Plot:
Charley Brewster, a devoted fan of the TV series "Fright Night" and die-hard horror aficionado, becomes increasingly convinced that his mysterious new neighbour, Jerry Dandrige, is a blood-sucking vampire. Ridiculed for his outlandish claims, Charley seeks help from Peter Vincent, his all-time favourite hero and former movie vampire hunter. Initially sceptical, the phoney vampire slayer accepts Charley's challenge to prove him wrong. However, as Vincent investigates, he reaches a shocking, eye-opening conclusion: there are a million reasons to be afraid of the dark. Could Charley have been right all along?
