Summary: Hello Charlie....
Review: ... While it's good to have this on DVD (if you don't happen to have a VCR hooked up to your TV) this version of the movie is bad!!! You know you're in big trouble when they don't bother putting at least a trailer or TV commercial in as a Bonus Feature, but instead they list "Full Screen Version" (Like is that supposed to be a good thing???). What a major disappointment guys. }:(=

Summary: Scream a Little Scream
Review: After dealing with one cast of vampires, you'd think that a person would have had enough excitement to last a lifetime, right? Well, in the case of Peter Vincent - Vampire Killer, and Charlie Bruster - Vampire Killer Admirer, you'd be right, but there's a little problem with that. When you find yourself entangled with one of a multiple undying brood, it can only be the beginning of a very long, very endearing nightmare. After finding himself in therapy for three years after his little "outing" with Jerry Dandridge, Charlie thinks himself cured of all his ailments. The delusions that led him to believe that Jerry was indeed a vampire and that group hypnosis that made he and Peter see the same things confirmed that fact, they have all been explained away and now he's on the road to recovery. On this highway of discovery, he has forged himself a new life, taking on a newer, lovelier, girlfriend and finding that he now has something to look forward to besides thoughts of a high school mind and a bloodsucking neighbor living next door. Yes, he seems to have so much to look forward to. Unfortunately for him, in this series of newness, he has other things to look forward to, namely new vampiric admirers as well. And that type, well, they are the kind you never want to find.Before looking over both Fright Night and its sequel, Fright Night 2, one has to remember that (1) sequels are rarely the original in form and effect and (2) it is an odd event when the 2nd chapter in a series is anywhere near the first. The reason I say this is not to make excuses for the movie, however, but to say that this entry, it is an abnormality in the world of potential failures. Yes, in the case of Fright Night 2, there is a strange exception to that ruling on sequels because the movie is both commendable and it does hold its own in an arena clogged with many forms of disposable outings. In it, the theme of revenge is one that reigns supreme, with someone from Charlie and Peter's past, namely Dandridge, surfacing once more - but in a rather twisted manner. His revenge, it isn't in the atypical "defying death" arena that most films give you, but rather in the sense of having friends and family that live forever and those individuals taking it rather seriously when one of their own is "dealt with." This is something that is welcome, a cast of faces that isn't the same person returning and being banished once more, and the methods they wish to adopt, while primed with ways to fail, are ones that are delightful. The original actors return in the starring roles, too, making things easy to keep up with, and the prosthetic effects are some of the better portions from the array of movies that flocked to the screen at the time. When you take all of that, blend it together, and think that vampires are going to run amok in a film that makes fun of films with vampires while using them, then you have a wonderful combination to the safe called "comedy." For anyone that missed the movie, enjoys the campiness that vampire films carry from that time frame, appreciates good effects alongside their vengeful motives, and is willing to find it on VHS (it has yet to make its way to DVD), then this would be something worth checking into. This is especially true for those who liked the first film and wanted to find it carrying on, with the unfortunately loss of everyone's favorite character; Evil. It has many things to offer in the sharpness of wit and whittled wood.

Summary: One of the rare great sequals!!
Review: This film is fantastic!! Just as good, if not better, at times than the first film. I am another fan that thinks this film needs to be put on DVD and fast!!! The old VHS copy just does not give the movie it's proper respect. Fright Night part 2 is one of the greatest Vamp films from the 80's and it needs to be seen at it's finest!!! The appropriate studios need to give the Fright Night fans something to sink their teeth into!!

Summary: EXCELLENT-PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD- ILOVE IT!
Review: I can't say in any amount of words how much I Love/Adore, am obessed, cherish, 'Fright Night 2'. Now I am a gigantic fan of the first 'Fright Night', but 'Fright Night 2' I Love. Sure the first film is untouchable, but I just love this film. There's something about this film that is fantastic. The film is well cast(William Ragsdale, Roddy McDowell, Traci Lin, Julie Carmen, Jonathan Gries, Brian Thompson etc) are perfect. Well done to Director Tommy Lee Wallace-please release this on DVD, my collections not complete until I own this. The music by Brad Fiedel is superb, and at times very sexy. The settings and locations are absolutely fantastic. I love the humour in this film. It's such a fun, excellent movie. I adore 'Fright Night 2'.

Summary: Waiting and waiting for DVD
Review: I'm a huge fan of this film, and agree with a few of the other reviewers in that I actually prefer it to the first. I'd have to say it's sexier, that the plot is a bit more complex, and there are far more secondary and tertiary characters adding to the depth. But I don't own this video. I WANT to own it, but I keep thinking that they're going to release it on DVD, and that would be far superior. So, here I am. Waiting. I wonder if anyone influential reads these things?

Summary: A good sequel that stands on its own....DVD is a MUST !!!
Review: I really don't understand why publishers of this movie just don't see that a DVD edition could be an excellent idea. This sequel is so good that you don't have to see the first part to get into it. The story is good, the vampires are better (a little comedy, but it's OK). We have seen so many bad vampire movies during the 90's that this old 80's feature seems like new (Compared to "Vampires: Los Muertos", Fright Night Part 2 is a GREAT movie!)

Summary: DVD please
Review: Part 3 anyone? The Fright Night films were styled to vampiric perfection. What really made them terribly cool was not just the visuals, but the score as well. The background music to the two films was too sweet. That dripping guitar in the background really helped set the scenes. It's time for the transfer to DVD, past time. Interesting, the soundtracks to these films are so far out of print it's sick. Two versions of the first movie's soundtrack exist, one with score, one without. A copy including the score just got auctioned off on Ebay for one hundred and fifty five dollars! Fright Night is an 80s fan must see. I remember these films being huge when I was a young punk. They still have magic today. It would be awesome if they made a third installment, retaining the feel of the first two while combining it with today's eye candy potential. Wouldn't it be great to see Roddy do one more?

Summary: A Sequel Worthy of Its Predecessor
Review: A few years ago while still in High School, Charlie Brewster killed the vampire Jerry Dandridge with the help of his long time idol, film hero Peter Vincent, The Great Vampire Killer. Charlie's therapist has since convinced him that he did not kill a vampire and there are no such things as vampires. The therapist is wrong and Jerry Dandridge's sister is in town to even the score. William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowall reprise their roles as Charlie Brewster and Peter Vincent in "Fright Night Part 2". Julie Carmen plays Regine Dandridge, the sister of the late Jerry Dandridge. Regine is posing as a performance artist and takes over Peter's show "Fright Night". She then proceeds to take steps to make Charlie a vampire, which she feels will be the ultimate revenge for what he did to her brother. Charlie finds himself fighting the vampire nature that is rising within him while he and Peter race to save Charlie's girlfriend from the vampires and to keep Charlie from joining them. It's a worthy follow-up to the original movie.
