Fright Night & The Company of Wolves

Tom Holland’s Fright Night
(R, 1985, 106 min)
Teenage Charley Brewster is a horror-film junkie, so it’s no surprise that, when a new neighbor named Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) moves next-door, Brewster becomes convinced he is a vampire. It’s also no surprise when nobody believes him. However, after strange events begin to occur, Charlie has no choice but to turn to the only person who could possibly help: washed-up television vampire killer named Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall).
