movie review

Part two of my review of the underrated horror sequel, Fright Night Part II(1988) starring William Ragsdale, Roddy McDowall, Traci Lind, Julie Carmen, Jon Gries, Russell Clark, Brian Thompson, and Merritt Butrick. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. Trivia Jon Gries, who played the werewolf character Louie, also played a werewolf in another cult favorite, The Monster Squad. The books Alex looks at on the shelf in the library include the following: “The Castle of Otranto,” an early Gothic novel, by Horace Walpole; “The Book of Vampires” by Dudley Wright (originally published in 1914 under the title “Vampires and Vampirism”); “The Transitive Vampire,” by Karen Gordon (not a vampire book at all, but a humorous book about grammar); “Vampires,” an anthology of vampire stories, edited by Alan Ryan; “The Dracula Book of Great Vampire Stories,” edited by Leslie Shepard; and several editions of “Dracula,” by Bram Stoker.
