FRIGHT NIGHT Scares Us!

Our first remotely recorded episode, and I think its sounds effin phenomenal! Focusing on one of my favorite movies of all time, Tom Holland's 1985 classic Fright Night

Let's start with vampire Amy, because she's everything.


Oh god, she's drooling.  She's drooling.

Turns out she's also the creepy face in the clouds above the house in the poster:


And the video tape cover, which I have very vivid memories of examining at a creepy video store in Sidney, Montana.



And she shows up on this gum card wrapper for horror movies that I had in the 80s:

 

Ah, William Ragsdale, our hero -- turns out he was not on Riverdale; he was the dad on Netflix's Alex Strangelove last summer.


C'mon ... HE'S SO CUTE!


And today!  Still so cute.


Amanda Bearse as Amy and Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed.


Roddy McDowell (RODDY MCDOWELL, jeez!) as Peter Vincent.


Jerry's awesome vampire makeup -- impaled by a phallic pencil.


Jerry's big gay trench coat.


The seduction of Evil Ed.  Grrrrowr.




The amazing Evil Ed makeup.


Rape culture.


I don't know why I think this sweater is so sexy on him, but I do.


Not found in a gas station.


What is Billy?  Zombie?  Vampire-human hybrid?  Totally in love with Jerry?  Yes.


Amy's makeover.


Dinosaur bat.


Amy the vampire from the 2011 remake.  Shit.  Shit.


How can it compare to the original?  C'mon!
