About The Movie:


Senior Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all - he's running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right- yet no one, including Charley's mom (Toni Collette), seems to notice! After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charley comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charley has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

DreamWorks Pictures' Fright Night is produced by Michael De Luca and Alison R. Rosenzweig, with screenplay written by Marti Noxon from a story by Tom Holland, based on the film Fright Night, written by Tom Holland. Fright Night opens in theaters on August 19, 2011.

Fright Night was released August 19th, 2011 and stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco, Reid Ewing. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie.

    I am just wondering. Why do the movie studio's act so stupid? Now I don't mean remakes, or too soon reboots this time. I mean, why put a horror movie out in the end of the summer instead of closer to Halloween when these movies would do so much more money making for the scare factor of the holiday? Dosnt have to open on Oct 31. But how about the start of Oct or in the middle? Cause the month of Oct alone is the time to watch scary movies to be frightened.
