Peter Vincent's name is a dedication to two horror icons: Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. Peter Cushing, best known as Grand Moff Tarkin from Star Wars, played a vampire hunter in many British horror movies of the 60s and 70s. Vincent Price was a legend of American horror cinema, from his Edgar Allen Poe adaptations with Roger Corman to rapping on Michael Jackson's Thriller. He was also a huge art collector and humanitarian. One of my favorite actors.

The fruit thing was kind of an "ad lib" character thing that Sarandon did. He felt that Jerry had fruit bat DNA in him, through the relationship between vampires and bats, and that's why he loved fruit so much. Honestly a pretty nifty little touch.

Ashleigh, the garlic thing can be a few things as Vampire lore is not set in stone. 1. Moms used to hang garlic around their daughter's windows to keep boys away during the night. This leans into the sexuality of Vampires. 2. Garlic is a known purifier of blood. I guess this could extend to purifying of evil in the blood as well.

[@domidium]

Or, if you want to get creative with their "biology", the intense odor could just be too much for their overly sensitive sense of smell.

[@NevTheDeranged]

Some supernatural creatures suffer from a form of arithmomania, and are compelled to count objects like garlic cloves or pins if you cast them onto the ground in their path, both identifying them as "monsters" and giving you time to escape.

Garlic supposedly works as an antiseptic, too.

I got to meet Chris Sarandon for a photo op, with some friends. He was the most pleasant guy and we had a blast. Granted, we were part of the first set of people in the morning, but he was so happy to meet all of his fans. We were having such a fun chat that his handlers had to pull him back cause he started to walk out of the photo area with us. It was a stark contrast to the one we had with Billy Dee Williams that day. He could've just been old and extra tired that day.

[@angelohernandez6060]

That seems to be the thing in Hollywood entertainers, right? The actors that play villians are usually the sweetest most humble people while the ones that play the likable characters are usually jerks. Radar and Frank Burns are prime examples. In real life Gary Burgoff (Radar) was aloof, paranoid and standoffish and didn't get along with the cast and he played the character everyone loved. Larry Linville (Frank Burns) played the a-hole in the show but was the greatest sweetest guy in real life. I guess actors don't feel like they're acting unless their going against type.

[@rottsylvania]

You sound crazy, but that's why we love you, Ashleigh. BTW: 1.) It wasn't real holy water. Peter told Jerry in their phone call that it would be just tap water. Remember, Jerry said he was a born again Christian and didn't want to do anything blasphemous, so Peter assured him it wouldn't be real. 2.) Amy looked like the reincarnation of someone Jerry loved a couple of hundred years ago, so that's why he liked her. 3.) Originally Evil Ed was going to be in the sequel , but they couldn't get the actor back. So they redid the plot to revolve around Jerry's sister showing up for revenge. BUT, there was a series of Fright Night graphic novels that did have Evil Ed in them. 4.)The caretaker, wasn't a vampire, but he was more like a Reinfield character that was given some of the vampire's powers to help him protect Jerry. 5.)I always thought that Ed survived because Peter Vincent pulled out the stake when he should have left it in. 6.)Yep, in some legends, vampires could turn into wolves. 7.)And, finally, the bit of fun trivia. That final skeleton prop that was used when Jerry was burning, was actually a left over prop from "Ghostbusters". It wasn't used in the final film of "Ghostbusters" because it was deemed to be too scary for that type of movie. So it was put in storage until something else came along. I think it was supposed to be the final form of the librarian. Yes, I am a font of worthless trivia, and yes, I have issues.

[@w1975b]

Doesn't make sense for Evil Ed to survive as a vampire since the vampire who bit him was destroyed. Amy turned back to human, Evil Ed would have also. Unless there's a "clause" about feeding, I can't remember. Amy didn't feed so she became human again, but Evil Ed had fed so he could not become human?

[@aspilurch]

They never explain the vampire's day-walking servant. The tradition doesn't really have such creatures but the modern stories have servants of various abilities. A lot of them are called Renfields after the character who was mentally enthralled in Stoker's work. They are like humans with borrowed powers or enchanted beings. This one could have been another supernatural creature or a human thrall with enchantments placed on him. There's also a possibility that he was a voluntary servant and got powers by staying with the vampire. Other things from Wallachian folklore that he might have been: Moroi - offspring of a vampire and a human who can walk by day Dhampir - another kind of offspring of a human and vampire Zmeu - a monster who can take human form and work with or for a powerful being. Sort of an ogre, or sometimes a dragon. Strigoi Vii - humans with special powers. Sânziene - fae folk who aren't usually in league with darkness but might get pulled in. Wallachia being the source of Dracula. There's probably a longer list from the Balkans and Eastern Europe of potential monsters. I think the writers might simply have made him up to fill the role without resorting to any specific folklore.

This is just a goofy, fun classic. "You sound crazy "

[@albertjimeno807]

You’re full of shit. The final act is very scary.

[@albertjimeno807]

SHUT UP. The last act is very scary PERIOD.

[@centurycountess4949]

I just realized something. Amy's demonic vampire form is literally the realistic version of a bratz doll smile

[@robertstuart480]

In old 'Dracula'/vampire movie lore, vampires can turn into bats and wolves.

[@strangebiped]

I always Loved The Wolves for their STEALTH & THAT 'SILENT QUIET LOOK' they give US as they just STAND COMPLETELY STILL sizing us up for the next MOVE, like a GRANDMASTER CHESS PLAYER! "MUCH SCARIER THAN A Flying Bat"!! I get "GOOSE-BUMPS/CHILLS" on my arms EVERY TIME & I realize I stop Breathing for a few seconds! That's So Scary!

[@angelohernandez6060]

And don't forget Mist and rats!

[@Blue_Eyed_Chippewa]

It's so funny to me how Ashley was taken aback at the vampire pursuing an underage girl. Like, he hasn't been killing people the entire movie 😂.

[@pingidjit]

11:17 "I like Jerry. I like lookin' at Jerry a lot." AHAHAHAHAHA never change Ashleigh. I adore ya. You sound crazy in the best ways XD

[@sameechaos1]

Silver Bullet is good to watch as well, if you haven't already.

[@GrumpySanta76]

You sound crazy!... But don't we all

[@kalphil4385]

She's in high school and he's a hundred years old? Literally the story of Twilight.

[@barbaraswinford6677]

I normally don't suggest remakes, but the Fright Night remake is totally awesome. Enough changes to almost call it a reboot. Love watching your young reactions to movies I love

[@janecrow1122]

I love Christopher Mintz-Plasse (esp in Role Models). Plus,a cameo by Sarandon. Peace, all 💕

[@geody3001]

Maternal valium distribution was actually astoundingly common in 1985.

[@dereksteed2030]

It's one of my favorite vampire flicks ever. Skip the sequel, though.

[@michaelallen3894]

Saw this in the theater and loved it. One of my favorite movies.

[@wanderless_wanderings]

You sound crazy when you don't recognize Chris Sarandon from The Princess Bride!

[@JayClick-bu8qz]

He was in Child's Play, too. Susan Sarandons first husband

[@scottmcnulty70]

Known vampire shapes: Bats, wolves, mist. Sometimes piles of rats from one vampire.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

"OMG is that a painting of ME!?" 😂 Girl, you sound crazy!

[@freyasgrl]

As a teen, this was one of my favorite movies. DAMN...I miss the 80's.

[@codiehaleyt]

"You sound crazy!" Agreed wholeheartedly about practical effects. There's so many older movies I go back to and am just blown away by what they were able to accomplish. Whereas with CGI, you just don't really get that "wow" factor, even when it's done well. There's just something about makeup and props and stuff that hits different--especially when it comes to horror.

[@Tom-Mac1975]

This was the first film where I saw Roddy McDowall's face. I knew his voice and eyes but could not understand where I knew him from but could not recognize his face. About three quarters through the film, it hit me. LoL

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

Fun Fact : The guy who played the head vampire (Chris Sarandon) was the voice of Jack Skellington on The Nightmare Before Christmas 9:44 Why hasn't he fallen head over heels for her?! She dresses like Mario ! 9:57 Those white areas are filler, where it's been rusted and repaired but yeah, he probably couldn't afford the paint job after 12:13 Calm down Goofy ! Yodel-Ay-HeeHooo ! 25:56 I'll give you a clue, it rhymes with dinger

[@andreadeamon6419]

Good ol bondo for the car. Looks like a lot was used! Car must've seen a lot of salt from the roads!

[@ozprime4540]

TBH, I think most people listening to Charlie’s story would be thinking “You sound crazy.” 😂

[@squirethemouse3457]

You sound crazy

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa16534]

Ashleigh: "I didn't realize vampires liked fruit." Me: "He IS a fruit." lol

[@koricaedo]

Chris Sarandon was one of my first crushes, mainly because of this movie. The guy who turned into a skeleton was just a ghoul and I maybe thinking of VtM rules but I think the wooden stake just paralyzes them. It's funny you mentioned the age gap because it's the same as Twilight xD.

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

A ghoul, exactly.

[@brownbutterb-roll921]

“You sound crazy” Another Halloween must watch for me. You’re so right Ashleigh…practical effects are king.Vampire Evil still freaks me out!😩

[@mannypop33]

I was told by my girlfriend, "You sound crazy for liking this movie." I grew up watching this and love it so I don't care what she thinks.

[@BenRollinsActor]

No matter what, it always cheers me up to see that you have a new video out. Thanks for all you do.
