Fright Night

Product Information

Although an instrumental version of Brad Fiedel's " Come to Me" was prominently featured throughout the movie, the version on the album includes words sung by Fiedel. Instrumental versions were later issued on the CD with Fiedel's score (see below) and an alternate version by Deborah Holland, which includes an additional verse, is featured during the end credits of Fright Night Part 2.

Although the Fright Night album has been out of print for decades, several songs have surfaced on other albums, both in CD and digital mp3 format. Once his cast was in place, Holland got input from each of the actors and made numerous revisions to the script. Some were slight and others were major – such as the ending, which originally featured Peter Vincent transforming into a vampire as he returned to host Fright Night. [18] The September 6, 1984, draft of the screenplay, which is circulating online, [4] is very close to the final cut of the film, but a few more changes were still to come.

A remake of Tom Holland's 1985 film, the film's screenplay was adapted by Marti Noxon. It stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and David Tennant. The plot follows a teenaged boy who discovers that his neighbor is actually a vampire, which culminates in a battle between the two. The film held its world premiere at The O2 in London on August 14, 2011. It was released in the United States by Touchstone Pictures on August 19, 2011. [7] Champlin, Charles (March 16, 1985).

Chris Sarandon, who portrayed Jerry in the original film, makes a cameo appearance as a motorist killed by the vampire (his character is credited as "Jay Dee", after the initials of his original character). The Peter Vincent character was named after horror icons Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, and Holland specifically wrote the part for Price, [5] [8] but at this point in his career, Price had been so badly typecast that he had stopped accepting roles in horror movies. [11] Guy McElwaine, then the head of Columbia Pictures, suggested Roddy McDowall for the part. [12] McDowall had already starred in the Holland-penned film Class of 1984, so Holland was immediately receptive to the suggestion. "He understood the part", commented Holland, "and he also understood what he could do with it, and he really wanted it!" [7] McDowall was particularly interested in the genesis of the character. "In the film, I perform as being in my late 20s or early 30s in the film clips of my old movies-all the way up to my 60s, when I'm the washed-up has-been", McDowall adding that the role interested him because, "I'd never played anything that old." [13] Holland and McDowall built a lasting friendship, and McDowall eventually invited Holland to a dinner party where he introduced him to Vincent Price, who was flattered that the part was an homage to him and commented that the film "was wonderful and he thought Roddy did a wonderful job."

In 2016, the album was re-released on vinyl in a variety of limited editions by Night Fever Records. This version includes a different mix of " Armies of the Night." Finke, Nikki (August 21, 2011).

On February 12, 2019, Sony Pictures themselves re-released the film again on Blu-ray containing a new 4K remaster, which also included the remixed 5.1 audio and the original stereo mix. While it does exclude the isolated score, the booklet, and a few other special features, it also adds a few new special features not available on either of the Twilight Time releases. [40] The makeup for Evil Ed's wolf transformation took 18 hours. [21] While he had the wolf head on, the crew began pouring what they thought was methylcellulose into his mouth to create the illusion of saliva, but when Geoffreys began to complain about the taste, Mark Bryan Wilson realized they had been using prosthetic adhesive, which was gluing his mouth shut. [21]A bootleg of Brad Fiedel's score for the film first surfaced in Japan in 2000. [28] In 2011, Intrada Records officially issued the score on CD. [28] [29] Since some of the master tapes had gone missing, some of the music was transferred from lower-quality tapes. [30] The limited-edition 2011 Twilight Time Blu-ray also included the complete isolated score. [28] a b c d e f g h i j k "Fright Night Reunion Q&A Panel from Days of the Dead". youtube.com.

On January 20, 2015, Twilight Time re-released the film on Blu-ray as a 30th-Anniversary Edition, limited to 5,000 copies. The Blu-ray has gone out of print and has been a sought-after collector's item. [39] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three stars out of four and wrote, " Fright Night is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished". [33] Variety praised Sarandon's performance, writing that he "is terrific as the vampire, quite affable and debonair until his fingernails start to grow and his eyes get that glow". [34] Colin Greenland gave a negative review for White Dwarf #75, stating "We may be justified in suspecting that a film which has such contempt for its characters has contempt for its audience, too."
