Hit a few Vampire movies this weekend.
Fright Night (2011)
The remake of the classic 1985 Fright Night. This time staring Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell and David Tennant. I watched this one way back in 2014. My wife was looking for movies to watch and this came up. She had not seen it, and she LOVES David Tennant. So I watched it again. Maybe it was the rewatch, but I actually liked it better this time around. Imogen Poots was also much better than I remembered her.
The music for this one was done by Ramin Djawadi of later Game of Thrones fame.
Fright Night (1985)
We watched this one right after the remake. My wife never saw this one either, but she didn't like it. I thought it was still fun. Chris Sarandon made for a great vampire. Loved his cameo in the 2011 version.
Amanda Bearse as Vamped out Amy was not the first time I ever said "going evil makes you hotter," but it was an archetypal example for me.
I am not afraid to admit it, but this movie shaped how I ran vampires in my AD&D games for a while, at least until Lost Boys came out two years later.
We also snuck in the 2nd season of "An Interview with a Vampire" on Netflix. It doesn't follow the book directly but damn is it really good. I don't think I can really count it though.
NIGHT SHIFT & Occult D&D Ideas
Fright Night (any version) is practically a NIGHT SHIFT adventure as is. It takes place in suburbia, the vampire hunters get their ideas from watching a fake vampire hunter on TV. Craziness ensues.
Come to think of it, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie (1992) owes a lot to the original Fright Night and Lost Boys.
