The premise
Charley Brewster, a high school student, accidentally discovers the true and creepy nature of Jerry Dandrige, his dashing and enigmatic new neighbor; but no one seems willing to believe him.
Horror Vault's take
When teenager Charley Brewster grows convinced that the charming man who just moved in next door is hiding a centuries-old secret, his frantic attempts to warn anyone who will listen fall on deaf ears. Desperate and out of options, he turns to a washed-up TV horror host as his last, unlikely line of defense. Fright Night balances genuine vampire menace with sharp comedic wit, delivering a love letter to classic monster movies wrapped in a thoroughly 1980s suburban package. It remains one of the decade's most beloved genre hybrids.
