COMEDY RELEASED ON THIS DAY IN 1978
On July 28, 1978, National Lampoon’s Animal House, a movie
spoof about 1960s college fraternities starring John Belushi,
opened in U.S. theaters. Produced with an estimated budget
of $3 million, Animal House became a huge, multi-million-dollar
box-office hit, spawned a slew of cinematic imitations and
became part of pop-culture history with such memorable lines
as “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
Set at the fictional Faber College (the University of Oregon
served as a stand-in during filming), Animal House centered
around the disreputable Delta House fraternity.
John Adam Belushi (January 24, 1949 – March 5, 1982)
The University of Oregon (UO, U of O or Oregon) is a public research university in Eugene, Oregon. Founded in 1876.
