Jerry gave him a good deal like if you forget about me I’ll forget about you.. I’d be like yes sir! Maybe check out 2 guys I actually love 2! 🌅📹 ✔️🇺🇸 I also love the remake! It’s got its issues but it’s scary and fun!

Putting aside some time to rewatch this one with you guys tonight. I haven't seen this since the late 80s. All I remember from it is Roddy McDowall and one shot of a woman with some serious dental concerns near the end

HHHHHHHOOOOLY SHIT. This is one of my few guilty pleasure movies. I love the cheese, I love the acting, I love the **incredible** FX, I love the story pacing, I love the boobies when I saw this as a kid, I love the nod to the classics, I love the nod to the 80s. I love this movie. I love it. Cant' wait to watch now. Did I mention I love this movie?

Roddy McDowell was a big name. You might have seen him in Planet Of The Apes or Poseidon Adventure, and if you haven't seen those movies someone should choose them for you to watch ASAP

Fright Night was my favorite horror film for a very long time. It was meta before meta was even a term. Vampires were considered ridiculous and passe by the early 80s. In the 80s, Hollywood was taking ridiculous old films like "The Fly" and "The Blob" and remaking them into serious horror films with top notch effects. Fright Night did this same thing but with the vampire more generally and simultaneously honored the Hammer Films movies of the past with the Peter Vincent character. The success of this film helped The Lost Boys two years later and helped fuel a vampire resurgence.

Roddy McDowell was in the original Planet of the Apes franchise playing Caesar and before that Cornelius in the five films and tv series. He was a child actor who starred in How Green was My Valley, Lassie and had legendary film career.

I loved this movie growing up. But, I don't remember it being so BADLY acted and corny. The only exception is Rodney McDowell. I think he's just having a good time in the part.

The other two films you know Rodney McDowell from is the original Planet of the Apes (which I think you've seen) and The Poseidon Adventure (which I know you've seen).

I remember when this movie came out, it was so great, I loved it. It was a campy horror movie with special guest star haha Roddy McDowall. okay it did not say Special Guest Star, but I thought it would be funny. You both should watch "House"(1986)

Chris Sarandon is known more now as Jack the Pumpkin King in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Why He ate fruit, it was Chris idea to eat fruit, since he learn that most real bats eat fruit. He joked that vampire had fruit bat DNA. so he thought it would be fun and a quirky think to have him do.

Roddy McDowall was great in this, you did not mention that one of his biggest roles that he is best known is Cornelius in the original Planet of the Apes series. You also saw him in The Poseidon Adventure>

Wait, JOSH HAS NOT SEEN GREMLINS 2?? :-O I mean, your channel's begging for that one, I think. Especially if you liked Gremlins.

Saw this for the first time about ten years ago. It's of its time, it's a bit of a slow burn, but by the end I'm like "Yeah, this kinda rules". Also, as a Buffy fan, tons of obvious inspiration was taken by this, or maybe they both got it from something earlier?

Glad to see you guys enjoyed it. One of my favorite movies as a kid. You mentioned the documentary and buying it on 4K; if you buy this on blu ray or 4K it includes the "You're So Cool, Brewster!" documentary.

One of my favorite parts: showing the vampire eat apples. Why not? They need blood to survive, but why couldn't they enjoy eating an apple for the taste? Least favorite part: Peter Vincent getting instant faith to ward off Jerry Dandridge with a cross. Evil Ed being not destroyed at the end: Peter Vincent took the stake out of his heart. That's also part of the lore - doing that brought him back "to life". As for the Billy Cole character: my take is he was a zombie of some kind.

Are the binoculars really necessary? The houses are like 20 feet apart. :) I loved this movie growing up, and it is still one of the best movie posters/video covers ever.

I stumbled across this one on late night TV as a kid and felt like it was made just for me.

Kudos for the Migos reference, Josh…didn’t know you had it in you.

Thanks for watching guys, gives me another excuse to watch it. So lets tackle the whole Jerry - Amy, old -- young thing. I think we have to give a pass to Jerry. The ole "half plus 7 year" rule cannot really work if you are 300 years old. I mean finding a hot woman that is 157 years old ................... not easy.

I'm happy you guys didn't realize Chris Sarandon was in the DS9 episode you hate, I wondered if it might have colored your view of the movie, but maybe not. But youre right he's great here! He seems sleazy but also genuinely dangerous. Amy was played by Amanda Bearse, who played Marcy D'Arcy on "Married... with Children" a couple years after this Monster Squad is pretty good, it's definitely kid-oriented but not kiddy or dumbed down, in sort of the same way The Goonies was.

Yes! Bare with me: this is one of my top 3 favorite vampire films, as hokey and predictable as it can get. I love the way Chris Sarandon's vampire is portrayed and handled in this movie. Looking forward to watching it later today with you guys.

Go with me, back in time, to 1985. I was 13 and could go see "R" rated movies in theaters alone. Saw many because my parents would drop me off, I'd pay for 1 film and sneak into the others after I was in the door. Unfortunately I missed this one. Lol But I rented it many times, before copying it, so I could watch it over and over. At this time, there were less than 100 films worth watching over and over. So, when he arrived on DS9, it was easy to enjoy it just to see Chris Sarandon again. Unfortunately, you guys saw the DS9 episode first.. but yeah, probably wouldn't change your opinion. Lol Pre-90s vampires were so cool Brewster.
