Why So Blu?

The Original Classic FRIGHT NIGHT Sinks It’s Teeth Into A 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Release October 4th!

There’s no denying the ultimate power of 1985’s Fright Night! It made vampires cool again. It was a kind of meta-vampire movie like Scream was a decade later for slasher films. A love letter to the likes of Peter Cushing/Vincent Price/Christopher Lee and Hammer horror films. And at the end of the day, one of the finest teen movies of the 1980s. “You’re so cool, Brewster!” And after years of short windowed, limited supply releases on Blu-ray, Sony finally realized there was  big market for this flick, so its to no surprise that they will be the ones bringing it to 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray this October with all new bonus materials as well. October 4th is the date, no pre-order links are up yet, but definitely make sure you lock yourself in as they are of the best at the restoration game and Fright Night will look better than it ever has before!

4K ULTRA HD™ WITH OVER 14 HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

AVAILABLE AS A LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK
OCTOBER 4TH

Meet Jerry Dandrige. He’s sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he’s the perfect neighbor. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap, there’s just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red, and straight from the jugular! It’s FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howl starring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerry’s deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) knows Jerry’s bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can’t get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the “Great Vampire Killer” of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsucker’s toothy embrace? If you love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT…will give you the nightmare of your life.
