The 1980s were totally rad for a lot of reasons (heavy metal ruled, the two Coreys, slasher horror dominated, being PC wasn’t a thing, people actually spoke on the phone, and many more reasons). The decade also sucked for a lot of reasons (mullets, neon everything, parachute pants, Jheri curl, Cosby sweaters… ). I know my brief lists here suck and are far from inclusive, but that’s what I can come up with on a lazy Sunday.
Tom Holland’s 1985 classic, Fright Night, obviously falls into the former category of radness, but it also sucked, if you get my meaning. Fright Night was also very cool back in the day, and it’s since gone on to achieve iconic cult status as one of the best horror films on record. The thing had everything you could ask for: comedy, great effects, an amazing cast that truly captured the time, sex, and, of course, blood! So, it’s about time that it got its own documentary, and we’re happy to bring you extended trailer (above) for You’re so Cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night.
Also, check out the poster for You’re so Cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night after some additional information from the press release.
From the Press Release:
From Dead Mouse Productions and the Producer of Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser & Hellbound: Hellraiser II, comes the new Fright Night documentary. Fully supported and produced by original Fright Night writer and director Tom Holland, this documentary is the ultimate insight into the making of this cult classic movie as well as a tribute to the late, great Roddy McDowall. The Story of Fright Night will feature detailed interviews with those who helped shape and create this much-loved movie. Guided by Tom Holland, the makers of this new documentary will raise the stakes and unearth the behind-the-scenes stories, including footage and images from Tom’s personal archives.
Leviathan proved that an independent documentary supported solely by the fans and a dedicated team of filmmakers can result in a fully detailed retrospective documentary. Leviathan is a 3-disc, 9-hour treat for Hellraiser fans, the intention is to give Fright Night the same respect and treatment.
