Description	Meet Jerry Dandridge. He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he's the perfect neighbor. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap, there's just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red and straight from the jugular! It's FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howlstarring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerry's deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the "Great Vampire Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? If you love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT...will give you the nightmare of your life.

After seeing this again, I have to say that I like it better than the remake, but I still liked the remake. The actors are very fitting for the characters, except I think Amy's hairdo made her look too old, even for the 80's. Really great effects for that era, but I enjoyed the special effects in the new one, and Collin Ferrell played jerry dandridge great. "Evil" and "Roddy Mcdowell" are my favorites from the original and the vampire hunter in the remake is awesome too.

Watched it a couple of times in the theater when it first came out and the original Fright Night is still a blast. Very '80s vibe but doesn't feel at all dated. Outstanding cast and characters, each one a riff on a classic vampire movie stock character, with new life breathed into every role: Roddy McDowall does a droll turn as the Van Helsing type character; Charley and Amy as the Jonathan Harker and Mina characters; Jonathan Stark does a snarky turn as the Salem's Lot Richard Straker type second to his master; Stephen Geoffreys is hilarious as Evil Ed in the Renfield role, and convincingly pulls off a very difficult role with moments of pathos. Chris Sarandon is so suavely sardonic you kinda hope he'll win in the end. One of the great junk food movies.

I love this movie! This is one of my best vampire movies. Chris Sarandon played one of the sexiest vampires! Loved seeing Roddy McDowall in this movie.
