Double Feature: Fright Night (1985) & Fright Night (2011)
If you’ve got some extra spare time over an upcoming weekend, you should absolutely double feature 1985’s Fright Night and the 2011 remake starring Colin Farrell. In both films, a teenager believes his new next-door neighbor is a vampire and turns to an actor who played a vampire hunter to help him oust the bastard. The original is more campy and absurd thanks to its reliance on practical effects and the overall ‘80s-ness of it all, but the second has both Farrell and the late Anton Yelchin, so it’s worth a watch. Try them back-to-back and see which one is your fave. — AM
