AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS is not a good sequel. The CGI werewolves are a gigantic step down from the practical-effects nightmare fuel of An American Werewolf in London, the dialogue can be absolutely ridiculous, and as a werewolf movie it makes some truly baffling choices.

And yet… I kind of like the stupid thing.

For this installment of 31 Spooky Movies of Halloween, I’m heading to Paris for one of the most aggressively 1990s horror movies imaginable. This is a movie with the confidence to say, “Of COURSE you can bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower,” and then just keep moving before anyone has time to ask questions.

Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy are genuinely likable even when the screenplay is fighting against them, Vince Vieluf gets some good laughs, and I actually think the central idea involving a pack of extremist werewolves hunting tourists is pretty solid. The execution? Well… that’s another matter.

An American Werewolf in Paris is basically your dumb, well-meaning best friend. He’s annoying. He makes terrible decisions. He may have accidentally killed your goldfish by feeding it pizza. But somehow you still invite him over.

So is this an underappreciated slice of 90s monster-movie insanity… or just a terrible sequel that I have inexplicable affection for?

Come with me to Paris. Apparently we’re jumping off the Eiffel Tower.
