Subject: film location request " An American Werewolf in London "
Dear Mrs. Rubin, my girlfriend Julia H... wrote to you about 2 years ago and asked for confirmation of the hospital location
of the film "An American Werewolf in London". That was really great of you, because it made a lot of mistakes right.
Now I write to you again and hope that you maybe able to name two more locations that no one has been able to clarify so far.
I am looking for the location of:
1. The bus stop at which David Kessler in a red coat stood after waking up in the zoo and was waiting for the bus.
2. The supermarket where David and Alex Price went shopping after the hospital.
I hope I don't bother you with my question and maybe you could ask Mrs. Landis about it.
Lovely greetings from Germany
Stephan Dicke

Dear Stephen Dicke - Please forgive me, but it’s been 40 years since we
shot An American Werewolf in London
and I have no idea where we filmed the shop. But I’m pretty sure the bus stop
was right outside the Zoo and shot the same day as all of the zoo scenes.
Please stay safe during these troubled times. Wash your hands and
Best always - John Landis
