Fright Night

1985· R· 1h 47m· Comedy· Horror

There are some very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.

Fright Night casts a young, naive Charley Brewster into the shadowy world of vampire lore when he uncovers Jerry Dandrige's sinister secret. As Jerry's new neighbor, Charley witnesses behaviors that hint at the vampire's true identity, but his attempts to alert others fall on deaf ears, leaving him alone to combat the undead. Director Tom Holland's film is a sharp, gothic yarn that uses suburban anonymity to chilling effect, blending teenage angst with the allure and terror of the vampire myth.
