I really liked Hayek's performance here, too; a definitive highlight.
BTW "Satánico Pandemónium" is the title of a notorious mexican horror movie (through it concerned demons, not vampires). I always wondered if the reference was intentional.

 Somewhat campy by today's standards, this guilty pleasure is damn near the epitome of 80's "suburban horror" maintaining an overall quality to the horror, writing, effects, and atmosphere than what you may expect! It's "Frrrrrrrrrrrright Niiiiiiight..... for real!"

I love Fright Night! One of those rare horror-comedy hibrids that are genuinely scary (through The lost boys may have done it even better). Chris Sarandon was outstanding as the vampire here.

 Prior to drastically switching gears to write heavily Christian-themed works, Anne Rice served up some of the most popular vampire lore, and at the top of that heap was this popular little gem with arguably the most all-star cast of any film on the list! |

Like Fright Night a lot - whatever happened to Tom Holland, huh? Masters of Horror's "We All Scream For Ice-cream" wasn't that great, was it?
"Interview with the Vampire" - not a bad movie, sure, but not one of my favorites, either. Saw it once and don't feel like rewatching it. EVER.

Strong feelings on Interview, huh Bart?
What's the deal?

Interview with the vampire --didn't mind it and wouldn't really mind seeing it again, but it didn't impress me much.
I think I actually enjoyed this movie much more than the book. Anne Rice's stile just doesn't do it for me. As far as gothic slash fiction (really, what else can you describe her work as?) goes, I much prefer Poppy Z. Brite.
Back on the movie I did get a kick out of certain lines on it (that weren't in the novel), such as:
- "Whining again! I've hearing that for centuries!"
- "Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires? How avant-garde!"

 Ahhhh! No list of anything great would be complete without the two Corey's, amiright?? Haim and Feldman star as the pubescent heroes battling against Vampires in a sleepy coastline town. Just another one of those movies that resonates with moody neo-goth, neo-vampire types to this day. Before The Crow, there was The Lost Boys. Anyone see that recent sequel? No? Color me surprised. |

The lost boys is pretty good, too. At least on par with Fright night.
But I'm a bit surprised at how many horror / comedy hybrids ended on the list...

I haven't watched Fright Night in FOREVER! I love it and used to watch it all the time... Interview and Lost Boys both got my vote, can't count the times that I've watched them.  |
