This movie and the Lost Boys are my favorite vampire flicks from the 80s. Chris Sarandon plays a sexy looking vampire. He was hot in that movie. It's about this new neighbor that moved in next door to this high school... Full review

In the eighties the slasher species of the horror movie was in full evolution and nobody really cared about the Vampire that was until Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patrick made a little flick called The Lost Boys. That film was what... Full review

What can you say about Fright Night. It is the definitive Vampire film of the 80's and perhaps the best one ever made. When was the last time we were treated to three great performances in any movie. Roddy McDowall, Chris... Full review
There are good reasons to be afraid of the dark.

This is one of the best vampire movies ever made, right up there with Bram Stoker's Dracula and From Dusk Till Dawn. Actually, I'd go so far as to say this is one of the best horror movies, period. The cast... Full review
Awesome Movie & Best Soundtrack ever

Perhaps the best vampire movie ever. It has both comedy and horror elements, and the acting is superb. It is totally reflective of the 80's decade, especially with the soundtrack being perhaps the best damn soundtrack ever. They should re-release the... Full review

being a classic film, it deserves it.....Fright Night 2 was good as well but wasn't necessary....In that dance scene, with Sarandon, she was a real sexy ass....Chris Sarandon, magnificently, nails this role as Terry Dandrige, which, in my opinion, makes him into an iconic horror actor, especially after Child's Play..... ...

This is a lame tale of a cruel childhood act coming back to haunt the adult versions of the bullies. ... Full Review

Fright Night has an excellent and action packed climax with enough rug pulls and reversals in the action to keep you on the edge of your seat. Part of the reason behind Fright Night's success (it's regarded as something of a cult horror film) can be attributed to the way it so seamlessly blends distinctly different elements into a cohesive (and entertaining story). ...

The first part of the movie is basically funny. Fright Night'' is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished. ... Full Review

The most interesting thing I noticed this viewing was just how true Fright Night is to the Hollywood vampire myth. This was also one of the first films I ever saw a nude scene in. Being a movie buff, I enjoyed the character of Peter Vincent. ... Full Review
