I remember watching this movie at a slumber party. Chris Sarandon was great.

Fright Night is one of my favorite vampire movies. I always love watching it late at night. Chris Sarandon was so perfect as Jerry.

I thought Jerry was hot as a vampire, he's like Spike or Angel on Buffy then for the 80s. The movie poster used to scare me.

I think Jerry is what Dracula would be in the 80`s. He just had that dark smoothness and charisma that lured in the ladies and made fellas like myself wish that they could be him.

I always have to watch this movie around Halloween. So I watched it the other night, still is such a great horror movie. Movie doesn't scare me, but the cover still does, I found myself turning the cover face down so I wouldn't see it

I plan to watch the 2nd movie soon, I just don't like it like I do the original, I think cause Jerry isn't in it.

Something still confuses me, Evil Ed is turned into a vampire but why is he turned into a wolf right before he is killed, I mean I thought a more powerful vampire like Dracula or in this movie Jerry could do that.

This is such a great movie. Love the pics. Jerry was one hot vampire!

I loved Fright Night. It's definitley high on my 80's must haves that I haven't gotten yet.

This movie is just fun. Classic, fun, 80's horror. Evil Ed is a hoot. Sarandon was great, and so was Roddy McDowall. It's also a trip seeing Amanda Bearse(Marcy on MWC) as the girlfriend. Lol.
