Fright Night

We're getting started on Horror Movie Month a little early this year. First up is FRIGHT NIGHT - a 1985 genre-defying film starring Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale and Amanda Bearse. It was Tom Holland's directorial debut (he'd go on to direct Child's Play, Amazing Stories, Tales From The Crypt and several Stephen King adaptations).

FRIGHT NIGHT was one of Cristina's favorite horror movies as a kid and even claims she was "obsessed" with it as a teenager (mostly due to Chris Sarandon). Chad wasn't familiar with it at all and assumed it was just another cheesy 80s slasher flick. He was pleasantly surprised to find it to be an interesting combination of horror and satire (which Wes Craven's SCREAM series would go on to perfect).

But how well does FRIGHT NIGHT hold up in 2026? Listen to our show and find out.
