I recall really liking this film as a kid, but I think maybe I read the novelization more than the film because so many scenes and plot points so far are not ones I recall. Well except Chris Sarandon being almost David Bowie levels of interesting. #monsterdon
make Charlie into a smoothie
too soon???
#Monsterdon
Maybe instead of Roddy McDowall, Charley should try Cary Elwes #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon
vamp gonna fuck with Charlie every night by just moving his shit around slightly
#monsterdon
@miru IMO Jerry Dandridge didn't drain Charlie's mom b/c he saw she was wearing a sleeping mask and it cracked him up so he let her live. #Monsterdon #frightnight1985
"he's right behind me, isn't he?"
This 80s synthesizer music and Chris Sarandonβs sexy vampire looks, this shaped an entire generation #monsterdon
Vampire whistling "Strangers in the Night" as he stalks around Charley's house. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
I don't remember pants being this tight in the 80's
@Lazarou lolwat that's a new one on me
coming out of the closet now
Strangers in the night.....
Exchanging fluids
I LOVE a good mirror shot though. *chef kiss*
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
Vampire in the bedroom is totally 80s synth porn music.
he should be eating garlic when charlie walks in
OMG! I just realized where Iβve seen the vampire before!
Heβs Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride!
The movie's primary motif reminds me of another movie, but I can't place it. THEY LIVE, maybe?
the jewel encrusting on the crucifix makes it go faster #monsterdon
I wasn't sure I'd ever seen this movie, outside of some clips, and yeah clearly I haven't seen this movie. I think I would have remembered not liking the main character.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
@wohali@timeloop.cafe Because they didn't have quite enough budget for the foley artists, I guess?
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
Only a vampire could make such a suggestive threat!
Hey, that cocktail held by visiting "Jerry" was a Bloody Mary!
this better be mice iceskating
#Monsterdon
Don't worry, if you run into him just ask him his favorite strategies for starting a war between Florin and Guilder, he'll talk all night
Much of the film's $9.5 million budget was spent on special effects (it was the first vampire film to spend $1 million on special effects).
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonTrivia #FrightNight1985
Do I still think a man in suspenders is super hot because of Marty McFly? Yes, obviously
Show me some cute bats already
@yatsu It is kind of more entertaining than a lot of #Monsterdon movies if not actually good.
Imagine the business opportunities for Vampiric roof repair. No need for ladders! Will complete work while you sleep!
Payable in multiple forms!
......wait, maybe not that last one.
aw heck, raccoons! #monsterdon
hatrack stairwells went out of fashion about the same time as shoulder pads
Maybe this party jewlery will be so tacky, it will make him leave!
#Monsterdon
@yatsu Fuck no! We wore Izods and turned the collars up.
"We don't talk about Charlie"
Only a vampire could cross his legs at the ankle like that!
We all know vampires can't break glass. Let's nail down the window.
@jonny Wouldn't it be funny if the vampire was actually his father IRL or something?
Yeah, comedy like this just gives me contact embarrassment. #Monsterdon
Base riff!
#Monsterdon
Jerry Dandridge is the epitome of 80s cool.
Very white town and a Black lieutenant in the 1980s. Interesting. #monsterdon
That sure didn't take long...
Wait, they said you can't invite him IN, they didn't say anything about inviting him OVER! I think we found our loophole!
#Monsterdon
@flowerpot Ed's got his reasons. Charlie dropped his friend Eddie when other kids started calling him Evil Ed and he started calling him that too, and he started dating a girl (Amy) instead of watching Fright Night with him. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
this movie is very self aware of vampire mythology and loves to use it #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon
I bet he spends that eight bucks on glue!
Like Ray Parker Jr said: βBustinβ makes me feel goodβ
- You, evil creature, what are you going to do
- Your mom
Well, he's been invited in. There's your problem.
Of COURSE he's drinking a Bloody Mary. #Monsterdon #FrightNight
So this vampire can eat / drink? #monsterdon
@moira I'm constantly amused at how polarizing characters in these movies are.
Evil? Evil and the main character have annoying voice. I wanna trip both of them. Is it wrong to be rooting for the vampire? He's so charming.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
Yeah, Prince Humperdink is quite a guy. #Monsterdon
With a little more genre sense Charlie could have known he was going to meet the vampire
Charley: "Oh no, he's hot"
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
Vampire drinking a bloody Mary, love it.
I'm sure Mr Giles in the school library would have told him that information for free.
Welp, so much for not inviting him in...π
#Monsterdon
Sarandon gets all the fuck music.
He's watched all those Fright Night Tv shows and didn't pick up on basic vampire lore? #Monsterdon
did high schoolers wear button downs in the 80s? did they tuck them in??? this kid is the real monster here.
@jonny back when everyone smoked cigarettes around you from birth on
Wow Charlie, good thing a neighborhood expert lives so close
am i really the only person who likes bizarre gremlin friend?
The cop probably only believed the kid's initial tip because he looks about 30.
A vampire can't enter your house without getting permission from the rightful owner first.
Really? He actually think that means he's safe? Really? He's that stupid???
DAMMIT MOM! #Monsterdon #FrightNight
Evil's channelling his inner Jack Palance.
Oh I also have a next door neighbor who rhymes with sandwich.
Is his "evil" buddy ever not high? Maybe you should find someone else to help you Charlie #Monsterdon
Dear god Mother your horniness is gonna get us all fucking KILLED!
He is like the next door psychopath kid in Toy Story #monsterdon #frightnight1985
what is that box thing on Evil Ed's desk? that's not an aquarium, is it?
Why does Evil have a random gold cross hanging out on his shelf?
This decade did have some outstanding digital LCD watches. #Monsterdon
The Renfield of this movie reminds me of the goofy best friend of an old romcom.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
@pineheap It's a nice touch in the sequel that the car is finished.
And white. I would have gone for the red, but it looks good! #Monsterdon
Is that a white light hologram? It doesn't render very well on camera does it
Evil Ed is unhinged. I wouldn't trust anything he says.
I hope my human servants are just as sassy as this dude!
I hope Evil Ed gets killed first
@pineheap Cars looking this kind of bad because they're being patched together by amateurs with bondo was definitely a thing
Tsk, tsk! Not listening to the youth is bad form. #monsterdon
8 whole dollars #monsterdon
"Don't call me Evil anymore! Call me ... Vicious."
Is Ed just an example of bad acting, or is he high as a kite?
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
Evil Ed really has some mood swings, doesnβt he?
Eight bucks is a reasonable price.
I guess that's an interesting turn of events. The black police officer doesn't believe the white kid from the suburbs.
#monsterdon
People pay ridiculous amounts of money for vintage Casios these days. Lord knows why.
The women in his life don't believe him! Of course he'll turn out to be right because it's that kind of movie. #monsterdon
shit run Charlie the rip off Jaws plod music has started. Can't you hear the bass???
#Monsterdon
4:23? Oh NO!!!
Evil's vampire hologram steals this scene
