Fright Night Comes To 4K Blu-ray On October 4th

Fright Night, the 80's classic vampire film starring Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, Stephen Geoffreys, and Roddy McDowall, is getting a 4K Blu-ray release on October 4th, stuffed to the gills with special features and a new Steelbook package. Six new featurettes will be included with the release, along with a ton of previously released ones, making this the definitive release of the film. This is a new 4K transfer of the film and will include a Dolby Atmos audio track as well. You can see the Steelbook as features list for the Tom Holland classic below.

The Original Fright Night Gets Its Due

"Meet Jerry Dandrige. He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he's the perfect neighbor. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap, there's just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red, and straight from the jugular! It's FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howl starring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerry's deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the "Great Vampire Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? If you love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT…will give you the nightmare of your life."
