"31 Horrors of October"- Fright Night (1985)


The original vampire epic Fright Night with Chris Sarandon is required Halloween viewing. Not that shitty remake that was released with Colin Farrell in 2011. With secondary character Evil Ed played by the hilariously annoying Stephen Geoffreys (he was also in 976-Evil) there's no way that if you're a fan of vampire flicks, that you can pass on this one. The best and probably most detailed scene has to be after Evil gets bit by Jerry, tricks St. Vincent into letting him into his room, gets burned in the forehead by his cross and then turns into a werewolf-only to be impaled by St. Vincent there after. The work and detail that went into all of that must have been something else. Certainly something we won't get out of any new vampire flicks these days. Shed some tears please.

 Charley Brewster and his mother have a new neighbor. He seems nice enough. Until some very attractive women start disappearing and Charley sees a coffin being carried into the basement of said neighbors home. Of course no one believes him, would you? Turning to local "vampire hunter" Peter St. Vincent is the only hope that Charley, Amy and Evil have. Until Amy and Evil get bit of course. If you love being scared, it'll be the night of your life.
