Review of Fright Night (1985) by Lyndsey P — 07 Apr 2011
Undoubtedly my favourite comedy horror of all time! True to 80's obsession with metamorphosis, some scenes are reminiscent of American Werewolf in London - Stephen Geoffries cracks me up and breaks my heart at the end as the tragic Evil Ed.
Chris Sarrandon is spot on with the borrowed vampy swagger of Christopher Lee and Bela Legosi, whilst in the next blink, he's transformed into the ugly stench that is age-old vampiros Jerry Dandridge.
Did I mention the iconic glamour scene in the club?
Saving the best til last, Roddy McDowall is genius as Peter Vincent - "The Great Vampire Killer"!
I watched this movie recently in the spirit of 1985! It's good fun - teenage horror that I watched before I was a teenager, which is why I love it so!
