Fright Night debuted 36 years ago and it is as classic and entertaining in 2021 as it was in 1985. RIP the great Roddy McDowell.

I remember rewinding the part where he stabs the werewolf evil kid with the bannister and it yelps in this way I found incredibly hilarious. It just sounds so lame for a werewolf it was ridiculous. The part with the fang teeth on that lady was really scary looking.

Such a classic and cool movie. I would have loved to see that movie in the cinema for the first time in 85 when it was new.

I absolutely love this! All of it. The music, the art, and the clever classic horror movie references! My son and I found ourselves sitting for what must have been 10m entranced and expecting a movie to begin. We wanted the characters to come alive, the three who were walking down that terrifying street of horror. U should consider making this a read through like a book or short film. Honestly, I think it's got potential to be a feature length film. Bravo. Love it

They're just more distinct, because less weathered, in the movie.
