Summary: Before there was Buffy...There was Charlie!
Review: This is an older movie but it still is a very entertaining film. It's campy, for sure, and a bit dated now, but the actors did such a fine job you can totally get drawn into the story- and that is really all that matters.No one believes Charlie Brewster when he states that the neighbor is a vampire- and believe me, Charlie, the goofy high school student, has tried everything: telling his friends, his mom, and even the police. Unfortunately, Mr. Dandridge, the vampire, is extremely charming and everyone is so taken with him-even poor Charlie's girlfriend- that they think Charlie needs to stop watching horror films and get a life. When he manages to get the washed up and cowardly horror film actor who hosts his favorite show ("Fright Night"- the snippets shown of the fictional TV show are hilarious) involved things really start cracking...and it's about time, because Dandridge is intent on winning the popularity contest; he tranforms buddy Evil into his minion, and next on the list is girlfriend Amy. It's up to bumbling Charlie and his Hollywood buddy to save the day...and it's no easy task given that no one under Dandridge's spell wants to be saved... Given how seductive Chris Sarandon was in this, I wouldn't have wanted to be saved either...In Amy's own words: He's really "NEAT!" For vampy fun with camp and humor, but with some sophisticated effects, this movie is a good watch.

Summary: what a treat
Review: I must have viewed this movie 2 dozen times and every time it is a treat. Will Ragsdale probably leaves something to be desired but Roddy Mcdowall as Peter Vincent steal the show anyway. This movie does an excellent job of satirizing the vampire genre while at the same time respecting itself and traditional vampire lore. This mix keeps it from taking itself to seriously and makes this a fun mvie to watch again and again. The sequel directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (director of Halloween 3)instead of Tom Holland is second rat in comparison but still do yourself a favor and grab them as a two pack. This would be a great franchise for a remake if appropriate cast could be found.

Summary: So 80s, So Good...and Chris Sarandon
Review: Really good, campy, scary, funny vampire fun. I love vampire movies and this is one of my favorite of the genre. Pre-CGI effects are good, especially Evil Ed's death. But the real reason I come back to this movie year after year is Chris Sarandon's vampire: What. A. Sexpot. Even the gay 80s clothes and Cosby-esque sweaters could not take away from his deliciousness. He is in almost no other movies, so I watch this one at least once a year. This vampire is smokin hot right down to his great, evocative voice. Bite me, I'm yours, baby.

Summary: Sterling DVD Transfer. A Must-Have Vampire Film !
Review: Who would've thought that Roddy McDowall & Chris Sarandon would give two of the best performances in horror history? They most certainly do. There's no shortage of suspense, action and unrelenting horror in "Fright Night." Let's not forget carefully time-released comedy, either. This DVD was just screaming for commentaries. At this low price, we'll settle for the spooky trailer and awesome digital film transfer, which still looks great on 16:9 widescreen sets. A must-have, turn out the lights, pop some popcorn screamfest!

Summary: Fun all around
Review: The effects may be a bit off by the standards of the 21st century but when this movie came out there were good, not great, but good. Chris Sarandon is an excellent vampire and Roddy MacDowell is good in almost anything. Interesting twists on some vampire legends. I think it has few plot holes and I was never bored with it. Can't say the same for it poor sequel. My favorite line from the movie is: "you have to have faith; it doesn't work if you don't have faith" because I think that gets to a core truth of the legends and of religion.

Summary: "You promised you wouldn't let him get me!!!"
Review: I am now 20 and I saw this movie when I was pretty young. Whenever I went to visit my cousin, she would play the part of Amy coming down the stairs saying "What's the matter, Charlie? Don't you WANT me anymore???" And I would always be the sympathetic guy Charlie... This movie has always been one of my faves.. I'm a big fan of the vampire movies anyways, liking 'The Lost Boys', 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' (the tv show), 'Angel', 'Interview With a Vampire', etc... But this movie is not only horror, but it also has a great mix of comedy in it. When I saw the movie "Vamp", it was clear that both movies were trying to pull off the whole scary/funny thing but only "Fright Night" truly got it right. I highly recommend this movie!

Summary: More than meets the eye
Review: All horror tales have a psychosexual subtext. In fact, horror may be the one place where Freudian interpretation actually works. _Fright_ _Night_ lives up to its genre. On top it's a vampire story; underneath, it's a tale of homosexual seduction. The young hero is caught in the predicament of many an insecure teen: "What if I really am gay?" Think about it: it's his *mother* who betrays him. Oh, and enjoy the thrills -- the scary stuff does get the heart thudding.

Summary: "Make sure it stays that way, Kid!"
Review: I have three favorite movies of all time.Vamp,976-Evil,and of course Fright Night.My wife thinks I'm an idiot.But she likes Legally Blonde.Who's the idiot?Anyway,the acting is perfect,the setting is better than perfect.These three movies were flawless.I first saw these movies in the late 80,s.I was around 13.I've always wondered what happened to Ed and Charlie?If any one knows let me know.If you liked Fright Night and haven't seen Vamp or 976-Evil you really need to.You won't be disappointed.I think I'll watch one tonight.That should upset my wife.
