FRIGHT NIGHT PART II (1988) d. Tommy Lee Wallace (USA)
FRIGHT NIGHT (2011) d. Craig Gillespie (USA)
FRIGHT NIGHT 2 (2013) d. Eduardo Rodriguez (USA)
Written and directed by Tom Holland, 1985’s Fright Night is a genre-blending horror-comedy that combines classic vampire lore with 1980s suburban paranoia. The story follows teenager Charley Brewster, who suspects his suave new neighbor, Jerry Dandrige, is a vampire. When his girlfriend Amy and best friend Ed dismiss his fears, Charley turns to horror host Peter Vincent to save the day... and the night.
Employing a mix of prosthetics, animatronics, puppetry, and makeup, the film’s outstanding practical effects were brought to life by the talented team headed by Steve Johnson, William Randall Cook, and visual effects supervisor Richard Edlund, creating richly textured visuals that evoke both screams and laughter.
Thanks to Holland’s clever writing and deft direction, the cast’s invested performances, and groundbreaking effects which still hold up decades later, Fright Night remains a touchstone of 1980s horror, a beloved cult classic that only seems to get better every year.
