## Description

Adapted from the 1985 film, Fright Night featured the continuing adventures of movie star/vampire killer/TV horror host Peter Vincent and his teenage monster-hunter sidekick Charley Brewster.  In addition to dealing with the resurrected Evil Ed, Jerry Dandrige and other vampires, the duo also squared off against a squid-man, spider-boy, minotaur, aliens and various other monsters. Many stories were spread across two-issues with running plots throughout the series. 

Charley's girlfriends (Amy and Alex) were immediately forgotten and ultimately replaced by Natalia Hinnault, who had her own ties to the vampire underworld. Natalia's eccentric Aunt Claudia possessed supernatural abilities and, along with hapless bartender Derek Jones, who was a reluctant magnet for unworldly beings, they soon formed The Anti-Monster Society to deal with the vampire coven The Legion of the Endless Night as well as other villains.

Readers were not given any indication that the series was going to end when Now Comics filed for bankruptcy in 1990.  Issue #23 didn't go to press and no closure was given to the newly-begun storyline which found Jerry Dandrige amassing a legion of vampires in France. In 1992, the publisher briefly returned with a series of 3-D annuals which included three reprints and the previously-unpublished story "Nightmares" which was planned to have been the 23rd issue.

22 monthly issues, 4 special 3-D issues and a stand-alone adaptation of "Fright Night Part 2" have been released.
