## Description

Sixteen-year-old Charley Brewster tries to convince everyone that his next door neighbor is a vampire who is responsible for a series of unexplained murders. He finally wins the support of a TV horror-show host and, together, they track down the killer.

Review: A favorite 80s vampire movie with comedy, gooey gore and monstrous fanged mouths. - This is an old favorite and, having just seen it for the first time in 15+ years, I can see why. The practical effects and humor hold up surprisingly well and the gore is pretty feisty. Not at all scary, just loads of gross fun. Charley (William Ragsdale; Fright Night 2, The Reaping), his girlfriend Amy (Amanda Bearse; Married with Children) and his quirky friend “Evil” Ed (Stephen Geoffreys; 976-Evil, The Chair, and according to IMDB a bunch of porn) discover that his new neighbor Jerry (Chris Sarandon; The Resurrected, The Sentinel) is actually a vampire! This 80s horror classic boasts the standard teen tropes when, upon Charley’s initial discovery of his blood-drinking neighbor, he starts yelling “vampire” to everyone (his mother, the police) and, not surprisingly, no one listens to this nonsense. But thankfully his buddy Ed knows the tricks of the monstrous trade (for some reason; not unlike the Frog Brothers of The Lost Boys). Also following the standard yet somewhat pleasing tropes of the time, his mother grants invitation to her very single fanged suitor (again, followed suit by The Lost Boys). Our vampire snacks on apples for dental health, makes some idle threats to a teenager, strangles and toys with the kid when he could have just ripped his head off, and is thwarted by a pencil wound to the hand. However silly, this all leads us down a rabbit hole of more exaggerated antics when Charley canvases his room with rosaries, crosses, garlic and candles (he must have a big allowance) and then our teenaged protagonists enlist the help of television horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall; Embryo, Shakma, Fright Night 2), who happens to be an actual expert when it comes to dealing with the fanged undead. And let’s not forget the needlessly long “seduction dance scene” which, given this film is pretty old, gets me wondering if it wasn’t one of the first movies with such a scene (i.e., a long dance scene whose entire purpose was to be sexy or to seduce, LOL). There was Return of the Living Dead (1985), although not deliberately “seductive” there was A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), I only mention the Lost Boys (1987) because that singer might have gotten that saxophone pregnant, perhaps the undead ballerina solo in Evil Dead 2 (1987), then of course there was Night of the Demons (1988) and Night of the Demons 2 (1994) with their blatant and numerous demonic sexy dances. The first hour of the movie offers little in the way of gore and some decent semi-scary vampire make-up, but in the final 30 minutes things get really good. I mean, it’s still silly. But this movie features a looong gory death scene that doubles as a gooey transformation scene (to a werewolf-looking form), a super disgusting melting death, a huge and ugly vampire bat, and the monstrously over-sized vampire mouth that would subsequently be used in the Fright Night (2011) remake and the From Dusk ‘til Dawn (1996) films. Director Tom Holland (Child’s Play, The Temp, Thinner) really hit this one out of the park. There are no scares, nor are there meant to be, although the monsters look menacing enough. This is entirely fun—sometimes funny, sometimes gross-out gory, but always a rewatchable joy that withstands the test of time.
Review: Really fun cult classic 80s horror film, love letter also to classic horror - Cult classic American horror film from 1985, one of those films I had heard of and meant to watch but just now got around to seeing. It was a lot of fun, I liked the cast and the overall story, it has some good practical effects, it was great seeing Roddy McDowall, and it was a blast of 80s nostalgia. Good nods to classic vampire tropes too. Fitting nicely into the “kids/teens fight evil in the suburbs, protecting a disbelieving or unaware town” subgenre, a subgenre I really like, the movie’s central character is Charley Brewster (played by William Ragsdale), a 17 year old high school student and fan of a local late night TV series called Fright Night, hosted by a former well known horror movie star named Peter Vincent (played by Roddy McDowall). One night, while with his girlfriend Amy Peterson (played by Amanda Bearse), he notices that the next-door neighbor, newly moved in, is, well, odd, and soon concludes this neighbor, Jerry Dandridge (played by Chris Sarandon) is in fact a vampire. Only no one believes Charley, not Amy, not Charley’s best friend Edward “Evil Ed” Thompson (played by Stephen Geoffreys), not his mom, not the police, no one. With women in town vanishing or turning up dead, all the signs that Jerry is a vampire, and no one to turn to…well I can’t say much more, but the film does end up involving Peter Vincent as well. I liked the movie’s progression from Charley trying to convince his friends that Jerry is a vampire, protecting himself and his mom from a threat his mom is blissfully unaware of, to a group assembled to fight Jerry (ok, that may be spoilerish). It is a fun movie, a little campy maybe at times but it is mostly pretty earnest and is a lot of fun, clearly a movie made as a love letter to classic horror films. Lots of surprisingly good practical effects, especially the climatic scene, and it was fun to see a really traditional vampire, more like the ones in the old black and white movies rather than any new revisionist, modern take. I liked especially the Peter Vincent and Evil Ed characters, the first such a classic embodiment of Vincent Price and Peter Cushing type characters, the second a classic 80s character. Just a fun horror movie.
