TUDW EP 38 – Fright Night (1985)
On this episode I’m joined by the fantastic Gidgit VonLaRue (@GidgitVonLaRue) from the brilliant Retro Cinema Podcast (http://theretrocinema.com).
Teenage Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) is a horror-film junkie, so it's no surprise that, when a reclusive new neighbor named Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) moves next-door, Brewster becomes convinced he is a vampire. It's also no surprise when nobody believes him. However, after strange events begin to occur, Charlie has no choice but to turn to the only person who could possibly help: washed-up television vampire killer Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall).
