Plot: This horror-comedy sequel finds the teen protagonist of Fright Night being terrorized by the undead sister of the vampire he killed in the original film. Two years after the death of bloodsucker Jerry Dandridge, young Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) has settled into life as a college student and rejected his former belief in the existence of vampires. Although he's busy pursuing the affections of determined coed Alex (Traci Lind), Charley soon falls under the spell of the mysterious and alluring Regine (Julie Carmen). Although everything about the woman screams vampire, her feminine charms -- and her claims of being nothing but an outlandish performance artist -- lead Charley to become her unwilling servant. Torn between Regine's enchantments and his loyalty to Traci, the youth again looks for help from Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), the washed-up horror-show host who assisted him in the first film. Soon, Charley, Peter, and Traci are facing off against a coven of picturesque bloodsuckers led by Regine, who reveals herself to be the ancient sister of Jerry Dandridge. Directed and co-written by John Carpenter colleague Tommy Lee Wallace, Fright Night Part 2 includes a co-writing credit for Pretty Woman scribe Stephen Metcalfe and cinematography from Mark Irwin, who has worked with everyone from David Cronenberg to the Farrelly brothers. ~ Brian J.

Good Sequel bad DVD print

Fright Night part 2 is the sequel to Fright Night part 1 with William Ragsdale, Roddy McDowell reprising their roles from the first movie again taking on Vampires. It is a good solid effort, some will call it a keeper to own, others might said it was good to rent. To me it was better than the middle of the pack as far as Vampire movies go, about as good as To Die For. And it was about on par as part 1. If you liked Part 1, you will like Part 2..
The DVD is long out of print with no word as to a re-release, which is bad because the DVD transfer is the exact same thing as the VHS. Total VHS full frame quality. It deserved a better treatment.
To me it is not worth the amount that it is on DVD since the transfer is of VHS quality. You might as well look for a keep the VHS if you want to get the movie and wait for a better release. It might be a long time though.

This movie is very good as far as sequels go and this transfer to DVD is simply unacceptable! Anamorphic widescreen and remastering would improve this a hundred fold. And some nice extras would'nt hurt either. In 2009 it will be the 20 year anniversary, so for you studio heads out there who re-release other movies every five years, how about giving us Fright Night 2 for essentially the first time.

Can we PLEASE get a decent DVD release for FN2?

Fright Night II is a fun 80s vampire sequel. Admittedly, this is not as good as the original but sequels rarely are. I actually went to see this film during its limited theatrical release nearly 20 years ago and I had a blast.

Monsters HD (part of the Voom HD channel suite that USED to be carried on Dish Network but sadly Dish dropped Voom 5/2008) just got Fright Night II transferred over to HD from the original negative and that usually means that a spiffy DVD release may not be to far around the bend.

Seriously, this is fun flick with some cool make up effects and comedic gags; enough for any vampire movie lover to sink their fangs into. If you like 80s horror films than this is a MUST see.

I am just hoping for a nice wide screen transfer of the film with a 5.1 DD sound track. Is that too much to ask for? Some extras like commentary and or cast interviews would be swell too.

The Artisan DVD release from a few years ago was a joke. I remember running out to get this and was floored at the awful picture quality; honestly it is no better than a standard VHS picture. I held on to the DVD and sold it on ebay last year for 60.00 to some poor buyer in dire need of the DVD. I am not sure how Artisan can live with itself after such a dreadful release on DVD. I say off with their heads (j/k)!

Until then we are all waiting for an actual decent DVD release to come out.
