About this movie

Meet Jerry Dandridge. He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he's the perfect neighbor. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap, there's just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red and straight from the jugular! It's FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howlstarring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerry's deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the "Great Vampire Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? If you love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT...will give you the nightmare of your life. (Original Title - Fright Night (1985)) © 1985 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Ah yes when it comes to cult classics it don't get no better! Iconic fantastic probably what ended up spawning twilight because it's the first example of sexy vampire Fun fact and spoiler: the vampire puppet using the film not the bat is actually a unused puppet for the library lady from Ghostbusters that they had laying around a second alternate form of hers so keep that in mind while watching this film Highly recommend enjoy the spooky fun!

This is my favorite vampire movie of all time. The music and acting are top notch and it is a believable story. This movie has it all. Even a young marcy darcy which is hard to believe. If you are a twilight fan you may not like it because you dont know good acting when you see it. For everyone else you will love this movie.
