FRIGHT NIGHT
Guess what I got excited about?
PLOT
Charley is making out with his girlfriend and just about to get her into bed for the first time when he gets distracted by his new neighbors carrying a coffin. He then sees the same man Jerry, biting a younger girl and tells his mom who ignores him because Charley loves horror movies so he obviously can’t be trusted. His best friend Ed and girlfriend Amy don’t believe him either and wonder if he’s going crazy. Finally he calls the police, but they don’t find any evidence so they think he’s crazy too. He then gets Peter Vincent, a local horror host to help him in his quest, though Peter is less than thrilled when he realizes there really are vampires in the world.
TRIVIA
Fright Night was turned into a comic book and an arcade game.
A sequel to the 1985 movie was released in 1988.
Dream Works announced earlier this year that they were remaking Fright Night.
THOUGHTS
Whenever anyone hears that I haven’t seen Fright Night (or at least one of my horror movie loving friends), they completely freak out on me. Now that I’ve seen it, I kind of want to know what the big deal is. I got excited for half a second when I saw the gal from Married with Children and more excited that William Ragsdale was the main guy. After that…yeah, I just had a really hard time getting into it. Everyone’s been recommending this movie for me over the last couple of years and now that I’ve seen it, I probably won’t see it again. Sorry for all those big hardcore fans out there…
