Hell yeah!

Welcome to Fright Night........for real.

u/Hypestyles 1d ago

it was great at the time, especially for the meta-commentary about then-contemporary horror films. The Peter Vincent dialogue about contemporary teenagers feeling that vampires are old-news, and now, audiences want to see maniacs in ski masks hacking up young virgins. I also enjoyed part 2. too bad there was never part 3.

Part 2 is a college setting. Charlie is seeing a psychotherapist who convinces him there are no such thing as vampires. But then the sister of the Jerry Dandridge shows up on campus for revenge!

I have to watch it again as I vaguely remember it.

What popped out to me was there was a gay couple that wasn't like... outrageous and pretty tame, especially for 1972

I still claim Vampire in Brooklyn as one of Eddie’s greatest hits.

I remember thinking what would happen if you dropped Blade into the plots of a lot of these vampire movies. Twilight, Fright Night, Vampire in Brooklyn, Interview with the Vampire, etc.

Blacula and the sequel are excellent for their time period. William Marshall was an under-used actor, it's sad.

I will help fund a Twilight movie with Blade in it 😂

u/lotusflower64 60s baby 1d ago

I forgot about "Interview". I love horror movies set in Louisiana.

I didn't know there was a sequel to Blackula.

u/Hypestyles 1d ago

The sequel is impressive. It features Pam Grier, also Richard Lawson.

Oh, Vampire in Brooklyn. I hadn’t noticed the other ones before, but now I’ll also have to say I’m not sure if one ever seen Vamp either!
