Now Playing: The Fright Night Retrospective Series

by

Since Aug 9, 2011 06:00 UTC

In the 1980s, Fright Night starring Chris Sarandon brought new blood to the languishing vampire genre. Before Lost Boys, before Buffy, Charlie Brewster’s witnessing his new neighbor’s odd feeding habits electrified horror fans tired with the vampiric status quo. Now, in this new renaissance of Vampire films, Fright Night is poised to again bite into audiences, with the remake starring Colin Farrell. To prepare for the remake, join Now Playing as we review the original two Fright Night films, and then the new remake! Jerry and Billy would be great neighbors, were it not for all the apple cores they leave in the yard, and the bodies of dead prostitutes they take out in garbage bags. But while the rest of the neighborhood seems not to notice, Charlie Brewster realizes the truth–Jerry is a vampire. In 1985 Fright Night brought back the Vampire genre from the dead with its mix of horror and comedy. With Chris Sarandon as the evil, yet fashionable, Jerry, and Roddy McDowell as Peter Vincent, the fearless vampire killer, is this film’s allure eternal, or should it have been buried in the 80’s? Listen to Stuart, Arnie, and Brock to find out! Then come back to NowPlayingPodcast.com as we review all the Fright Night films, culminating with a review of the remake starring Colin Farrell!
