"Welcome to Fright Night! For real." Fright Night is good old-fashioned '80s cheese - there's no better or more accurate way to describe this classic horror-comedy hybrid. Written and directed by Tom Holland (who carried out the same double duty for Child's Play), this is a true B-movie in every sense of the word that brings a bunch of traditional B-movie clichés out to play: high school student... read more

I've always been a fan of horror, I remember being a fan of Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark as well as in addition to this developing an interest in werecreatures because of a website I went on that had various pictures specifically screencaptures from movies/tv shows/cartoons/anime that had monster/werecreature/transformation elements, and that's when I discovered Big Wolf On Campus (my... read more

For young Charlie Brewster, nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie's favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn't really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money...

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1473 movies items)

" Charlie Brewster, is a horror movie nerd, who becomes increasingly convinced that the new neighbour next door, isn’t just a yuppie, but also is a yuppie vampire. And a murderer! No one believes him, not his friends, his mother, or the cops. Unfortunately, for Charlie, Jerry has the hots, for his cute, adorable, girlfriend, Amy, and his quirky, odd best friend, Evil Ed is now a vampire! Can Charlie, and Peter Vincent, vampire Hunter and TV show host, put a stake in Jerry’s heart? Or is to"

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: Chris Sarandon, as Jerry Dandrich Peter Vincent. Vampire Klller It’s a great homage to horror films, especially vampire movies from the 60’s and 70’s. It’s both funny, and scary at the same time. The effects work. The soundtrack."

My Favorite Films of 1985 (25 movies items)

" "I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers anymore, or vampires either. Apparently, all they want to see are demented madmen running around in ski-masks, hacking up young virgins."
