This is the dilemma Charley (William Ragsdale) must confront when he notices some rather strange occurrences on the block. His solution is to enlist the aid of Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), a has-been horror film actor who now hosts "Fright Night," a local TV show. Together, the duo set out to rid Charley of his coffin-dwelling neighbor--but their plans go awry when the suave bloodsucker realizes they're on to him.

 Despite the 80's look and feel Fright Night still holds up as traditional vampire tale taken to modern times. It's got all the elements needed to hold it's spot as a vampire classic and is going to remain there for a long, long time. Just don't worry about that cheese and you'll be fine.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Pretty fun vampire flick has enough gore and laughs to satisfy any avid fan. 'You're so cool Brewster!!'.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Some pretty sick gore, a damn suspenseful storyline and plenty of comedy make this one a must-see. It helped usher in the vampire comeback in horror cinema that's still with us.-- (eSplatter.com)

Fright Night is just another vampire movie out of the hundreds, but it does things better than most. ... There is great use of darkness in this movie, and the area they use if fantastic, dark alleys, eerie basements…etc.  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
