Hmmm
Wow by A G	Jul 18th, 2008 12:39:31 PM
That sounds Awesome. Pity I'm thousands of miles away.
I enjoyed Fright Night by toadkillerdog	Jul 18th, 2008 12:40:10 PM
Goofy but fun movie.
Chris Sarandon Sucked My... by ScottinDC	Jul 18th, 2008 12:44:27 PM
Blood! Actually, Fright Night was kind of fun. Sure, Chris Sarandon sucked (pun intended) but the lead character's nerdy best friend was actually pretty freaky after being turned. He was probably the eeriest part of that whole movie.
Fuck Fuck Fuck that's so awesome by chrth	Jul 18th, 2008 12:48:02 PM
Can't believe it's not viable for me to attend. Oh Brewster you're so cool!
Fright Night by frongbak	Jul 18th, 2008 12:50:24 PM
Just watched it for the first time. A very enjoyable film, after this and Princess Bride it's strange Chris Sarandon didn't get more work, he can play the dashing douchebag like few others.
yum yum by m.dung	Jul 18th, 2008 12:50:34 PM
"dinner is in the oven." Loved this flick. Second one sucked. Didn't the guy who played the leads best friend turn to gay porn?

The last true Nightmare film until New Nightmare.
Check out "Evil Ed's" IMDB page by Sailor Rip	Jul 18th, 2008 12:56:04 PM
After Fright Night he did a string of hardcore gay porn. For serious.
Don't forget Sarandon as the cop in CHILD'S PLAY by MCVamp	Jul 18th, 2008 12:56:09 PM
I think?
Fright Night is hands down the best vampire movie by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 18th, 2008 12:57:07 PM
of the 80's. Yes, thats right, it beats Near Dark as being the perfect vampire movie for the time.
I remember the weird BFF from FRIGHT NIGHT by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 18th, 2008 12:57:54 PM
was in a episode of AMAZING STORIES, he tuned to gay porn!?! No fucking shit.
PETER VINCENT VAMPIRE KILLER...... by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 18th, 2008 01:01:03 PM
and compared to many other horror sequels of the 80's, Fright Night 2 comes off better than most. The ending is too short yes, but the characters and performances still sell that film. The goofiness of the psychiatrist at the railroad tracks is pretty bad however. That said, I love the nut house scene.
"We're the Dream Warriors, Ain't Gonna Dream No Mooore..." by tonagan	Jul 18th, 2008 01:01:08 PM
Wasn't that Dokken?
Man you guys sure know your gay porn... by MCVamp	Jul 18th, 2008 01:02:05 PM
I keed, I keed...
"MCVamp" by Sailor Rip	Jul 18th, 2008 01:02:54 PM

And yes, the Evil Ed gay porn story is absolutely true... by tonagan	Jul 18th, 2008 01:03:15 PM
And he's not reluctant to admit it in the least. Good for him.
Yes Stephen Geoffreys did turn too pole smokin movies by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 18th, 2008 01:03:46 PM
However he did star in 976-EVIL. That was a pretty cool horror. I think it was directed by Robert Englund.
MCVamp by Sailor Rip	Jul 18th, 2008 01:04:24 PM
I know. I was watching "Latin Crotch Rockets" and I spit the guy's balls out of my mouth and was like "Holy shit! It's Evil Fucking Ed!"
Dammit I mispelled to with too by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 18th, 2008 01:07:17 PM
Who's the Cunt now eh'?
CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 18th, 2008 01:07:59 PM
that is all.
YYEEAHHHH unn ha haaaa by Speed Fricassee	Jul 18th, 2008 01:10:08 PM
... no.
"In my dream, I'm beautiful...and bad." by MCVamp	Jul 18th, 2008 01:10:16 PM
"Let's get high." Ahhh, Dream Warriors.
"DREAM WARRIORS" by Dokken by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 18th, 2008 01:13:13 PM
that song is BADASS, good times.
Tonagan by The Winged Doucheman	Jul 18th, 2008 01:14:10 PM
That was Dokken. The music video ended with Freddy waking from his horrible Dokken dream. Ahhh...classic MTV music videos. Back when they played music. I remember Freddy hosting entire blocks of metal videos from his boiler room.
I think that if we can forget about by rsanta74	Jul 18th, 2008 01:15:15 PM
NOES 2,5, & 6 then the series is actually very enjoyable and very coherent. NOES 1: Classic for every reason NOES 3: Nancy returns. Introduces the Dream Warriors. NOES 4: Kills off the last DWs and wraps up that story arc with the Dream Master, Freddy's polar opposite. Perfect ending to a perfect story arc. They had to f**k it up and make the "Dream Child" and "Freddy's Dead" - two of the worst in the series. They're second only to the abomination that was Freddy's Revenge. Between the ideas of love saving the day and Freddy as a body snatcher, I'm surprised that the cast & crew weren't strung up. The least competent sequel of the bunch. Really, if the NOES only consisted of 1,3, & 4 then it would've made a great horror trilogy. At least Craven made up for the true horrors of 2,5, & 6 with New Nightmare. Now, if only we can get another true sequel - a #8. I understand that Englund is getting older and that he IS Freddy, but I think that somebody else can probably handle the part just as well. My personal choice? Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville. Perfect face type. Great at playing evil and bastardly characters. I think that he'd make a great Freddy.
Here are some of Evil Ed's credits. by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 18th, 2008 01:15:42 PM
"Just 18 and Gay", "Leather Buddies", "Black Men, White Men", "Cock Pit", "Guys Who Crave Big Cocks." I noticed he likes alot of variety.
remember Amy's vampire mouth ? by JeanLuc Dickhard	Jul 18th, 2008 01:17:41 PM
yeah fucking sexy beast ........ damn i love Fright Night .... what ever happen to Charlie Brewster ?
"Welcome to Fright Night. For real." by scudd	Jul 18th, 2008 01:24:14 PM
Fright Night is one of my favorite vampire movies (not like there are many decent ones to choose from). Wish I could make this.
Stephen Geoffreys was also in Fraternity Vacation by chrth	Jul 18th, 2008 01:28:10 PM
A classic B-Movie. He's the USA Up All Night King.
Speaking of gay by The Winged Doucheman	Jul 18th, 2008 01:28:59 PM
NOES 2 is the gayest gay movie ever gayed. I actually wrote a college paper about the film and its homosexual stereotypes. Think about it. Freddy represents the "monster queer" that Hollywood often uses to portray extreme horror villians (Jame Gumb, Norman Bates). The shower death scene with the coach is waaaaaaay gay. The male protagonist (Jesse, a unisex name) plays the role typically meant for females. He never sleeps with his GF, and when he tries to, the monster inside him (Freddy as homosexual feelings) comes out. He is "saved" by the love of a woman. Not to mention the classic line, "Fred Krueger!... He's inside me... and he wants to take me again"
every geek in Los Angeles county is at TDK tonight.... by Duke of Hurl	Jul 18th, 2008 01:32:38 PM

Oh Man I FUCKINGGGG LOOOVE Fright Night! by alucardvsdracula	Jul 18th, 2008 01:36:03 PM
Yeah I know it's latent homosexuality personified in a teen vampire movie but holy shit it rocks. A bit like Superman Returns realy, but probably LESS GAY.
Too bad they can't get J Geils to play by skimn	Jul 18th, 2008 01:41:49 PM
God knows they could probably use the gig.
The Winged Doucheman by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 18th, 2008 01:45:21 PM
I seriously laughed my ass of at your post, that shit is so true, not to mention it's one of the worst sequels ever, pure crap and an obvious rushed cash-in.
All this gay talk by skimn	Jul 18th, 2008 01:51:50 PM
and no mention of pre-out of closet and future Married With Children's Amanda Bearse? Wonder if she was out at that time??
Yes, but NOES 2 is worthy for two things: by MCVamp	Jul 18th, 2008 01:57:00 PM
1. The bus on the cliff. Iconic enough for South Park to recycle. 2. Freddy: "Help yourself, fucker!" Otherwise, yeah, bad movie.
oh NoeS FreDDy kant haz gay movee by The Winged Doucheman	Jul 18th, 2008 01:59:10 PM
-LOLcat'd
Skipp and Spector! by reni	Jul 18th, 2008 02:03:22 PM
Fright Night is fucking colossal!
"Welcome to prime time, bitch." by The Winged Doucheman	Jul 18th, 2008 02:03:45 PM
Elm Street 3 has the most creative deaths.
I liked the girl/cockroach death in #4.... by tonagan	Jul 18th, 2008 02:21:51 PM
That always creeped me out, the rest of the movie, not so much.
CecilBenedict by Sailor Rip	Jul 18th, 2008 02:55:58 PM
Did you see Butt Blazer? He ain't acting brother! Hiyooooooooo!
Wow... by Phimseto	Jul 18th, 2008 03:05:08 PM
That is about as kickass a double-feature of 80s goodness as you could ask for.
Weak Choices by Roderick Usher	Jul 18th, 2008 03:11:45 PM
These movie run on cable constantly. What's the point of going to see them at the NewBev? The entire line-up for this "Mondo Diablo" is pedestrian. Who hasn't seen all of the films in her festival a hundred times? At least Edagar Wright, Joe Dante and Eli Roth managed to run a few films you can't find on DVD in their mini festivals.
I'm so there... by depalma25	Jul 18th, 2008 03:23:47 PM
Dream Warriors was the best Nightmare Sequel by far. I recently watched Fright Night again, and it's amazing how well that movie holds up. There's a brilliant vampire/wolf to human transformation scene. Great combo use of make-up and animatronics. Brad Fiedel's score is great as well. I remember being disapointed by the sequel, but now thinking back...i do remember some pretty cool scenes. This should be a triple-feature with Monster Squad.
Roderick Usher... by depalma25	Jul 18th, 2008 03:25:48 PM
People see movies in theaters that play on cable all the time. Midnight showings and New Bev movies are awesome. You're truly not a realy movie fan.
Hmm...Fright Night on TV or Fright Night in a theater full of fa by MCVamp	Jul 18th, 2008 03:51:26 PM
Gee, no difference at all, right? Lord save me.
Imagine the shock... by MaxTheSilent	Jul 18th, 2008 04:20:25 PM
...when the audience realises that DREAM WARRIORS is, in fact, utter shit. Unless you're a Dokken fan, I guess.
NOES 2 owns NOES 3 by Bass Bastardson	Jul 18th, 2008 04:34:16 PM
Contrary to popular opinion here on AICN Dream Warriors is the moment where Freddy Jumped the shark. He wen't from being a freaky, grotesque, child-predator who killed people with knives, to a wise-cracking clown who popped out of TVs, transformed into bad puppets/stop-motion critters and killed people in increasingly silly ways. Also, bringing back Heather Langencamp was an awful idea because, she is THE SINGLE WORST ACTRESS OF ALL TIME. And that includes porn.
Chris Hansen vs Freddy by The Winged Doucheman	Jul 18th, 2008 04:44:55 PM
Why don't you have a seat in that chair, Mr. Krueger. Is your screen name fingerbang_knives69?
Fright Night 2 Had The Better Vampire by thelordofhell	Jul 18th, 2008 05:43:19 PM
That chick was HOT!!
BlackCrippler.....Don't Forget Bobcat Goldthwaite by thelordofhell	Jul 18th, 2008 07:26:18 PM

I've never watched NOES 2,3,4,5,6,or 7 by liljuniorbrown	Jul 19th, 2008 04:53:38 PM
As a kid I was deathly afraid of anything related to freddy or that series of movies,tv shows and everything else he had his face plastered on. So my question is ,Is it really worth my time and effort to sit down and watch Dream Warriors?
Every actor in Fright Night was gay. Fact. by HarryBlackPotter	Jul 20th, 2008 10:14:55 AM
Well. Almost. Stephen Geoffreys (aka Stephan Bordeaux) Amanda Bearse, Roddy McDowall all 100% bent. Still, great friggin' flick. "My Master will kill you for this, not fast but slowly...oh so slowly."
