Life's been pretty swell for Charley Brewster in the three years since the
original FRIGHT NIGHT. He's in college, he's still friends with Peter Vincent,
he's got a cool PREDATOR poster, he's still got that cool 80's hair and best of
all his new girlfriend is a gigantic improvement over that diseased sea
donkey he was banging in the first movie. Yuck! Now for the bad news: the
vampires are back and even worse is it's the sister of the dude he killed in
part 1. Yikes!Good sequel. I enjoyed it, but it lacks that certain something to make it an 80's vampire classic like the original or THE LOST BOYS. The wall climbing werewolf and the roller skating vampire did help though.
Fair amount of blood and ooze, hot girlfriend who never got even close to naked, not as much Roddy McDowall screen time as I had hoped for, split-second topless scene, the vampire gang was not scary at all, the "sexy" female vampire was in no way attractive, great 80's clothes. I think my biggest issue with FN2 is how obsessed Charley was with the vampire. I know it was vampire lust magik, but goddamn! His girlfriend was so much hotter than the lame-looking vampire.
Part 1 - Fright Night (1985)
