Fright Night 1985 Filming Locations - Then & Now

[@mindlink1811]

Fright Night debuted 36 years ago and it is as classic and entertaining in 2021 as it was in 1985. RIP the great Roddy McDowell.

[@jer479]

I remembered when it first opened at the movies and drive in wow that was 36 years ago in the classic 1980s I'm a 80s kid I miss the classic 1980s

[@tashvadj4914]

Yes yes yes Roddy was great!

Fright Night is one of those iconic movies that you never forget and will watch again . Vampire movies from the the 1980 are the best.

[@Balthorium]

I remember rewinding the part where he stabs the werewolf evil kid with the bannister and it yelps in this way I found incredibly hilarious. It just sounds so lame for a werewolf it was ridiculous. The part with the fang teeth on that lady was really scary looking.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Totally agree

[@Sammy-mp9xn]

@Balthorium was actually the other way around for me. All those fangs in her mouth was hilarious.

[@AerrinT80]

AGREED! I usually watch Fright Night 1 &2 on rainy Saturday afternoons 😉

[@heathertaff]

I was 10 when this movie came out, and my parents took me to see it in the theater. I think Chris Sarandon kick-started puberty for me.

[@jillt1071]

Girl, yes! Me too! I was 10 and thought he was smokin!

[@vanessaowen8447]

Lmao!!

I was 11 when it came out. I didn't get to see it until it was out on video though. Boo.

I was an extra in a movie called “Road Raiders” in 1989. Actor Stephen Geoffreys, who played “Evil Ed” in “Fright Night” was also in this movie and I would occassionally see him during breaks between scenes.

[@ThatNateGuyOnYouTube]

Dude you are killing it man, I have to come back and watch this when I get time, but Fright Night is THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're so cool Brewster!!

I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie on a vhs rental, it really gripped me as a kid and now in my 30s watching that movie again I can see the actors were just kids with such baby faces. Such a classic and cool movie. I would have loved to see that movie in the cinema for the first time in 85 when it was new.

[@marvinshenk]

Fright Night has an awesome soundtrack.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

I know right! I was so excited when I found the Fright Night Soundtrack CD on EBay for 25.00,now some our less expensive on EBay now.Sadly the Brad Fedel Score is very expensive.You got good taste in music!

[@ericabaros6165]

Yep especially the dance scene the two main songs they danced to

[@stevendancer2800]

I got it it’s awesome

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

I just looked up that second song last night to listen to it. GREAT GREAT tune! It's called Give it up by Evelyn "Champagne" King

[@Alecsweet3057]

Hahaha@ 2:52 I never noticed it until now when Peter Vincent says he's the vampire killer,... the stake is backwards in his hand.. hahahahaha!! Cool

I also saw it back in the day as part of a triple horror feature for $3.25 at the Capitol Theater in Philadelphia. I was around 14 years old. Great movies, good times.

I met the entire cast (except for Peter Vincent character)years ago at an event for a poster signing so this is one of my favorites from back in the day.Good job finding more of these locations.👍🏻

[@stephenwest606]

One of my favourite vampire movies. Great cast with Chris Sarandon absolutely smashing it as the debonair Jerry. Thanks for the obvious effort you put in and some great trivia you added.

[@twiggy6591]

Oh my the memories! I never got to rent this film but seeing the art work on the cover brings back so much nostalgia of me walking through the rental store on Friday nights.

[@AerrinT80]

You’re SO RIGHT about Fright Night and Near Dark being good films, I could watch those movies over and over again! I have the soundtrack for Near Dark, I gotta say, Tangerine Dream did such a marvelous job! 🧛🏽‍♀️ This is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@coffeefan841]

It's great how you go from Kurt Cobain's house to filming locations. Fright Night was a staple of cable during the 80's. I can't tell you how many times I watched it.

[@camrondirossi3249]

I hated the remake!!

[@coffeefan841]

@@camrondirossi3249 I liked the remake for the cast, but it couldn't hold up to the original. Chris did get a cameo in it, so that was cool.

[@Psychomania_explores]

Love this! Fright night (along with the Lost boys) is one of my all time favourite films, although I always chuckle at Jerry Dandrige’s choice of wearing sensible knitwear in a night club 😄

[@dinoballiviero1607]

Huge Fright Night fan here. This was very well done. I really appreciate you taking the time to show us the filming locations. I would have never known otherwise.

[@kellyhenderson9972]

IMDb doesn’t really give you any info

[@helloWorld2952]

Fascinating! One of my all time favorite childhood movies. I still watch it today.. Thanks for contributing this. It's always so interesting to see the original filming locations especially so many years later.

[@bailey-k6b]

This was awesome! Thank you so much! You did great with what you had to work with. I love this movie. First saw it in gr 6, back in the mid 80's, my neighbour had it on VHS, he was a year older and was allowed to rent the cool movies. I also watched The Warriors at his place and other movies he had taped on VHS tapes, like The Hitcher.. what a classic that was as well. it's my all-time favourite Halloween movie, along with Christine. Keep up the great work!!

[@BostonJoeWoods]

Willie Wonka, poltergeist, fright night... Looking forward to seeing other videos... Keep them coming... Awesome job also...

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Absolutely love this film..Definitely a film I can watch again and again, thanks, Go evil 🧛🏻‍♀️

[@PlanetVampire]

Stumbling across this video made my day! Absolutely my favorite vampire film, memorized the entire movie script over a summer in the late 80's, watching it over and over.

[@georgesparks7833]

what a fantastic job you did. editing, timing and energy that is put into this video. thanks soooo much

[@MrAug80]

Wow this is fascinating! Thanks soo much for filming this! I loved this film as a kid. First watched it on tv as an 11 year old way back in February 1992.

[@CebastyanB]

I absolutely love this! All of it. The music, the art, and the clever classic horror movie references! My son and I found ourselves sitting for what must have been 10m entranced and expecting a movie to begin. We wanted the characters to come alive, the three who were walking down that terrifying street of horror. U should consider making this a read through like a book or short film. Honestly, I think it's got potential to be a feature length film. Bravo. Love it

[@leewightman8619]

Fright night was one of my favourite movies as a kid

[@ACNC12]

My favorite commentary is when you’re talking about the “weird seductive dance”, lol! That scene always gave me second hand embarrassment, but it’s so great at the same time! Fright Night is one of my favorite vampire movies, and Chris Sarandon is the epitome of a perfect vampire, worldly, handsome, sexy... I’ve met him a handful of times! And I’m glad he made a cameo in the remake!

[@shanedenny5234]

Great video. I was 13 when Fright Night hit theaters. So it became an instant classic for me as I had already become a horror fan well before my teens.

[@gorefreak1970rb]

My dad took me to the Drive-In when this came out. Still holds up.

Very cool. Still hoping you tour filming locations for the original Carrie and stop by Morningside Elementary in San Fernando which was the front of Bates High School. Filming took place there when I was in elementary school, and we got to sit on the grass and watch instead of being in class.

Fright Night, especially the first part is one of the best vampire movies for me. I like the romance and the naturalness of the actors and especially the songs. Especially the scene on the dance floor I liked very much. The 80's just made wonderful movies. I think it's really great that you have shown these places where was shot and you could make a different picture. I was pleased to have discovered the video. Fright Night forever.

So fun and interesting. I love you guys' videos! That concrete column under the bridge wasn't faced with wood, though. What you're seeing in the 1985 movie are the impressions of the wooden blanks used to originally set the concrete - the same impressions you can see today. They're just more distinct, because less weathered, in the movie.
