We love the ‘80s! Like The Lost Boys, Fright Night is gloriously and defiantly of its time. With its funky disco beats, its dodgy fashion, and its punky parlance, it’s a beautiful ode to the trash of the era that taste forgot.

“I will tell you the genre was dead,” says director Holland. “The last vampire movie before Fright Night was Love At First Bite. It was a farcical comedy with George Hamilton. When they do farce, it means the genre is played out. It is exhausted.” Trust the ‘80s to reinvigorate it.

Just look at that diner. No McDonalds chain here….
