Think back to a time before films like Slither and Scream. A more innocent time, when men were men and movies weren’t stuffed full of CGI.

We’re talking about the ‘80s here. See, back in the ‘80s, the biggest taboo wasn’t having short cropped hair when everybody else had mullets, or, you know, NOT liking Madonna. It was the idea that horror and humour could co-exist in the same filmic adventure.

Fright Night royally put paid to that notion. Two years before The Lost Boys took its tentative ideas and ran with them, Fright Night combined the laughs with the screams to riotous effect. The story of a teen who thinks a vampire has moved in next door has become a bona fide cult classic, and deservedly so.

“I thought the idea of a gonzo horror fan becoming convinced that a vampire lived next door, which of course no one would ever believe him, and it was true. I just thought it was deliciously funny, and what I had always wished would happen to me!” quips director Tom Holland.
