1980's Retro Movies: Fright Night

Remember the movies you once loved as a kid? So say you had been a child of the 1980's retro times... Recall great films like "Fright Night"?! (lmao)

This cult classic is about a teenage kid name Charlie, obsessed with horror films, who gets the privilege of having a Jerry Dandridge, a vampire, move in to the house next door to him. Of course, no one believes Charlie when he tries to tell everyone that the handsome, rich guy who just became the new neighbor is also the undead. A series of crazy things happens to Charlie on his mission to prove that Jerry Dandridge is in fact a vampire and finally makes the attempt to rid himself of the evil creature.

I can remember when my brothers and I watched that film over and over, and loved quoting parts of that movie! We still do it from time to time.

Our favorite part was the end. Peter Vincent and the kid Charlie, kills the vampire Jerry Dandridge, and all the vamp could do was call out for Amy, his love whom had reminded him of a previous long lost love. "Amy" the now almost vampiress, high school girl, is the actress we remember most as the lady next door on "Married with Children".

This film is a good example of what depicted the whole 1980's retro thing! I would watch it if it came on today. I'd buy the crap soundtrack if I found it as well.
