Review: Fright Night (1985)

 
With the remake wagon rolling for Fright Night, let's take a moment and review the original. As Evil Ed might say, "Read it slowly... oh so slowly..."  And, rest assured, we will have your review of the updated film very very soon.

With the release of a remake, it’s time once again to turn our gaze back to the 1980s and the vampire film Fright Night.  Unlike many of the modern day varieties of vampires, those featured in Fright Night are true monsters, hearkening to the original Bram Stoker tale of vampirism.  There’s a bit of brooding, sure, but that is in short supply with these shape-changing nocturnal predators.
