I'll just say that I still have just about every issue of the Fright Night comic series, along with dressing up as evil Ed for Halloween as a kid, burnt cross mark on forehead and all! So that should say it all when it comes to my love for the film - thanks for showing it some love!<br /><br />"You're so cool Brewster!"Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-27600939845048338642009-09-12T20:08:29.900-04:002009-09-12T20:08:29.900-04:00It does rule!

It came out a few years later, features almost the exact same plot, but throws Shannon Tweed into the mix. <br />-BillyTower Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117151684983587816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-77377457478237711432009-09-11T15:28:06.507-04:002009-09-11T15:28:06.507-04:00Had to mention that I always loved the way Dandrid...Had to mention that I always loved the way Dandridge said "Hello Charlie!" when he visits the kid and his mom for the first time.Chad Medeiroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991881854213056491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-6640781748605190072009-09-11T11:41:33.569-04:002009-09-11T11:41:33.569-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Monster Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512345969721307138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-40659621341586447082009-09-11T11:41:22.674-04:002009-09-11T11:41:22.674-04:00I love that sequence were he seduces the girlfrien...I love that sequence were he seduces the girlfriend in the club wearing a torn grey sweatshirt that hangs from one shoulder Flashdance style.<br />Ohh it gives me the chills!

The scene that always sticks in my head is when Charlie and Peter kill Jerry's assistant and he dissolves into goop and sand (?!). I always wondered just what kind of creature/being he was.

My friend J would have sleepovers at her house and we would stay up late watching scary movies and this was one of them. J ended up developing a massive crush on Chris Sarandon after seeing this movie. In fact one of our rules was that each sleepover guest got to choose one movie for the marathon and I can't tell you how many times I saw "Fright Night" because of Mr. Sarandon =) Ah, memories.Dorian Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-20046373830601486652009-09-10T23:06:48.428-04:002009-09-10T23:06:48.428-04:00In my view this is an often negleced, or at least ...In my view this is an often negleced, or at least underrated vampire film. As you note, Sarandon turns in a memorable performance, and when this is combined with his undefined monstrous sidekick and McDowall as tv horror host/vampire slayer, you have the formula for a great filmJohn W.
