FRIGHT NIGHT is a wonderful blend of horror-fantasy and day-to-day life reality. What would you do if you thought a vampire lived (un-lived?) next door? Charlie Brewster's dilemma is just that simple, until it's complicated by the fact that the vampire knows he knows. What follows is a great romp through everyone's disbelief, punctuated by the seriously scary moves of Jerry Dandridge, the vampire. Peter Vincent, the broken-down vampire-movie actor, is nailed by veteran Roddy McDowell. He almost steals the show (and well he could), but instead he plays his part as a major member of the ensemble, just as he should. This film is a must-have for any vampire movie collector.
