positive · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen Besson’s DRACULA, but it’s so wild how “Mina is the reincarnation of Dracula’s bride” has become part of the accepted lore. None of this is from the book; he’s directly pulling from Coppola’s 1992 film, which was cribbing from DARK SHADOWS (and maybe THE MUMMY), as was FRIGHT NIGHT 🤣

neutral · AI labelView post →I write about Dust Bunny, Bryan Fuller's feature directing debut: "The binding element turns out to be the disreputable but enthusiastic genre films that Fuller consumed as a young man—stuff like the original Gremlins, Fright Night, Tremors, and House." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dust...

neutral · AI labelView post →For the 3rd #Halloween26 movie, it's Fright Night from 1985, my all time favorite horror movie. This has everything: it's definitely scary, with a villain who's both sexy and horrific, it borrows generously from others, and there's gay subtext for days.

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ The Beast Within (1981) by Edward Levy was adapted to film in 1982. The screenplay is by by Tom Holland of Fright Night fame. The Southern Gothic tale examines how someone becomes a "monster" whereas the film takes the monster motif literally as a were. 👹🩸👩 #filmsky #booksky

Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and featuring special makeup effects designed by Norman Cabrera, the film stars Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale, Traci Lind, Julie Carmen and Jon Gries, to name a few. #Horror
neutral · AI labelView post →In addition to FRIGHT NIGHT having so much textual queerness, I can't help but love a movie where a horror host becomes part of an actual horror story. To me, this is a definitive vampire film of the moment: Undeniably 80s, while being wildly reverential to fright cinema history that came before.

Last week I realized he was in the 2011 FRIGHT NIGHT along with a stacked cast including Colin Farrell, Imogen Poots, Toni Collette, and David freaking Tennant. Finally watched it last night. Such a bittersweet blast from the past.
