80s Horror Flicks


A few months ago I got on a classic 80s horror flick kick and purchased as many DVDs or iTunes movie downloads as I could find. Creapshow, The Craft...and I downloaded one of my favs, Fright Night onto my ipod and watched the film in a few chunks while walking (that's a whole other kind of chunky...lol...). Nothing like a few scream queen films to keep your pace up on the treadmill from hell.

I'm still on the lookout for the House films - anyone remember those?

Anyway, I recently discovered (thanks to The Steampunk Scholar) they're doing a remake of Fright Night. Looks a bit darker, but hopefully it will have the humour / camp that I loved. With Colin Farrell as the vampire, Jerry, and David Tennant (Doctor Who) as the TV slayer Peter Vincent, we're sure to be mildly entertained at the very least.

Check out the trailer:
