“It was awesome. The writing was incredible. Sometimes you read a script… but this one, I just got this really awesome feeling about it,” says Stephen Geoffreys. “I read it and thought I’ve got to do this. I called my agent and said ‘I would love to audition for the part of Charley Brewster!’”

Ah how differently things could have turned out. Instead, Geoffreys bagged the iconic role of Evil Ed. Everybody loves the comedy sidekick, and Ed is no different. His squeaky laugh, his comic one-liners… And the fact that pretty sharpish he turns into a massive threat…

“He took chances,” Holland says of Geoffreys. “He was big. He scared the hell out of me! And it worked! The character choices he made, they were very, very great character choices. He was the one that was the farthest out. Everybody was wonderful, but special kudos to Stephen.”

All hail Fright Night.
