A teenage horror buff’s celluloid dreams become a nightmarish reality when his next door neighbor turns out to be one of the undead in this ‘80s cult classic. William Ragsdale stars as Charley Brewster, a monster movie fanatic who discovers that the recently arrived Chris Sarandon is an actual vampire – with designs on his mother, no less! Enlisting the help of his girlfriend, Amanda Bearse, his social outcast best friend, Stephen Geoffreys, and Roddy McDowall as the host of a fright fest on local late night television, Ragsdale does battle with the devilishly handsome bloodsucker. A fun-filled tribute the all-time vampire classics, “Fright Night” (1985) lives up to its name with enough gruesome thrills and chills to satisfy any horror fan.

Expert Review:
The 80's injected the "fun" back into the musty vampire subgenre, and nowhere else was that innoculation more successful than "Fright Night". The suburban setting drags the menace of the undead out of dank Transylvanian castles and to a place most Americans can relate to. All the classic "rules" of the mythology are present, but updated for a new time, place and culture. Also, Roddy MacDowall at his best. By Mark Pellegrini of Adventures in Poor Taste
