25 Best Vampire Movies Ever Made
15. Fright Night (1985)
Although the 2011 remake starring Colin Farrell as the vampire next door is an enjoyable vampire film in its own right, Tom Holland’s 1985 original is arguably the better film thanks to its impressive practical effects and outrageously 80s aesthetic.
When teenage horror fan Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) discovers that his mysterious new neighbour Jerry (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire responsible for two grizzly murders, it’s up to him and his television icon Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowell) to eliminate the vampire before sunrise to put an end to the curse that’s claimed Charley’s friends.
A film that aimed at bringing the Hammer Horror movies Holland enjoyed watching in his youth to the modern era, Fright Night is the beloved cult film that’s just as funny as it is gruesome, making for the perfect treat for any horror fan.
