On this day, December 18, 1981, the dark comedy Neighbors premiered in theaters. Directed by John G. Avildsen, the film stars comedy legends John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in a twisted tale of suburban chaos.

In a role reversal from their usual dynamic, Belushi plays the strait-laced Earl Keese, while Aykroyd portrays the eccentric and disruptive new neighbor, Vic. Their escalating antics, joined by Cathy Moriarty and Kathryn Walker, lead to an absurdly comedic clash of personalities. Despite mixed reviews, Neighbors grossed $29.9 million at the box office against its $8.5 million budget.
