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.

I seen this film as a kid and it scared me. I picked it up in a bargain bin years later and it was just a delight watching it again. Its funny and suspenseful and the ex are great. Must watch for horror fans.

Classic 1980s full-blooded vampire movie that has the right balance of chills and a tounge-in-cheek sense of humour. A perfect late Saturday night scary movie.

Obviously has a bit of a dated 80s look but that just adds to the appeal...entertaining vampire movie with a few laughs and a few scares...great lead vampire as well....'welcome to fright night......for real'
