After years the seminal 1985 classic Fright Night finally gets not only a UK release on Blu-ray, but one which makes the rest look anaemic by comparison. Loaded with more enticing goodies than the Child-Catcher’s van, it also boasts the definitive transfer in both picture and sound.
Fright Night introduces us to Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale), a very normal teenaged boy. He enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Amy (Amanda Bearse), and his odd friend, Ed (Stephen Geoffreys). One day, Charley's mom (Dorothy Fielding) tells him that someone has bought the house next door and that night, Charley is convinced that he sees two men moving a coffin into the basement. The next day, Charley sees an attractive women going into the house and he then sees her on the news, as she was found murdered. Charley becomes convinced that his neighbor is a vampire and he calls the police. However, the homeowner, Jerry Dandrige (Chris Sarandon), laughs off this notion, and convinces the police that he and his roommate, Billy (Jonathan Stark), have done nothing wrong, making Charley look like a fool. In desperation, Charley approaches former horror movie actor and current TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) for help, who rebuffs Charley. However, Amy and Ed convince Vincent that he can help Charley get over this fantasy. When Vincent confronts Dandrige, he learns that the man is indeed a monster and it's now up to Charley and Vincent to stop this creature of the night.
