Why So Blu?

So a sequel to the 2011 Fright Night is arriving on Blu-ray this October.  The remake was a film that I actually really enjoyed quite a bit and while that film was a flop at the box office, for whatever reason, a direct-to-Blu-ray release sequel is on its way.  I know I should not be too excited about this, but I do enjoy this universe and am intrigued enough by seeing another iteration of this story play out.  The added fun of Jaime Murray (Dexter, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena) to the mix could make for a decent way to spend 90 minutes.  On October 1st everyone will have the chance to find out for themselves, so read on to learn a bit more about this upcoming release.

By day Gerri Dandridge is a sexy professor, but by night she transforms into a real-life vampire with an unquenchable thirst for human blood. So when a group of high school students travel abroad to study in Romania, they find themselves ensnared in Gerri’s chilling web of lust and terror. Charley and “Evil” Ed must stop Gerri from drinking and bathing in the blood of a “new moon virgin,” which just so happens to be Charley’s ex-girlfriend, Amy. They enlist help from Peter Vincent, the vampire hunting host of a reality show called “Fright Night,” to drive a stake through Gerri’s plan and save Amy from a fate far worse than death.
