Fright Night (1985)

This is one of those must-watch movies for me during the month of January. Not sure why, but it seems to go well against the snow and cold. It's always a blast and I'm always finding new things to appreciate about it. Chris Sarandon and Amanda Bearse's hypnotic dance, the dynamic score by Brad Fiedel, the state-of-the-art (at the time) practical effects, the references to Hammer-era horror... I just really, really love this movie to pieces.

10/10

That has to be one of the coolest and most impressive movie posters (not just horror) of the 1980s, I guess so much, several ones later "borrowed" it, such as the Return of the Living Dead Part: II (1988), but that film is of course not even close of the classic that is Fright Night.

For me, I usually tend to watch it during the late summer, I do not know why, but it has just ended up that way, and still a great movie, is still great movie no matter when or where I see it.

What I love more and more about each viewing, is that it just keeps on getting better and more rewarding for each time, and that is why I guess it holds such a special place for so many fans of it.

I did watch the remake a few years back, and it was not awful, but I felt it never came even close, once, to match the comedy, horror, atmosphere, music or special effects, and Colin Farrell I thought was, well not horrible, just bland and completely forgettable which I felt also the movie pretty much could be summed out to be as well.
