Director Tom Hollands Fright Night is widely regarded as one of the best vampire movies ever made, if for nothing more than being a fun take on the classic monster. Released in 1985, the film took in $24 million at the box office against a budget of $7 million, and starred the likes of Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, and the incomparable Roddy McDowall as Peter Vincent.
