Fright Night..........

Fright Night

Fright Night....just so happen to be watching this right now

newb 04-10-2013 01:06 PM

Near Dark was a very good movie but like V said...Fright Night was a fun ride. And it stills hold up pretty good with age....cept maybe for the cheesy 80s dance club scene

Fright Night gets my vote

P.S. The reason it took me so long to publish the results was because of school work and because I have (temporarily) moved out of horror movies and back in to Star Trek. Hopefully, I should still be able to keep on top of this thread, despite my (temporary) interest change.

Really unfortunate news.

That's the best part :D

Seriously...3 great songs in once scene.

Ian Hunter's "Good Man In A Bad Time"
Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Give It Up"
Autograph's "You Can't Hide (From The Beast Inside)"

Especially love Ian Hunter & Autograph. Ian wrote some great songs including Great White's biggest hit, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Cleveland Rocks" made famous thanks to the Drew Carey Show.

Anyway, yeah my vote is for Fright Night of course.

Straker 04-10-2013 02:35 PM

Fright Night is one of my favourite vampire movies and a brilliant tongue in cheek horror flick. Tom Holland did a great job of delivering a legitimate horror while still spoofing the genre.... Even to the point where he is using the Peter Vincent character to take a swipe at the over saturation of by the numbers slasher flicks around at the time. Great directing that actually provides a ton of atmosphere and some quality special effects. Totally adore it.

That said, since it's already wrapped up the win, I'm voting for Fright Night 2, for other reasons....

It appears we have a winner! Here were the results:

Fright Night: 11 (V, natedog722, roshiq, Rela1024, newb, realdealblues, horrorfangirl66, The Villain, Hound From Hell, Kandarian Demon, and bamahorrorfan87)

Near Dark: 1 (Anthropophagus)

Fright Night II: 2 (Straker and MichaelMyers)

Thus, Fright Night is clearly the winner!

I have never seen either Fright Night II or Near Dark. I have heard that they were really good, but have never seen them personally. Consequently, I would have voted for Fright Night. This film was really good all around. I too especially liked how the film mocked slashers in Golden Age of that genre.

The Monster Squad

A nostalgic classic for me.

Fulg HoarAR 04-16-2013 12:38 AM

The Monster Squad.... ditto on the nostalgia

the Lost Boys

metternich1815 04-19-2013 03:45 PM

It appears we have a winner! Here were the results:

The Hunger: 2 (ntillemans and Sculpt)

The Lost Boys: 8 (realdealblues, The Villain, Rela1024, bamahorrorfan87, horrorfangirl66, roshiq, Anthropophagus, and knife_fight)

The Monster Squad: 4 (MichaelMyers, V, fortunato, and Fulg Hoar AR)

Thus, The Lost Boys is clearly the winner!

I have honestly not seen any of these films, but if I had to choose, I would choose The Lost Boys.

Again, I am sorry it has taken so long. I have had a great deal of school work and am extremely deep in my interest of Star Trek, at the same time.

Ah, tough one.

I'm going with Return of the Living Dead because it don't get much more 80s than that.

Return of the Living Dead. As much as I love Zombi 2, Return is just so much more fun, and I've watched it about a million times.
