And I'm afraid my boy Del Toro is going to win out every time on that one. <br /><br />@ Neil: Thank you sir. <br /><br />@CDM: Thanks man there is a lot of fun to be had. <br /><br />@ FC: Thanks man it was a great piece. <br /><br />@ Vulvina: Good call on the bowling scene. Fright Night II seems as though it continues to get manhandled. The DVD was super limited, and Fool Screen only. If the remake was a hit maybe we would have gotten a decent release. But they didn't even put out a new edition of the original.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-13861039744138840942011-10-06T12:09:42.919-07:002011-10-06T12:09:42.919-07:00Fright Night II was a movie that was murdered by i...Fright Night II was a movie that was murdered by its distributor. I remember reading about it in the trades and looking forward to seeing it only to have it slink onto home video without ever playing in my vicinity. Which is a pity, because it wasn't a bad movie by any means. I'd claim that it has my favorite bowling scenes in movies, but for the fact that Kingpin exists.Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-2176631686843883092011-10-06T08:44:48.929-07:002011-10-06T08:44:48.929-07:00Yeah, I enjoy this one, and Im a huge fan of the o...Yeah, I enjoy this one, and Im a huge fan of the original! But both films feel like they co-exist in the same universe, it doesnt feel like some sequels, where things just dont feel the same. <br /><br />Nope on this one its Charlie and Peter back in action. Julie Carmen as they main villain was a genius choice, so beautiful! <br /><br />Agree about the effects work, still top notch, at least the film wasnt a let down on this department either. <br /><br />Jon Gries also played a werewolf on Monster Squad! But he is slightly more viscious on this one, the scene where he is squeezing blood out of a cold dead body (at the bowling alley) was pretty gruesome.<br /><br />I just posted an article on my blog where I compare the original Fright Night with the remake, check it out, I think you'll enjoy it!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-79317661612751668332011-10-05T16:45:14.783-07:002011-10-05T16:45:14.783-07:00I'm glad you covered this film.

I re-watched it again in August, right before taking in the '11 remake (which was a surprisingly good update, IMO). But, back to the sequel. I think I very much agree with your assessment. It produced a decent good time, with an 80s charm. Definitely worth catching, if you've never seen it before. Keep'em coming, Bryce.
