He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to get in late. You might think he's the perfect neighbor. But before inviting him in for a nightcap, there's something you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red, and straight from the jugular! 

Its Fright Night, a horrific howl starring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerrys deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. 

When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the Great Vampire Killer of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsuckers toothy embrace? If you love being scared, Fright Night will give you the nightmare of your life!
