I'll hopefully be meeting him at Spooky Empire next month! I'm not sure whether to get him to sign a headshot of himself as Jerry, or a large Funko Pop of Jack Skellington that I have. What do you think?
Me too, Ron! I was too terrified to sit through an entire vampire movie before this. This was the first one that was both terrifying and fun at the same time. Vampire became my favourite genre of horror right after Fright Night.
@stan sorensen ah, come on!😁😁😁 That was so genuine! Except for Charlie, all of them were convinced he was not a vampire... Until that moment. It was like a heavy plot twist.
FRIGHT NIGHT was a very unexpected hit at the time of its release. The horror genre was churning out so many films during the 1980's that eventually it got carried away with itself. Fortunately however, this film was one of the few that really had a story with fun characters. We also loved Evil Ed! :)
mark henson The DVD is extremely rare to find. Perhaps Amazon.com. But if you have Facebook director Tom Holland has a online store called Terror Time devoted to films he made. As well as other genre directors. And I own the signed Eureka Blu-ray/DVD Of Fright Night. 2 Discs with a ton of bonus features. Including the panel reunion with the cast of Fright Night back in 2008 I think. Great Buy.
yes i also remember watching this as a little kid at the movies with my dad, the good old day's, dont make movie's like this eny more, and the crowd loved it.
Walter White I don’t know, I liked the remake! I think it honored the spirit of the original while still making it something uniquely it’s own. Just my opinion, though.
@@bloodsling well I'd imagine that he was pretty shaken at first. He never had faith, but something about facing down a real vampire might make you find your faith lol especially when he tells you flat out, "you have to have faith for that to work" Edit: I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic in your response or not. Sorry if I come off as a pushy super nerd
Great little touches to this scene. Jerry sounds just a little nervous when asking whether the water is actually holy or not. He also briefly forgets to hand the prop back to Peter once he's done drinking. He was so nervous and then so relieved that that little detail slipped his mind. Great bit of both subtle writing and acting there. The scene also tells you something about Jerry: he's a coward with very little tolerance for pain. Beneath all the arrogance and superficial charm, he's basically just a bully.
I don't know if he did have little tolerance for pain, since if the water was indeed holy water it would've burned through him like acid if he drank it. If anything he was quite brave to drink it if he wasn't sure what it was
@@rockys201 Nah, he knew the odds of it really being holy were very low since Peter didn't believe he was a vampire and wasn't doing a serious test. Plus, he checked it by holding it over the fire. It's not clear how vampires see the world, but the implication of the scene is him making sure it wasn't holy before drinking it. Despite him knowing Peter's motivations, despite double checking it by checking it over the fire, he was still nervous as hell. Because he's a coward.
@@MarsM13 he was nervous because he knew Charlie was still a threat, and if Peter didn't take Charlie's cross away he would've exposed Dandridge. I think it was normal enough to be nervous, not necessarily cowardly
I loved Roddy McDowall in this movie. The movie is a cult classic. Tom Holland came up with the character Peter Vincent to pay homage to Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.
My deal is like, did no one see when Jerry backed away when Charlie held up the cross? Like, if they were all in the same room watching him, shouldn't they have seen that?
Well till this day many viewers miss the part where Jerry puts the supposed holy water next to the fire to see if its actually blessed. I don't know how that's done, but clearly that subtle aspect on Jerry's part was missed.
Peter played it off pretty well though, despite panicking, until moments later, Jerry steps on the small shard of glass to know he knows his secret LMAO
Mr. Vincent will go down and IMO has already been written down as one of the greatest screen hero’s of all time. Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer!
Charlie’s character is amazing,he’s not stupid as he figures out quickly the water wasn’t holy at all. To top it off,he actually despises Gerry Dandridge for what he is and what he does. And he’s itching to destroy him.
This was the first horror movie I ever watched. Watched it at my cousin's house when it first came out on tape. They had just purchased their first VCR
If I have to be honest I think this was the movie and the first time I heard of Roddy McDowall but then eventually I find out that he portrayed Cornelius and Caesar in the original Planet of the Apes and I've been a fan of it ever since
I remember watching this on USA up all night as a kid with my brother nathan. I miss you nathan, rest in peace...I love you little brother and we will see each other again soon enough....awesome movie, great memories ♥️😁
Jerry has the best bodyguard. When you have the best bodyguard, singular, you don't need an army of bodyguards. I'm being silly, but I grew up with this movie and every scene is accurate and great. Let's not the music of course.
@@alanchamberlain9902 I really did not appreciate the remake with Colin Ferrell. The original Fright Night broke the mold: everything worked - acting, plot and music. My family watches original every Halloween.
@@Blake4014 I read somewhere that he was a ghoul. Apart from eating corpses, I'm not sure what a ghoul's "prerequisites" are supposed to be, so don't take my word for it. 😉
Loved this one better than it's remake, but it was still good, plus the added bonus of seeing Chris Sarandon in it too shows how serious they were in doing it,one thing I always liked about the movies is how they set Jerry Dandridge as kind of a tragic villain, he only did what he did to survive, granted it wasn't the best way to go about it, immortality is by far in all sense of the word, a curse
When I watched him drink the holy water, it's so plain to see he held it in front of the fire. I almost assumed that holy water is neutralised if warmed up.
That wasn't holy water. In an earlier scene, Vincent called Dandridge to set up the holy water test but Dandridge claimed to be a born again Christian and that he believed using holy water would have been sinful. That was, of course, to prevent Vincent from using holy water which would have exposed Dandridge as a vampire. Dandridge drank ordinary tap water in this scene.
My favourite movie back in days Fight Night, I remember my dad brought two movies from bargains shop, Rocky 4 and Fight Night they were VHS those days😁
Spencer Pearson of course, it doesn’t live up to the original but in terms of horror remakes it sits on the better end of the spectrum. The only negatives I have with the remake are McLovin as Evil Ed and Charlie isn’t as big as a horror fan like he was in the original. Overall, it’s a decent horror comedy and there’s FAR worse remakes.
No thankfully at that moment Mr. Vincent was able to mask his discovery with his being supposedly clumsy. You best believe if Jerry detected that Peter Vincent had held the mirror at a angle that showed him being invisible reflection wise, both he and his zombie handler Billy Cole would have killed them all right there on the spot.
You could justify that he just suprised and frightened. If my neighbor who had already called the cops on me came at me with a cross, I’d be scared he was going to try and put it through my eye.
Dandrige told Mr. Vincent on the phone to not bring any crosses because he's reborn Christian and thinks crosses are sacrilegious. That's because Vincent doesn't react to him getting surprised and stops Charlie and puts the cross back in his pocket.
@@blkluv100 Don't you love those people whose names are actually a combo of 2 first names? I wonder if anyone is named Scott Scott, but I saw Mohammed Mohammed in a newspaper once.
I've never really understood the whole "Vampires have no reflection in mirrors" thing if all of him was invisible, would it make more sense if his head and hands were invisible in the mirror? It's not like his clothing is part of him. I guess you can say "He's entirely invisible when he's wearing them" but if he took off his sweater in a mirror, wouldn't just be a floating sweater or would it still be invisible if he's holding it?
One of my favourite films of all time! Fright Night, among others, is a perfect example of how Eighties actors used to really OVER-act, yet it never really came across as strange or silly. (Okay, maybe when Evil does it. Hehehe)

@@eduardomagana3858 Yes. This is the right answer. Jerry wasn't sure that water isn't blessed . So he holded it close to the fire for a few seconds to be sure. If it was a holy water you would see it as a pure white fire... Like angel's grace or something like that
Antichrist: I've said it before- for anyone prepping to play a vampire in a new film- they need to study Sarandon's portrayal. He captured like the mix of predator/seducer in one performance that would put True Blood and Twilight to shame.

Even if the holy water was blessed it still wouldn’t convince Charlie. Especially after Jerry changed into that beast once he got stabbed with the pencil.
@@GlenRoss-ug5jm I think it was just ordinary tap water. There was a scene where one of them contacted Jerry and Peter said that it wouldn’t be holy water.
Two things. 1. Vincent could have lied about the holy water, killing him then and there. 2. Regardless of whether or not, if he lived, they would have all died in that room. So him playing it off was probably the best to get them out of the house.
Una de las mejores peliculas de vampiros de principio a fin ...la vin de niño hasta hoy asusta ...los actores son increibles ...recuerdo que tube pesadillas con esta cinta
I met Chris Sarandon at a comic con a few years back...super nice guy, very humble and gracious.
wow very cool
I'll hopefully be meeting him at Spooky Empire next month!
I'm not sure whether to get him to sign a headshot of himself as Jerry, or a large Funko Pop of Jack Skellington that I have.
What do you think?
RIP Roddy McDowall (September 17, 1928 - October 3, 1998), aged 70
You will always be remembered as a legend.
80s movies are the golden age of cinema
I agree.
Bronze age
And for music and wrestling too😏
@Farzaan Ali 80's better
@Farzaan Ali we are talking about American movies idiot.
This movie holds a special place in my heart
Me too, Ron! I was too terrified to sit through an entire vampire movie before this. This was the first one that was both terrifying and fun at the same time. Vampire became my favourite genre of horror right after Fright Night.
Well, it wouldn't hold a place in your brain.
I loved it when he saw no reflection realizing Charlie was right
But why did he open a pocket mirror? Check his make-up lol
To check for himself if the guy was really a vampire.
@@vrASMR180 i
It was a cigarette case. Retro cigarette cases usually have a mirror in them.
Scared shitless. 😅
@@vrASMR180I wondered the same thing haha
For me, this is still one of the best vampire flicks there is. Way better than the remake.
Yes for sure. another 80s classic never to be bettered
I thought the remake was pretty good. I like this but the remake was good too.
For me its the best...the atmosphere is awesome, full of suspense.
Bram Stoker's Dracula is pretty good too
@@CobraKaiOwner yep...love that too...really dark movie
I liked the part where Mr. Vincent gasped loudly as he dropped the mirror. It get's me everytime. XD

Interesting career. He was also in a lot of crappy films too

Roddy is so charming in this movie. I love him to pieces.
"You Got Have Faith for that to Work Mr. Vincent" best line of whole movie.
and then seconds later he finds that faith and the crucifix works..so so good.
But in telling him that...he’s giving the game away letting him know his crucifix has authority over him...albeit if he believes.
You are right about that.

He could've had either Peter Cushing or Vincent Price to play Peter Vincent. They were alive at the time.
AboundingVampireKiller20 Roddy McDowall was perfect for Peter Vincent in Fright Night
Roddy and Chris Sarandon 🙌🏼
dnasty312 Yes, without Roddy McDowall and Chris Sarandon it would have been another 80s slasher with unknown young actors.
It's strange when someone is aware of the truth, but can't convince those around him to save their lives. Great scene.
Johnny Depp said he based his character Ichabod Crane off Roddy McDowalls’ Peter Vincent performance. You can really see the comparison.
@@cactusmalone Mainly impersonating himself on screen.
"Young man are you calling me a liar?" I love Roddy's old British gentleman's accent there lol
What’s the matter Charlie?. Scared?. One of the best lines in the film.

Fright Night is such a great movie- such a great title.
'80's horror was the pinnacle.
When mr vincent leaves in a hurry he almost touches dandrige , but hes afraid and avoids contact with him, great little pice of actuation

How about when peter says he didn't cast a reflection ed and amy must not have heard that lol.

@@Jmatrixxxxxxxx I felt sorry for Evil Ed. He should've listened to Charlie. He was really his friend. He tried.
such an underrated flick,brilliant acting from Roddy @2:17 the terrified "oh f**k" look is perfect
That gasp when he drops the cigarette case. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or the one where Evil Ed makes him jump after he reveals he's been bitten in his apartment LMAO 🤣
Love how Jerry move towards the door when Peter dropped the mirror. Like he was blocking it. He's obviously been in that situation before. Lol
Peter played it off pretty well though, despite panicking, until moments later, Jerry steps on the small shard of glass to know he knows his secret LMAO
Let’s pretend that we are smart because if we all had a friend like Charlie, nobody would believe him until they start acting like Mr. Vincent😂😂😂😂
Saw this as part of a triple feature at the Capitol theater in Philadelphia for $3.75
Great times...great movies!!!
Have you notice that jerry's house does not have no mirrors and not that much light.
Matthew Hamilton drinking holy water how hot
Matthew Hamilton
Awww
hey i don't like light......or mirrors...hmmmm

One of the BEST vampire movies of the 80s
Loved when Jerry said the threat of his friends and Billy stepped forward.A reminder that even during the daytime they were in danger

Love Mr. Vincent gentle brit accent
I'm British and his accent is north of London. I like American accents. United Kingdom, and United States of America united forever 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Cristoph Waltz would be a good actor to portray this character if there was a remake.
Oh geez.....great idea!!!
A remake did come out in 2011
Their were two remakes released which starred Colin Farrell and the late Antoine Yelchin.
The other was titled Fright Night 2 starring Jaime Murray as the very seductive Professor Gerri Dandridge.
Noooo remake

He didn't catch the reflection in my mirror... My fav part
It's "he didn't cast a reflection in my mirror "
Mr. Billy Cole gave Charlie that look like
You Know We Bout 2 F**k U Up Right?
When I watched him drink the holy water, it's so plain to see he held it in front of the fire. I almost assumed that holy water is neutralised if warmed up.
I don't think that's it. I think he would see something, maybe some sort of painful glow, that would be invisible to human eyes.

Absolutely love Roddy McDowall....
He's great in this but he will always be remembered as the ape Cornelius in classic Planet of the apes.
The very movie I loved watching as a kid. Still love it to this day 🙂
Him backing up when Charlie grabbed the cross was a dead giveaway 😭
No one seemed to noticed that
His color fades away literally.
I like Mr Vincent he's so funny and scared in this movie lol

What a great movie.
Brings back great memories watching this back in the 80's
After years since last seeing this movie tonight I randomly hear Peter's voice saying "No vampire can drink Blessed Water" ... Lol
seeing a cross and backing up against the wall to get away from it isn't enough of a red flag?
He didnt see it
You could justify that he just suprised and frightened. If my neighbor who had already called the cops on me came at me with a cross, I’d be scared he was going to try and put it through my eye.

Billy Cole (Jonathan Stark) was really creepy in this movie! :-)
James Sedgwick the whole cop scene is great.
He looks like a knock off Kevin bacon
When Billy dies, "GOO!"
I always wondered something, was Billy Cole a ghoul or Jerry's familiar?
Much better than the remake in my humble opinion.
Mr. Vincent was useless in this scene. He didn’t think Jerry was really a vampire until it was basically too late.
you have to love Mr Vincent's hair du
I see how they missed when Jerry held the water to the fire to be absolutely sure that the water wasn't blessed.
But how does that work? The fire reveals what?
I've never really understood the whole "Vampires have no reflection in mirrors" thing if all of him was invisible, would it make more sense if his head and hands were invisible in the mirror?

@@ГолубьПутина Ah. I see.

Katrina Haynes most women including Susan Sarandon love Chris Sarandon hell they have been divorced for yrs and she kept HIS last name.
Antichrist: I've said it before- for anyone prepping to play a vampire in a new film- they need to study Sarandon's portrayal. He captured like the mix of predator/seducer in one performance that would put True Blood and Twilight to shame.
Jerry Smith no Jerry she kept "HIS" name and didn't have to.
The bedwrench sticks agian.
You can se Billy Cole DID cast a reflection , so certainly wasn't a vampire
He's some sort of ghoul creature, sorta like the Reinfield character for Dracula, takes care of him and has super strength and immortality
I'm curious, when Jerry held the bottle over the fire, was that his way of trying to "burn" whatever potential blessing it may have been given?
Apparently there's a couple of reasons, it could be either of them or both.
1 - Cause he's trying to see if there's any salt in the water, often salt was used in Holy Water to purify it
2 - Cause blood is warm, he was heating the water up to make it bearable to drink
Hope this helps cause I'm still trying to figure out the exact proper reason
This year I've watched this movie it was pretty good it's better than the 2011 version of Fright Night
Even if the holy water was blessed it still wouldn’t convince Charlie. Especially after Jerry changed into that beast once he got stabbed with the pencil.
It was blessed it's that Jerry performed a black magic spell by holding holy water over fire to desanctify it.
@@GlenRoss-ug5jm I think it was just ordinary tap water. There was a scene where one of them contacted Jerry and Peter said that it wouldn’t be holy water.
That was a old movie but a Classic though!
My absolute favourite film ever!! I came here to get a good look at the cigarette case, im having a tattoo done of it😁
I have always loved that Peter Cushing-esq style coat Roddy wears in this movie.
Two things.
1. Vincent could have lied about the holy water, killing him then and there.
2. Regardless of whether or not, if he lived, they would have all died in that room. So him playing it off was probably the best to get them out of the house.
Mr Vincent . The best fright night host.
Holy water? Hah! I have about 20 litres of it. Accumulated over decades.
And yes. My mom is a nutjob.
All the best to the cast and crew. If you did a remake, we would all be there in line to see it like "Armies of the Night are coming"
Una de las mejores peliculas de vampiros de principio a fin ...la vin de niño hasta hoy asusta ...los actores son increibles ...recuerdo que tube pesadillas con esta cinta
I've watched it 100 times 😂😂
It was and still are such a good movie.
I do love this movie! It’s up there with Lost Boys and the Kolchak vampire movie.
Well. I'm glad that's settled
Lol
I love how casual Jerry is around others.
Roddy Mcdowell's acting was so hammy & cheesey in this film it almost makes thr film seem like a comedy
That's exactly the effect they wanted👍🏻
I love this movie unconditionally
Welcome to Fright Night. For real.
