Fright Night, 1985
Boy is this a fun movie! The story is interesting and entertaining, the characters are likeable and the special effects kick ass.
This is a pretty solid movie, it honors the classic vampire films, there are a bunch of Universal posters in the background and a few scenes of the Hammer classics, as well as the myths of the vampires and the ways a vampire can be killed. Remember: a cross is not good unless you have faith.
I love the idea of a horror fan catching a vampire in the act, there are some things that may seem a little cliche by today’s standards but it still holds up.
Over all it’s a fun movie and I think any horror fan should give it a watch.
P.S. A puppet that was created for another Columbia Pictures production, Ghost Busters, makes his debut in Fright Night. If you watch the movie it becomes pretty obvious which one.
