Evil Ed is one of the most “Evil and Scary” looking vampires ever. The special effects in this movie and during the era were absolutely amazing!!!!! I always come back to this movie when I want horror done right. Classic!

This movie hit the right balance between horror and comedy. It has an electrifying score, a very charismatic cast and a badass vampire to boot. The 80s were ripe with these classics, really...

@khalidamajou4114 While I've heard it described that way before... ie, as horror (obviously) and comedy... I can't honestly say that I've ever really picked up on the 'comedy' part. Don't get me wrong... there are indeed a few humorous parts with my personal favorite when Peter Vincent is on late-night-tv playing the cliched-role of the 'vampire-killer' wanna-be-hero that just drips with all his "sherlock-holmes / van-helsing" B-movie-cheeziness (especially when he's got the wooden stake backwards🤣)... and "Evil-Ed" being the typical (if not universal) sarcastic, ball-breaker of a wise-ass that I think just about every person grew up with either at home or in school... and even Amy had some funny parts... like splatting Charley in the face in the cafeteria... or Evil pulling his prank on Charley as they are walking Amy home... or, again, Evil wearing that red wig in Ms. Brewster's bed room... But... I don't think either Peter, Evil or Amy were "trying" to be funny. When I think of a "funny" vampire movie... I think of "Once Bitten" with Jim Carrey or "A Vampire in Brooklyn" with Eddie Murphy... hell, even "The Lost Boys" had a few funny parts in it. But, again... I never got or picked up on anything "trying" to be funny in Fright Night... or "trying" to be anything at all for that matter... which is why I think Fright Night worked as well as it did and still does. In fact... whether it was the more humorous moments... or.. even the more erotic/ intimate moments with Jerry and Amy by the fireplace (or... even that of Jerry and Evil) in the alley... In fact, imo... and as much as I hate to admit to it as I do not like homo-erotic references es at all... I think that scene in the alley was probably one of the most powerful scenes in the movie (along with the Charley dream-window scene and, again, Jerry and Amy at the fireplace. All of it seemed very genuine... but... without "trying" to be genuine (if that makes any sense).

At your age you're doing the same thing a lot of us did in the 80s. I used to watch all three original Star Wars on videotape for like ten minutes every morning before going to the bus stop for school. I basically turned Star Wars into a mini series. But yes, Fright Night is on ed of those classics in my personal collection and it never gets old.

The soundtrack is one of the 80's best. The great Chris Sarandon was stunning as Jerry Dandridge. Roddy MacDowell was great. The entire case was terrific. Tom Holland created a masterpiece. My favorite line, "WELCOME TO FRIGHT NIGHT FOR REAL!!" A great horror/comedy movie and one of the best movies of the 80's.

Hah! Funny thing... back in the 80's I worked at a local "March of Dimes Haunted House. The "Vampire Room" was actually a Staircase and Balcony VERY MUCH Like in Jerry Dandridge's House. Sooo Having JUST Seen this movies I came up with a REALLY COOL Effect for the rooms "Vampire"... We installed a long thing piece of Balsawood on the inside/back part of the balcony along with several small "Pizo " pickups as mics. The "Vampire" wore acrylic Finger nails that were sharpened to points. As he came out of the door and as he walked along the balcony to decent the stairs... He used one of his long "Vampire Nails" to "PEEL" the wood off like in the movie... the director of the haunted house wasn't sure about the effect so I said "Ok... I will pay for ALL of the needed materials. If it WORKS You reimburse me... if NOT then I will take the hit!" Well the effect worked PERFECTLY and it was Deliciously CREEPY and it added to the WOW Factor! It worked SO well that they used it for the next THREE FOLLOWING YEARS there! The guy who played the Vampire even said the famous lines... "Welcome to FRIGHT NIGHT!... For REAL!" It sent SHIVERS down people's spines and sent them FLEEING Into well... a LOCKED Door as the Vampire Descended the staircase to attack his "Victims"! And JUST before he got to them THEN the door would open into the NEXT room! GODS I miss those days! :D

Totally worth the rewatch. The 80's was a treasure trove of the comedy/horror genre; Poltergeist, An American Werewolf in London, The Lost Boys, Arachnophobia.

Sarandon is one of those special actors that goes above and beyond the role laid out in the script-no matter if it's a horror comedy. (He looks and acts like he spent a lifetime doing Shakespeare.) He is handsome in a dark sort of way that was perfect for the role. You couldn't walk into any teenage girl's room during the 80's without seeing a poster of him plastered on the walls. (I have 3 older sisters who were teens during the 80's.)

One fact that I think bears mentioning is that Ragsdale wasn't told ahead of time about Amanda "Amy" Bearse's vampire makeup, so his horrified reaction when he saw it was genuine.

The drawing on the film poster is a masterpiece ... I was about 9 year old when the movie came out in France .. Of course i was far too young to see that movie and remember instead stopping each time with my bicycle on the way to school in front of the cinema , being absolutely captivated by the poster .. I was the first one in my school after that , to introduce plastic fancy vampire fangs . It became a craze and every kids wanted those ..

IMO, Chris Sarandon played one of the best vampires ever. It was brilliant casting and a brilliant performance by Sarandon. This movie is part "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" story, mixed with "Rear Window" and "Scream" directed by John Hughes.

Fright Night Part 2 had a limited release because the one who owned the rights was the Menendez brothers' father. The one they killed. Roddy met with him before his murder and tried to negotiate a third Fright Night film and it got so disheartening for him that he wanted to give up. He called the father of the Menendez Bros. one of the most evil, cruelest human beings he had ever met.

I remember asking my mom to take my 11 year old self to the video store on a Friday night because I wanted to rent a scary movie for the weekend. My choices were of course based on the video covers. My choices were (for scariest cover) "The Serpent and The Rainbow", "Night of the Demons", and "Fright Night". I picked "Night of the Demons" as was NOT disappointed! It wasn't until high school when I saw Fright Night. Oh man, I loved it. Great memories!

Every Halloween, I have a tradition, I watch John Carpenter's Halloween, The Crow, and Fright Night. Love this film!

I remember reading about there being an idea for the movie with Charlie being a single parent & living next door to Evil Ed. You're right. They DO need to make that happen. I would love to see it.

"Oh, you're so cool, Brewster!"

This is one of my mother's favourite movies.. Mine too..

I still remember going with my mom, siblings, aunt and cousin to see this in the theater. I was 4. Yes, I was allowed to see horror movies as little kid. I was never scared and I loved them. I outgrew that thrill, though, and only watch a select few nowadays. This, along with The Lost Boys, is one that I still go back to. Such a classic gem, one of my favorites from the 80s.

I miss the 80's and 90's! So many great shows getting pumped out. Well done sir! Love the show.

Still one of my fav movies of all time. Had a kicking soundtrack led by Brad Fiedel’s instrumental “Come to me” which can also be found in Fright Night 2 with lyrics sung by Deborah Holland. Other great horror movies from the 80’s include “Vamp” with Grace Jones, Slaughterhouse Rock and “Night of the Comet”. Gee I miss the 80’s..........sigh ☹️

The original is the best and they should never have remade it!!!

The remake is not so bad. Special effects are better. Of course, when you watch the first movie as a kid, and the New one as an adult, it makes a big difference. I've seen both twice and i'd really like to watch the old one a third time.

I enjoyed this review. Fright Night was one of my favorite movies in the 80s. The sequel was good, too. "Welcome to Fright Night........for real!" Fun fact: William Ragsdale ( Charlie Brewster) is the main character in Herman's Head, a funny sitcom about a man named Herman with four personalities. Forgot a couple of them, one is Lust and one is Anxiety. Basically Inside Out before Inside Out lol Got them. Intellect and Sensitivity. Had to look at an early Herman's Head episode. Thanks KZread

So I have recently just bought the Fright Night movie book. Its called 'you're so cool Brewster! The story of fright night' and its an extremely rare book as its 1 of a 1000. It was made in 2017 and includes the first three fright nights (1st, 2nd and the remake with David Tennant) aswell as dozens of images of the creation of the movie and a lot of the actors opinions and interviews. I highly recommend getting it if you can and if you adore fright night like I do. It has so much in it, I felt like a kid in a candy store when I went through it. But according to the book, the reason why the 2nd movie was never properly released was because of the Menendez brothers murder (two brothers killed their father and mother) that happened in 1968. Because of how big the case was in America, the film release date was back tracked and it was never properly released. Which is why you can only really buy the 2nd movie with a Spanish title. It also said in the book that both Roddy McDowall and Tommy Lee Wallace had only recently had a meeting with the brothers father - Mr Menendez. According to this book, Roddy had made the meeting a little heated as he didn't particularly like the man and poor Tommy was a bit nervous ahaha. It also says that after the murder, Roddy had rang Tommy and I quote from this book "he didn't even introduce himself and just said 'well I didn't do it? Did you?'" Another quote that ends this chapter in the book was from Tommy which says "Honestly the Menendez brothers killed Fright Night Part 2 as well as their parents"

"You got to have faith for that to work!"

Can't believe it's taken me this long to finally get around to watching this - I used to see it in my local video rental shop all the time and for some reason never picked it up. Worth the wait though. Simple storyline and a lot of fun. A classic horror film.

One of the best vampire movies in the 80's ever made.

Remember Vamp (1986) or Near Dark (1987) ? So many scary films seen as a kid.

Fun fact: Fright Night was an actual show that roasted old horror movies. Elvira hosted the show after the original host passed away. That host's name was Larry "Sinister Seymour" Vincent. I wonder if that had something to do with the movie too.

I had exactly the same introduction! I used to stand and stare at the VHS covers for ages. I'll always remember Fright Night, Nightbreed, Critters and Howling! 🙈👍

Thank You Minty! This is one of my all time favs from Blockbusters

Chris Sarandon was Oscar nominated for his performance in the 1975 film - Dog Day afternoon so he was already well known.

Such a great underrated movie.

This is THE BEST vampire movie in my opinion, it has everything, 80's music, cool effects, a good plot. None of that CGI crap. The remake though sucks totally and didn't even stick to the original. The 80's were awesome for horror movies. I miss those days!!

9:50 Here's a little known fact that I discovered decades ago completely by accident. At around this part of the movie, while Ed is taunting Peter, they both pass by a mirror. If you pause the movie at a very specific time, you can see someone--probably a stage hand--wearing a blue shirt and crouched down in a corner. You can see them in the mirror.
