"What was that?" "Jonathan." "Come." "sit here beside me on the veranda." "It's chilly out here." "it isn't." "It's beautiful." "I love the night so." "Nina." "so pale." "so..." "Iuminescent." "so..." "Yes?" " Your lips are so red." " Are they?" "Would you like to kiss them?" "Nina?" "Jonathan." "Your neck." "Has anyone ever told you... it was beautiful?" " No." " Come." "Lay your head on my breast." "stop... you creature of the night!" "Who are you who interrupts my nightly feeding?" "I... am..." "Peter Vincent... vampire killer!" "Keep away!" "Keep away from me!" "And now your host..." "Peter Vincent." "Fright Night!" "This is Peter Vincent... bringing you Fright Night Theatre." "Charley!" "Peter Vincent's on." "Forget Peter Vincent." "But you love him." "But I love you more." "Tonight's journey into horror is..." "Blood Castle." "It will keep you on the edge of yourseat." " Stop it." " I know it will." "It is one of my favourites." "And for a very good reason." "I star in it." "Fright Night!" "I said stop it!" "give me a break!" "We've been going together almost a year." "stop it." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "that's all." "Let's get into bed." "You mean it?" "Charley..." "I'm ready." "you're not gonna believe this." "There are two guys in theyard carrying a coffin." "We have pledged ourselves to evil." "Sure." "right?" "I'm serious." " So am I." "Do you want to make love or not?" "come here." "You gotta see this." "maybe it wasn't a coffin... but I saw two guys carrying something into that house." "I don't understand you." "and then you don't." "What's wrong?" "Mom." "you two." "Are you kids having a lovers' spat?" "Mom." "Nothing like that." "there's nothing wrong with it." "The divorce rate is 76% higher... among couples who don't argue before marriage." " We're in high school!" " Never hurts to plan ahead." "will you remind your mother we're playing poker at her house thisweekend?" "Mrs Brewster." "Charley." "good night." "Mrs Brewster." " Good night." "Thanks for helping with Charley's homework" "Anytime." "Charley?" "not walking Amy to the front door." "There are people next door." "I guess the new owner's moving in." " What new owner?" " Didn't I tell you?" "Bob Hoskins said he finally got rid ofthe place." " Who'd he sell it to?" " Some fella who fixes up houses." "Supposed to be very attractive." "I just hope he knows what he's getting into with this house." "It's gonna take a lot of work" "A man was found murdered tonight behind the railroad yards." "awaiting notification of next of kin." "Mr Smith." "Have a good weekend." "That bastard!" "Why didn't he tell us he was gonna spring a pop quiz?" "That's the point to a pop quiz-- to surprise you." "teach." "Amy." "Did she finally find out whatyou're really like?" "Evil." "Oh." "Call me anything you want." "not me." "Is this 99 Oak?" "that's next door." "Thanks." "Mom?" " Yeah." "I'm in here." "Have you seen the new guy next door?" "but he's got a live-in carpenter." "he's probably gay." "I don't think so." "nothing." "I gotta go study." "Study?" "You?" "Hi." "I'm really sorry about the other night." "not yours." "It was?" "I loveyou." "I never wanna fight with you again." "I'm so glad we're getting this straightened out." " Police have reported a second murder." " I've been miserable the past two days." "whose body was found this morning... was a known prostitute." "Not talkin' to you on the phone-- are you listening to me?" "The mutilated corpse was found under the North Creek bridge by the old mill." "There are no leads" " Know what I heard on the police band?" " What?" "That wasn't the only murder." "The second in two days." "And get this-- both of 'em had their heads chopped off." "Can you believe it?" "You're sick" "Brewster!" "I can't stand it!" "kid!" " What are you doing?" " Nothin'." "yeah?" "just make sure that it stays that way... kid." "get up!" "I can't believe what's happening next door!" " What?" " He has fangs." "The guy who bought the house has fangs." "Fangs." "That's lovely." "I have to get up at 7:00 tomorrow." "Fangs?" "Charley!" "You forgot something." "This microwave never melts the marshmallows right." "Drink that." "I don't need hot cocoa." "I didn't have a nightmare." "They did kill a girl over there." "I'm not sick!" "The guy did have fangs." "A bat did fly over my head and a second later he stepped out of the shadows." "Don't you see what that means?" "let me guess." "What?" "He's a vampire!" "A what?" "A vampire!" "Haven't you listened to anything I've said?" "is this some sort of a trick.." "to get me back?" "Forget it." "I'm going to the police." "You can't tell the police that." "They'll lock you up." "I won't tell them he's a vampire." "But I sure am gonna tell them about the two women." "You're sure about this now?" " Yes?" " Mr Dandrige?" "Billy Cole." "Homicide." "Do you mind if we come in?" "not at all." "Come on in." "This is quite a place you have here." " Yeah." "We're restoring it." " Where is Mr Dandrige?" "He's away on business." " Can I help you?" " There was a murder last night." "Your neighbour Charley thinks he saw the victim in this house." "That's impossible." "I was here with jerry last night." "Therewas nobody else here." " That's a lie." "I saw him carry her body out in a plastic bag." "What do you say to that?" "but they were full oftrash." "Amy?" "let me show you." "not trash." "Charley?" "but" " Okay." "Let me take you out back I'll show you the bags I put in the garbage." "let's see them." " I can prove he's lying!" "Let's look in the basement instead." "Charley?" "Charley." "What's down there?" "Officer." "A coffin!" "That's what's down there." "I saw them carry it in." "What?" "sleeping the sleep ofthe undead." "What are you talking about?" " He's a vampire." " Uh-oh!" "and he bit her on the neck" "For heaven's sake!" " Come on." " What?" "Wait!" "We can't just leave like this!" "I got a coffin for you!" "I don't care what you say!" "please listen to me!" "Jerry Dandrige is a vampire." "and I'm Dirty Harry." "Listen." "I'm throwing it in jail forever!" "just listen to me for a second!" "but" "Lieutenant" "my God." "Evil!" "And to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?" "The vampire knows I know about him." "Or at least he will when he wakes up tonight." "What are you talking about?" "A vampire is living next door to me... and he's gonna kill me if I don't protect myself." " What?" " I haven't got time to explain." "Just tell me what to do to protect myself." "Brewster." "please!" "I'm not kidding!" " Tell me what to do!" " Don't call me Evil any more!" "Why should I help you anyway?" "I've got eight bucks." "Help me and it's yours." "Far be it from me to turn down a fool's money." "Where and when doyou expect the vampire to attack?" "tonight." "Start with this." "But you must have total faith in it for it to work" "Then get some garlic." "Links of the stuff you can wear around your neck and hang from your window." "that'll be the way." "Then-- of course!" "There's holy water!" "But you gotta get a priest to say a blessing over it first." " That's it?" " I'm afraid so." "Charles... is that a vampire cannot enter your house... without being invited by the rightful owner first." " Are you sure?" " Positive." "Thank you." "Thank you." "please?" "There's someone I'd like you to meet." "Mom." "this is our next-door neighbour..." "Jerry Dandrige." "Charley." "don't be rude." "Shake hands." " What's he doing here?" " I invited him for a drink" "You what?" "I invited him over." "Why?" "Charley?" "Afraid I'd never come over without being invited first?" "You're quite right." "now that I've been made welcome..." "I'll probably drop by quite a bit." "anytime I feel like it." "of course." "anytime." "It's nice that someone interesting has finally moved into the neighbourhood." "are you all right?" "I'm fine." "I just gotta get back to my trig." "Nice to meet you." "See you." "Soon." "would we?" "Then I'd have to kill her too." "Right?" "Do you realize how much trouble you've caused me?" "Spying on me." "Almost disturbing my sleep this afternoon." "Telling policemen about me!" "boy." "I could give you something I don't have." "A choice." "Charley." "and I'll forget about you." "Charley?" "Fool." "Charley!" "can you hear me?" "is thatyou?" "My door is stuck" " What is going on?" " Nothing." "I just had a nightmare." "I had one last night." "It was awful." "I was at this white sale and suddenly realized I was stark naked." " Now what is it?" " Nothing." "Just raccoons in the garbage again." " Go back to sleep." " But what about your nightmare?" " Do you want a Valium?" " I'm fine now." " Honest." " I do need my sleep." "I start the night shift tomorrow." "3:00 in the morning." "Mom." "Charley." "I can see you." "Charley?" "scared?" "and I'm gonna finish it." "Charley." "But that's nothing compared to what I'm gonna do to you... tomorrow night." "your host..." "Peter Vincent." "horror fans." "Did you know there are a lot of people... who do not believe in vampires?" "But I do... because I know they exist." "I have fought them in all their guises-- bats-- and I have always won!" "That is why they call me... the great vampire killer." "Now... watch me do it." "Peter." "Go." "could I talk to you for a minute?" "very important." " What do you want me to sign?" " Pardon me?" "don't you?" "I was curious about what you said last night on TV... about believing in vampires." "What about it?" "Were you serious?" "absolutely." "none of your generation seems to be." "What do you mean?" "I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers any more... or vampires either." "Apparently all they want are demented madmen... running around in ski masks hacking up young virgins." "Excuse me." "I believe in vampires." "That's nice." "perhaps my ratings would've been higher." "I have one living next door to me." "Would you help me kill him?" "Pardon me?" "You know that murder a few days ago?" "Yes." "and he's a vampire." "I am not amused." "I am not joking." "I am deadly serious." "if you would excuse me-- you have to believe me." "I'm telling the truth." "You just said you believed in vampires." "I lied." "if you will leave me alone" "You have to listen to me!" "The vampire tried to kill me last night... and trashed my car when he didn't succeed." "he's gonna kill me." "Mr Vincent!" "Just listen to me for a second." "No!" "Wait!" "Mr Vincent!" "Wait!" " What are you doing here?" " What about you?" "You just dumped him." " It's none of your business." " So you do like him." "Anybody home?" "Wow." "What's all this for?" "Self-defence." "Not that I think I'll need it." "He'll be dead before nightfall." " Who will be?" " Dandrige." "then I'm gonna find his coffin... and pound this through his heart." "Charley." "Amy." "They're dead." "Remember?" "Listen." "I just taped this." "Amy." "What are we gonna do?" "This is just like Fright Night." "Nowforthe news." "Anotheryoung woman's body was discovered this morning... in back of the sheridan Mall" "I don't have any choice." "Somebody has to stop him." "It's gonna be dangerous going into that house all alone." "You'll need all the help you can get." "for instance?" "I tried him already." "let us try again before you do anything." "Amy." "what happens if you go into that house alone... and he gets you?" "Who's gonna stop him then?" "Yeah." "Then he'll be able to suck his way through the entire town." "Not that it would be much of a loss." "it's gonna be dark soon." "doyou?" "you're right there." "try him again." " Great." "You promise you're not gonna do anything till you hear from us?" "Okay." "Come on." "doyou?" "Charley." "come on!" "Yes?" "could we talk to you for a moment?" "I'm afraid now is not the best time." "Please." "It's very important." "if you would just... wait there for one moment" "Come in!" "What can I do for you?" "perhaps?" "Perhaps an interview for your school newspaper?" "I'm afraid this is much more important." "Really?" "What could be more important than my autograph?" "Saving a boy's life." "Oh." "Yes." "I can see where that could be more important." "Perhaps you would care to explain." "Remember a fruitcake kid named Charley Brewster?" "He said he saw you." "The one who believes a vampire lives next to him." "he is insane." "my dear..." "I do hope he's not a friend of yours." "she's got the hots for the creep." "Amy!" "We need your help to stop him." "He really believes his next-door neighbour is a vampire... and he's planning to kill him." "With a stake through the heart." "Are you two serious?" "my dear." "not a vampire killer." "Mr Vincent." " I'm afraid not." "Hollywood beckons." "I have just been offered a starring role in a major film." "I have even had to quit Fright Night." " I'll give you money." " How much?" "I have a $500 savings bond." "I'll take it." "how are we going to cure your little friend... ofthis delusion?" "I got it all figured out." "We all go next door to the neighbour... and you perform some kind of vampire test on him... to pronounce him human." "You know." "Like in Orgy of the Damned?" "Where you looked in the mirror... so then you knew he was a vampire." "yes." "That was one of my favourite roles." "Do you know..." "I still... have the prop." "It's for you." "this is jerry Dandrige." "I see." "of course." "I'm always willing to help young people... but I'm afraid that crosses are out ofthe question." "I've been reborn recently." "He's a reborn Christian." "He thinks crosses would be sacrilegious." " Ask him how he feels about holy water." " How about holy water?" "No." "Won't do either." "Tell him it's ordinary tap water." "All he has to do is sip it." "yes." "Yes." "Okay." "That sounds fine." "But don't bring him over until 6:00 tomorrow." "I'll be out until then." "Seems we don't have to go out tonight after all." "His friends are bringing him over tomorrow night... to prove to him that I'm not... a vampire." "It's 6:10." "He said he was gonna be here at 6:00." "He said he'd be here." "He'll be here." "Here he comes!" "I presume." "vampire killer." "I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this." "down to business." "Where is the lair of the suspected creature ofthe night?" "There." "yes." "I see what you mean." "There is a distinct possibility." "shall we go?" "Wait." "Where's your stakes and hammers?" "I left them in my bag." "You're not going in there without them." "Charley." "I know he's a vampire!" "Charley." "How are you gonna do that?" "This is holy water." "he will blister." "I have asked him to drink it... while we all watch." "He readily agreed." "But if I'm right and you prove he is a vampire... he'll kill us all." "Charley." "and I am Peter Vincent!" "but" "Hey!" "Peter Vincent." "Billy Cole." "This is a pleasure." "Won't you all come in?" "And Charley." "jer!" "They're here." "Perhaps he didn't hear you." "all right." "Mr Vincent." "I've seen all your films... and I've found them... very amusing." "Oh." "Thank you." "And who are these two... attractive young people?" "Ed Thompson." "Amy Peterson." "Charmed." "Charley?" "Brewster." "he's neat." "Please excuse the mess." "I haven't finished unpacking." "Where do you keep your coffin?" "Or do you have more than one?" "Charley!" "Mr Vincent." "I'm quite used to it by now." "Charley even brought the police over a few days ago." "you didn't!" "Damn right I did." "Only they didn't believe me any more than any of you." "But you'll believe me soon." "Give him the holy water." "there's no reason to be rude about this." "MrVincent." "Where is it?" "And are you sure that this is holy water?" "Positive." "I saw Father Scanlon bless it myself." "Get ready to run." "I'll protect you." "Bottoms up." "There." "Satisfied?" "Totally." "you saw that." "Are you convinced now that Mr Dandrige is not a vampire?" "It can't be." "you saw it." "You know as well as I do that no vampire can drink blessed water." "Then it wasn't blessed." "young man?" "Ifhe's not a vampire... have him touch this." "You've made a fool of yourself once." "There's no reason to compound the error." "You've already caused your friends quite enough pain." "would you?" "of course not." "Then you're finally convinced I'm not a vampire either?" "Right?" "Yes." "I'm glad that's settled." "Mr Vincent." "You've been a great help." " Glad to be of service." "It was very nice meeting both of you." "Feel free to drop by anytime." "You'll always be welcome." "Mr Dandrige." "Please call me jerry." "Let's get out of here." "Ed." "the occult." "Mr Vincent?" "I just felt a little" "It was just my clumsiness." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." "We have been taking up much too much of your time." "everybody." "Thank you." "Bye-bye." " What's wrong with you?" " Nothing." " Then why are you shaking?" " I'm not shaking." "didn'tyou?" "Mr Vincent." "You have to tell me." "All right!" "He didn't cast a reflection in my mirror." " Satisfied now?" " You have to call the police!" "Shit!" "pencil dick?" " Home!" " No way." "We walkAmy home first." "doesn't she?" "One good thing-- they'll never believe him now." "No?" " Let's cut through here." " No way!" "the better." "vampires don't exist." "Haven't you figured that outyet?" "Evil?" "What if Dandrige is a vampire and he thinks you know it?" "Would you walk down that alley then?" "Brewster." "all right?" "but I'm not." " What'll we do?" " Let him go." "No vampire's gonna want him anyway." "Probably give him blood poisoning." "Jesus!" "I warned him!" "Charley!" "He bit me!" "don'tyou?" "Kill me." "Charley... before I turn into a vampire... and giveyou a hickey!" "You asshole!" "you poor dope!" "You'll get yours someday." "yeah ?" "When?" "When I'm bit by a vampire?" "fruitcake!" "is thatyou?" "It's not working." "I'm not scared." "Edward." "You don't have to be afraid of me." "I know what it's like being different." "Only they won't pick on you any more... or beat you up." "I'll see to that." "All you have to do is take my hand." "Edward." "Take my hand." "What was that?" "Just Evil messing around again." "Evil!" "It's not funny!" "what if Evil was really in trouble?" "are you?" "Don't tell me this is a power outage." "what else would it be?" "Hey!" "You can't come in here!" " Who are you calling?" " The police." "Who is it?" "Me." "Evil Ed." " What do you want?" " There's a vampire out here." "Let me in." "What are we going to do?" "What are you gonna do?" "Not me!" "I used to admire you." "You know that?" "of course... that was before..." "I found out what a fake you were!" "Peter Vincent... the great vampire killer!" "What have you done to me?" "Back!" "The masterwill kill you for this." "But not fast." "so slowly." "Back" "I say back!" "He doesn't believe me!" "Charley." "I'm really scared." "Amy." "I promise." "You got Peter Vincent's number?" "He doesn't care about us!" "I paid him to be there today." "Amy." "We don't have any choice." "Now give me his number." "you've gotta help us." "Dandrige has me and Amy trapped in this club downtown." "Charley." "I'm sorry." "I just can't do that." "You've gotta come." "You're the only one who knows what's going on." "Let her go." "Filthy son of a bitch!" "Charley." "It isn't polite." "You can't kill me here." "Charley." "I want you to bring Peter Vincent to my house-- just the two of you." "ifyou everwant to see Amy again." " Let her go!" " I got him." "go someplace else." " Out of my way." " Move me." "Leon!" "open the door!" " Who is it?" "It's me." "Charley Brewster." "Let me in." " Are you one of them?" " What are you talking about?" "Here." "Grab this." "Come on." "We don't have very much time." "Dandrige chased me and Amy all over town." "He trapped us in a nightclub." " What are you doing?" " I'm leaving." " You can't!" " just watch me." "But Dandrige has Amy!" "He's gonna kill her unlesswe come to his house." "my God." "The police." "I'll call the police." "Peter." "No!" "They won't believe you." "I've tried." "it's just us." "We're gonna have to save Amy." "I can't." "I... was paid to be there today." "I know." "And you still want me to help you?" "Yes!" "the great vampire killer!" "That is a character in a movie!" "That isn't even my real name." "I'm terrified." "but I am." "Peter." "Amy is gonna die." "probably." "Peter." "Charley." "She's someone I knew a long time ago." "Where am I?" "Where's Charley?" "Where?" "Peter Vincent." "Ready to do battle with the undead." "This is serious." "I am serious." "Here." "Hold this." "Go on." "hammer." "yes." "Cross." "What about Billy Cole?" "How are you gonna stop him?" "I'm going to use this." "It is from Orgy ofthe Damned." "What if he's not human?" "Bullets aren't gonna stop him then." "doesn't he?" " Hmm?" " Yeah." "then." "He is human." "Come on." "You don't have to do this." " I want to thank you" " Not now." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Nothing at all." "Are you crazy?" "Not the front door." "Let's go around the back and sneak in." "Too late." "I am Peter Vincent... the great vampire killer." "This way." "Did you hear something?" "No." "he'll be asleep then." "We'll have a better chance of getting Amy." "And Amy will be dead by then too." "Now come on." "Welcome to Fright Night." "For real." "Where's Amy?" "Up here." "All you have to do is get by me." "spawn of Satan!" "really?" "You have to have faith... for this to work on me..." "Mr Vincent." "Stop!" "Back" "We're gonna make it." "Mrs Brewster!" "get me the" "Thank God." "The phone wires have been cut." "I know." "I did it!" "Where is Charley's mother?" "apparently she's working nights." "But she left a note." "His dinner's in the oven!" "You wanted her." "There she is." "Here." "You're gonna need it." "Just before dawn." "What haveyou done to her?" "I'm gonna have to break the door down." "You make as much noise asyou can." "Help!" "Let me out!" "Please!" "Open the door!" "Help!" "Somebody!" "I think she just opened her eyes." "All right." "Grab her." "Let's get out ofhere." "We can't." "Look" "my God." "Something wrong?" "Yes." "We have a visitor." "Is it too late to save her?" "No." "Not if we kill Dandrige before dawn." "Are you sure?" "everything has been like it was in movies." "Now we just have to keep hoping." "Let's go." "what do we have here?" "Vampire killers?" "Stop or I'll shoot." "I mean it." "Don't force me to shoot." "Stop!" "We have him." "Do you?" "What did he mean by that?" "Nothing." "He was just bluffing." "She's worse!" "Come on." "We're running out oftime." "Amy." "Awake." "I command you... to awake!" "Amy." "Kill them... both!" "He's on the roof." "I'm going up there." "He's not up here." "Look out!" "He's going downstairs." "So." "Stay back" "Back" "You have to have faith for that to work.." "Mr Vincent!" "Remember?" "Mr Dandrige." "Look overyour shoulder." "Back!" " Are you all right?" " Yeah." "Quick He's in the basement." "Quick his coffin has got to be down here somewhere." "What was that?" "You keep searching." "I'll check it out." "Amy?" "It's me." "I know." "I found it." "Charley." "Hurry." "Get it open!" "He's locked it from the inside." "What's wrong?" "Don't you want me any more?" "Charley." "You promised you wouldn't let him get me!" "You promised!" "watch out!" "Amy!" "Look!" "We've been going in a circle." "We're right back where we started from." "Fright Night Theatre." "This is Peter Vincent... back once more with you... as host of Fright Night." "I thought I'd let the vampires rest for a little while." "Charley?" "the threat comes not from beyond the grave... but from beyond the stars... as alien beings stalk an unwary summer camp... in Mars Wants Flesh." "I do not star in it." "Is something wrong?" "Nothing." "Brewster!"
