Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSoon after the filming was wrapped up, Roddy McDowall and Fright Night creator Tom Holland were scheduled to meet with Live Entertainment chairman Jose Menendez to discuss making a third film, but plans died with Menendez, who was infamously murdered by his sons. As a direct consequence of this horrific tragedy, Part 2 ended up losing its planned countrywide distribution and playing only in one LA and another NY theater, which directly resulted in its poor box office results (even though its per-theater results were pretty good) and being released almost straight to video. Since all of the movie's planned promos and ads were canceled as well, most people never even learned of the movie's existence until eventually noticing it at their local video store.
- GoofsVampires cast no reflection and therefore are invisible in mirrors. TV video cameras use mirrors. Regine's vampire performance on Fright Night should not have been viewable on TV.
- Quotes
Peter Vincent: First we need some holy water, and some communion wafers.
Alex: Communion wafers? The stuff you get from the church? Am I going to hell for this?
- Alternate versionsThe Swedish version is cut by about four minutes. Scenes excluded are the maggots coming out of the ghoul's stomach, the death of the black vampire is shortened, and Regine's death is also cut in some places. Furthermore, Richie's death is also shortened to exclude a sequence of him being burned by holy water.

Featured review
the true sequel to Fright Night
I enjoyed this true sequel to the original Fright Night(1985).once again Charley Brewster(William Ragsdale)and Pter Vincent(Roddy McDowall)return to battle some new vampires.this film,unlike the original film has some humorous bits mostly courtesy of John Gries who played Louie.the musical score was once again done by Brad Fiedel,and was again very appropriate to the movie.the acting is good enough for the most part.i thought Traci Lind was good as Charlie's girlfriend.however,Julie Carmen,who plays Regine,really didn't do anything for me.I also thought the special makeup effects were inferior to the original.nevertheless,the movie is watchable and a worthy sequel.Fright Night Part 2 is a 6/10
