It stands on its own as a fine ode to the horror flicks of yesteryear.

Yeah, it's there, but that's not the only thing fans appreciate about it. In fact, you'd be surprised how many just like it because it's a damn good throwback vampire movie. I'm not generally a fan of vampire movies, but Fright Night is the exception that proves the rule.Brandon Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428583919973903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-24848493961706010102016-05-19T20:46:34.589-07:002016-05-19T20:46:34.589-07:00Thanks, John!

McDowall's character is an affectionate shout out to classic horror (especially Hammer). McDowall and Sarandon are wonderful.

You're right about the most complex and memorable villains being the ones you're intrigued by. Also, would love to see Roddy McDowall in this role. I bet he's terrific!<br /><br />Thanks for joining the blogathon, and for bringing Fright Night with you! :)Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-44238649802744311192016-05-18T04:15:39.202-07:002016-05-18T04:15:39.202-07:00Love this film.
