Fright Night 2 (w/ Alicia Berbenick)

Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

*lit candles glow, fog machine pumps, a cloaked figure enters… Welcome… to Fright Night… as well!! Or “in addition to…” Screw it: it’s FRIGHT NIGHT 2!! The original. There happens to be a second FIGHT NIGHT 2 that's a sequel to the remake. Wait, let’s start over.

Are you confused yet? Just you wait! On our final episode of Horror-CoMAYdy this year, we’re opening the crypt on a movie that plenty of people love, but it’s harder than ever to get your eyeballs on: the 1988 sequel FRIGHT NIGHT 2!! Here to help us put a stake in the heart of our horror-comedy coverage is writer and illustrator (check out her zine Resident Easel), Alicia Berbenick!! Along the way, we dig into the tortured and murder-filled road to this film’s short theatrical run, the loss of Jerry Dandridge and his sexy sweaters, and the innovative and exciting vampiric crew who rise to take his place. All this, plus we introduce the #oogieboogie death to the show’s canon, bad mass hypnosis diagnosis, Mrs. Brewster’s escape plan, bizarre hair concepts, vampire HR, motor oil hair slicks, eagle shrieks, and we sink our teeth into a pretty epic edition of Choose Your Own Undead Adventure!! Dip back into the crypt with us today!!
