2010 and haunted mansion 2003 :-)
Rick Baker was the best!
the effects are sooo good in this movie. especially if you think it came out in 1981
That makeup was brilliant for its time, the whole movie was, classic
I dont know how many copies of this film i have but this film & The Howling have stood the test of time, pure classics of the genre.
