This was really fun! I'd definitely be up for part 2, I don't think I ever watched it so it would be a first time watch for me as well. Vampires are able to 'mesmerize' their victims, that's why Amy was easily taken by Jerry. They are also able to transform into Bats, Wolves or Mist. Fun Fact: Chris Sarandon's ex wife is Susan Sarandon. Did you mention recognizing William Ragsdale from Mannequin Two: On The Move?

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. Gonna watch it after dinner. You guys are doing amazing.

Per imdb: It was Chris Sarandon's idea to have Jerry eating apples throughout the film. While researching vampire lore, Sarandon looked at information about bats and concluded, "Jerry had a lot of fruit bat in his DNA."

Stupendous reaction I had such a laugh. I think in some vampire law if the steak is removed from the heart, the vampire can heal itself. And I’m going by one of the hammer House of horror Dracula movies. So when Peter Vincent steaks Dandridge in his coffin. Dandridge pulls the stake out and is fine. Eventually, somebody is going to pull the steak out of evil. Once they took the body away. So that may count for him laughing at the end. As for Dandridge’s roommate. I like to think that he was a ghoul. That’s why he didn’t have fangs and died differently. By melting. Part two is great as well. The Fx in this was truly amazing. Take your CGI and toss it. Give me stuff like this any day. Thanks again guys. Fantastic job.

That's so interesting, I guess we don't know enough about vampires yet. We had no clue they could turn into wolves or mist!

Totally Whatever

He made a great choice, we think it added a cool relaxed feeling to his character like he doesn't have a worry!

Totally Whatever

I just read all of this out loud to Carolyn - she yelled "That's not fair!" when I mentioned the steak being removed. You've answered all of our questions, thank you!

Jeremy V.

Hahaha! Thank god for sun light and decapitation. Ya know… to be sure.🥸

My vampire knowledge comes from watching Bram Stoker's Dracula and playing the board game Fury of Dracula 😁

Jeremy V.

I collect board games. I’m a solo player so I play Fury of Dracula on the app.

And of course, Bram Stoker‘s Dracula (1992) would be a great movie to watch here!

REDR58

I could’ve sworn one of those apples dropped out of mid air with nobody throwing it to him!

I doubt very few people recognize anybody from Mannequin Two 😄 but it and the original Mannequin (1987) were filmed in and around Philadelphia so that’s all I know about it.

The composer for this movie is Brad Fidel, who also did the soundtrack for the Terminator and T2 movies William Ragsdale (Charley) was about 24 and Amanda Bearse (Amy) was 26 during filming. Roddy McDowall (Vincent) who had a 60-year long career is probably most famous for playing “Cornelius” in the 1968 movie “Planet of the Apes” and its sequels. He is also in the very good disaster adventure movie “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972) with Gene Hackman which you should take a look at sometime. The kissing during the movie on TV sounded like a balloon squeaking! According to IMDb, the movies shown in the movie are: The Premature Burial (1962); Count Dracula (1970); Scars of Dracula (1970); Octaman (1971); Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972).
 You ladies have to watch “The ‘Burbs” (1989) movie with Tom Hanks. It’s kind of like this! You are right that Amanda Bearse resembles the woman from RoboCop, Nancy Allen. Allen who had similarly short hair in those movies, was also in the horror/thriller movie Carrie (1976) with Sissy Spacek and John Travolta. And yes, you should watch that movie too! Growing up, I never saw *any* of these 1980s horror movies (even though I was born in the mid 1970s), like Nightmare on Elm St., Halloween, Friday the 13th, nor this one. I don’t know why. So I’ve been catching up a lot of them myself over the last few years. Chris Sarandan was also in the excellent movie Dog Day Afternoon (1975) with Al Pacino and John Cazale (Fredo from The Godfather). Charley’s (very odd) friend “Evil” had a hologram of a vampire biting a woman on his bedroom desk. It’s the curved looking thing about 8-10 inches high and wide and the glowing image inside of it is greenish-blue. You can see it at 20:54 into the movie as Charley enters Evil Ed’s bedroom, it’s on the right side of the screen. As the camera pans to the side, you can see the image in the hologram move slightly. It kind of looks like a small TV behind them as they talk. It’s a real, practical object on set. Edit: it looks something like the unicorn hologram in this video, but of a vampire and much bigger! https://youtu.be/8GxR9EVT-nY?si=VctH1hXvf5MD18dw The pulling the pencil through the hand was a really neat effect! The mom telling about herself being naked in a nightmare and offering Valium to her son is really crazy! Why does the nightclub have a chef? “Rico Suave”??? Haha! That takes me back. Speaking of the big hair, yes Amy, sort of got glammed up as she was dancing with Dandridge. Her appearance does definitely change with makeup and stuff and she looks more mature as it goes o . That’s intentional and it also appears to be the reason why Amanda Bearse was chosen as she was a few years older than Ragsdale so she could portray “younger” and “older.” The sounds of evil Ed as a werewolf dying were really creepy! The makeup effects were pretty good too overall. The creepy bat the Dandridge changed into looked really cool. This was a lot of fun!

@REDR58 😁😁 For some reason I thought they mentioned in a reaction that they watched Mannequin 2 but not the first one.

Great reaction, ladies! So glad y’all reacted to this movie, one of my favorites of the genre. I was 15 when this film came out and it is squarely in my wheelhouse. I wouldn’t be my usual pedantic self if I failed to provide a few notes, so here goes. The Peter Vincent character (played wonderfully by the fantastic Roddy McDowall) was named by combining the first names of horror legends Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. Cushing played Dracula’s nemesis, Professor Abraham Van Helsing, more often than any other actor in history. Along with Christopher Lee (Saruman in Lord of the Rings), he was one of the two major stars of Hammer Films, THE horror film studio of Britain from the 50s thru the 70s. The show that Peter Vincent is shown hosting, Fright Night, is very indicative of the horror host tv shows that populated late Friday and Saturday night viewing on local stations across America from the mid-60s thru the early 80s. The shows evolved in the late 80s and early 90s as local programming was dropped in favor of USA’s Up All Night starring Rhonda Shear and Joe Bob Briggs’ various late night horror shows. I was a huge fan of my local late night horror tv show programming in the 70s and 80s and, later, the national programs featuring Ms. Shear and Joe Bob. From 10 or 11 each Friday night until 2 or 3 in the morning, I was riveted to my tv set watching the various horror hosts cracking wise and playing some real horror gems as well as some gloriously god awful horror films (I’m a big proponent of “so bad it’s good” filmmaking). Regarding the 2011 remake and the 1989 sequel. The remake is tepid and boring. The characters aren’t as interesting and it’s simply not very good. The 1989 sequel, on the other hand, is quite fun. Not as good as the original but I still think it’s a hoot. It was directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (who was one of three actors that played Michael Myers/The Shape in the original Halloween) and one of the stars is Jon Gries (Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite). Unfortunately, it is unavailable in either streaming or blu ray (though Synapse Films is expected to release an official blu ray shortly). There is also a superb documentary on the making of Fright Night, titled “You’re So Cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night.” It takes an in depth look at the making of the film and is available on Amazon.

PS to above: If y’all continue your journey down the boulevard of 80s horror, I highly recommend the following. *Silver Bullet (1985) based on a Stephen King chapbook *The Lost Boys (1987) *My Bloody Valentine (1981) no 80s horror film list would be complete without at least one holiday themed slasher *An American Werewolf in London (1981) *Day of the Dead (1985) the third entry in George Romero’s brilliant Dead series - be sure to catch Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead first *Return of the Living Dead (1985) the best zombie film not directed by George Romero, it was directed by horror icon Dan O’Bannon (the guy that wrote the script for Alien) *The Howling (1981) one of those rare occasions when the film exceeds the book it was based on *Creepshow (1982) great collaboration between two giants of horror, George Romero and Stephen King *Prince of Darkness (1987) the second entry in John Carpenter’s thematically linked apocalypse trilogy (the others being The Thing and In the Mouth of Madness) *Evil Dead (1981) best indie horror film this side of Night of the Living Dead

We really enjoy your extra notes! Thanks also for the incredible movie list.
