H'ween Horrorthon: 'Fright Night' (1985)
"What's the matter, Charley? Scared?!" —Chris Sarandon as vampire Jerry Dandridge Hello, and velcome. So, I'm one of those people who isn't very squeamish when it comes to certain acts I see in horror films, least of all bloodsucking. I've never found vampires or even vampire folklore to be that scary to begin with. And yet, there's a certain frightening allure to them. Somehow, the idea of being undead for all eternity with bulging yellow eyes and sharp fangs with the ability to bite and then suck blood out of a jugular vein seems rather sad and pathetic. But, the allure comes from what vampires can also do. They can shapeshift (turn into bats, wolves, maybe even a cat; perhaps, a raccoon?), and they can also gently coax and persuade their victims in order to feed their bloodlust. They either become vampires themselves, or are disposed of after the act.
