Synopsis

Nobody believes teenager Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) when he discovers that his suave new neighbor, Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon), is a vampire. So when the bloodsucker starts stalking Charley, he turns to has-been actor Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), famed for portraying a ghoul hunter. Unfortunately for the would-be vampire slayers, Dandridge has set his sights on Charlie's girlfriend in this clever spoof of the horror genre.

Personal Thoughts

My lady and I both had the day off of work today, so we decided to kick back and watch a few movies ... Fright Night obviously being one of them!

Fright Night has always been one of my personal favorites ... definitely one of my favorite vampire movies. I liked the premise and I also liked the cast (with actors like Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall).
 
All I kept thinking when I was watching this movie was, "dang Charley, you gotta play it cooler than that before you get yourself killed!" He made the type of choices that would have landed a newer movie a poor rating, with people saying things like, "nobody's that stupid."

Roddy McDowall being cast as Peter Vincent "The Vampire Slayer" was also great! In conclusion, Fright Night's a classic that's fun and entertaining.
