Film: Fright Night & Night of the Creeps (Double Feature)

FRIGHT NIGHT
When Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) discovers that his new next door neighbor is a vampire (a terrific, sexy Chris Sarandon), he’ll have to convince a washed-up tv host (Roddy McDowall) to help put a stake through the bloodsucker’s heart. Perfectly balanced between humor and horror, Tom Holland’s Fright Night proves there are some very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.

“McDowall’s performance is wickedly funny, and he must have enjoyed it, chewing the scenery on his horror-movie program and then chewing real scenery down in the vampire’s basement.” – Roger Ebert

NIGHT OF THE CREEPS
Thrill me. Writer-director Fred Dekker cleverly mixes horror & humor in his power-packed blast of pure entertainment, swiftly jumping from axe-wielding maniacs & fraternity pranks to sci-fi space slugs, exploding heads, zombie mayhem, flamethrower-wielding sorority sisters and beyond. Now a clean-cut college kid (Jason Lively) will have to team with a hardboiled cop (genre icon Tom Atkins) if anyone’s going to make it out alive.
