These two clips for me frame just how beautiful the internet is for nostalgia hungry film junkies from the 80s. Fright Night is a great vampire flick, indeed, and it is interesting to me how much it is influenced by Carpenter’s The Thing when it comes to special effects. In fact, there is a paper to be written about how Carpenter’s The Thing changed effects in terms of horror/sci-fi films even more than Alien.

I’d love to be around for one of those 80s spin fests!

I bought the soundtrack just for the Devo track “Let’s Talk”…and I still break out the vinyl when I spin 80’s nights.
