About the event
The Movie Deets:
Released in 1985 and directed by Tom Holland, FRIGHT NIGHT follows teenager Charley Brewster after he discovers the charming man next door is actually a vampire. With no one believing him, his only hope is Peter Vincent, a washed-up TV horror host who's about to find out monsters are very, very real.
Why You'll Love It:
This is peak '80s horror. Expect incredible practical creature effects, a killer synth score, sharp humor, memorable one-liners, and one of horror's most charismatic villains in Jerry Dandrige. It's the perfect mix of scares and fun, making it just as entertaining today as it was nearly 40 years ago.
