FREE ON YOUTUBE Fright Night Part 2

FREE ON YOUTUBE  The best thing about Fright Night is hammer legend Roddy McDowall. He impersonates a washed-up actor who used to appear in vampire movies. We remember that in the first part he complained that the youth of today had no more patience for vampires. Kids just want to see some crazy slashers! Fright Night is obviously intended to correct this development. Because the basic idea of Fright Night movies is that teenager William Ragsdale is convinced that vampires have moved in next door. You don't have to be a detective for that. Vampires perform creepy rituals (right in front of the window) and dispose of sucked corpses in garbage bags. This works because even the vampires can be sure that nobody believes in them anymore. This is also the opinion of the policemen, who prove in the first part that they don't want to be help. Vampirism = pure waste of time. But not for Peter Vincent (McDowall). He knows everything about vampires. How to track them down. And how to kill them. But he also knows everything about how to become a rent debtor and get thrown out of his apartment. That's the starting point of the fright night movies for a vampire pyro-hunt. With intentionally bad special effects, because Fright Night is supposed to look like a greeting from the early 60s. Therefore Peter Vincent sounds like a combination of Peter-Cushing and Vincent-Price. The astonishing: Fright Night Part 2 is not easy to get on DVD. There is a Spanish DVD - but also the English and German version is available for free on YouTube. Accordingly, it also ran badly in the cinema Grotten back then. Which is surprising, because it is not worse than the first part! And isn't a vampire movie that shows bloodsuckers letting off steam on a bowling alley to Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour" automatically a great movie? Not an excellent movie in my opinion, but one that has a lot of fun being unexceptional.
