Product Description

Product Description

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.

From the Back Cover

If you love being scared , it'll be the night of your life...

Charley Brewster ia a normal American teenager whose mother thinks he watches too many late night horror films. Charley's life is pretty uneventful - until he becomes convinced that his suave, yet sinister, neighbour Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire.

No-one, least of all the police, will believe that Dandridge is the vicious killer responsible for a spate of bizarre murders. Charley finds an ally in Peter Vincent (Roddy MacDowall), a former horror film star and host of TV's Fright Night Theatre, in his quest to nail the debonaire bloodsucker. But then the nightmare really begins...

5.0 out of 5 starsIt is just hard to believe how much fun you can have with a nice horror comedy
By Maciej TOP 500 REVIEWER on 8 Jun. 2007
Format: DVD
Of all the hilarious vampire movies this one is the second best, after "The fearless vampire killers" by Polanski. Well, this is a little movie, but it is just incredible how much fun it packs. Chris Sarandon is of course the pillar of this film - he is SO vampire that I just couldn't believe that he was not burning when exposed to the sunglight in his other movies. Roddy McDowall is also hilarious. It is clear that everybody involved in making of this film just had a great time and lots of fun. A delicious vampiric comedy which I enjoyed mightily. Recommended if you feel a little down - you can not help it, you WILL cheer up.

5.0 out of 5 starsWelcome to Fright Night for real
By Kenneth Lewis on 24 Feb. 2008
Format: DVD
I love every bit of Fright Night. The music is truly awful 80s disco,the teenagers are very annoying and the central vampire is so over the top. The real highlight is Roddy Mcdowell as Peter Vincent (price and cushing perhaps) vampire killer or so his film fans think.
The story Charlie and Amy are about to have their first intimate encounter when Charlie is obsessed with what he sees out of the window(yeah right). Charlie is convinced his new suave neighbour is up to something especially when the pretty women who visit all seem to be found dead. Charlie starts to stalk his neighbour and calls on his friends to rally round they don't seem to believe him neither do the police. Despite the obvious facts he never leaves the house during the day at night lots of women have dissapered after seeing him and he has a cellar which contains a coffin that he sleeps in. No luck so his long suffering ex girlfriend hire Roddy to dissprove his theory. So the scene is set for a thrilling haunted house thriller. Which is accompanied by more dodgy music some spectacular gore and an exciting chase the hunter becoming the hunted over and over again.

4.0 out of 5 starsA classic!
By A Customer on 28 Nov. 2003
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Without a doubt the reason I loved this film from the first moment I saw it was that I've always been a Roddy McDowell fan - and no, I'm not as old as you might think either! Undoubtedly, the other performances here are just as good and one cannot forget that Chris Sarandon is in the movie. If you are buying this the chances are you've probably at least seen it and want it for your collection. The only reason I'm reviewing it is to add to the other comments here - that if you have this on VHS as I do and so are wondering if it is worth getting on the DVD I can only tell you YES! Every time I've seen this movie in the past, whether on VHS or TV it has always been quite dark. In the DVD not only are you getting the widescreen version there is rich lighting in every scene. It truly was like seeing it again for the first time!

5.0 out of 5 starsthe best horror film ive seen
By J. saunders on 28 Jan. 2004
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Forget Freddy, Jason and that Michael Myers fella, Jerry Dandridge(Chris Sarandon) is the scariest thing you will see in an 80s horror film. At a first glance you may see a cool well dressed goodlooking guy but underneath that exterior is something so scary you will be peeking from behind your cushion for most of the film.
the good thing about fright night is that it has its comedy moments too which are supplied by Peter Vincent(Roddy McDowell) the fearless vampire killer who doesnt want to believe that charlies next door neighbour is a bloodsucker and fumbles around pretending to perform tests on the vamp to prove to charlie that he is human (making him drink tap water instead of holy water) how heroic, but in the end he is convinced and reluctantly tries to help charlie slay the demon.
if you havent seen this film before i highly reccomend it, its a film you wont get bored of and the effects for the time are very good indeed, i watched all the horror films when i was young and they all scared me, but this is the only one to still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, what more can i say? BUY IT, BUY IT NOW !!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsYou're so cool Brewster!!!.
By Puzzle box on 16 April 2014
Format: DVD
Holland made his directorial debut with one of the best vampire films of the eighties. He went on to create pop-icon Chucky in "Child's Play" (1988), turned in the underrated "The Temp" (1993), then nose-dived with TV mini-series "The Langoliers" (1995) and big screen King adaptation "Thinner" (1996). Taking it's central theme from the classic "Boy who cried wolf" motif, the film has teen Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) convinced that his recently moved in neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Sarandon), is up to no good. A news report of the murder of a prostitute, a woman he had only seen stepping into Dandrige's house the day before, confirms his suspicions. Then, one night, his suspicions take an altogether spooky turn when he discovers that his neighbour is in fact a vampire.

The police won't listen, his girlfriend Amy (Bearse), and best friend Evil Ed (Geoffreys) think he's crazy, and his mother puts it down to an overactive imagination fuelled by one too many late night horror films. He is left no alternative but to confront late-night TV horror host Peter Vincent (McDowall), and call on his "expertise" to help him rid his neighbourhood of a menacing vampire. Questioning Charlie's grip on sanity, Vincent dismisses the boy's ranting, until he himself stumbles on the truth. But Jerry, and his spooky henchman Billy Cole (Stark), have other ideas for Charlie and his nosy friends. Despite the fact that the movie is very 80's especially with the clothes, music, style ect. it is an incredibly fun film, I remember watching this back in the early 90's and still consider it to be one of my favorites.

Sarandon seems to give such an effortless performance as the vampire and as a result is almost perfect.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMore bite! than the paltry remake.

(This review is of the 2005 DVD.) A generous and logical amount of painful body transformation for some of the characters, marks out Fright Night (1985) from it's competition. Read more
