    Fright Night debuted 36 years ago and it is as classic and entertaining in 2021 as it was in 1985. RIP the great Roddy McDowell.

    Fright Night is one of those iconic movies that you never forget and will watch again . Vampire movies from the the 1980 are the best.

      I remember rewinding the part where he stabs the werewolf evil kid with the bannister and it yelps in this way I found incredibly hilarious. It just sounds so lame for a werewolf it was ridiculous. The part with the fang teeth on that lady was really scary looking.

I also watched The Warriors at his place and other movies he had taped on VHS tapes, like The Hitcher.. what a classic that was as well.

We wanted the characters to come alive, the three who were walking down that terrifying street of horror. U should consider making this a read through like a book or short film. Honestly, I think it's got potential to be a feature length film. Bravo. Love it

    What a classic! Every October me and my daughters set up our Halloween lights and watch Fright Night. Great job on finding the locations.
