It’s giving Disturbia. It’s giving Scream. It’s giving Bram Stoker’s Dracula and The Lost Boys and Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire. And it’s most definitely giving Vincent Price. Make no mistake, though — Fright Night (1985) is absolutely iconic in its own right. A creature feature where each and every vampire gets their own special set of teeth, this classic ‘80s flick is home to some great hallmarks of the era. On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we’re breaking down Chris Sarandon’s famous monster movie as we talk about CLEAR references, hot couples, and incredible practical effects.

Stars of the horror classic: Fright Night William Ragsdale and Amanda Bearse join us to talk all about making the cult classic as well their thoughts on how it remains one of the most beloved horror films in the genre. 

As Halloween approaches, what better way to celebrate than to watch one of the more underrated horror films of the 1980s.  

This is the story of Charlie (William Ragsdale), a mild-mannered teenager living in suburbia who lives with his mother – one day, two strange new neighbors move in next door and one of them seems to have some VERY strange nocturnal behaviors.  One of those neighbors happens to be the mysterious Jerry Dandridge played by Chris Sarandon and Jerry appears to be….a vampire...

What follows is a scary, tense, and funny vampire tale featuring TOP-flight creature effects and a nice supporting performance by Roddy McDowall as the host of a late-night horror anthology  show known as ”Fright Night.”  

Tom Holland (no not the one who plays Spider-Man) both wrote and directed this movie before making a splash just a couple of years later directing the first Child's Play.

In the thirty-fourth episode of Season 4 (The Horror, The Horror) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann (of the West Coast Popcast) and actor Ben McGinley to discuss the meta tongue-in-cheek horror film about horror films, Tom Holland's teenage angst ridden vampire adventure Fright Night.

This week co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts review Fright Night (1985) and the 2011 remake starring Colin Farrell. We do a little showdown between the two films and pick a winner. Do you prefer your vampires mysterious and sexy? Or gross and rapey? Brewster vs Chekov, Evil vs. McLovin. How do Rob and Jamie do on our first 60 second plot summary challenge? Spoiler - not well.  Is Billy Cole the most underrated character- and what is he? Oh baby! It's a pair of horror films filled with titillation and one has a dance sequence!
