Fright Night 2: New Blood
The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital HD in both rated and unrated versions on October 1, 2013. The rated version runs 31 seconds shorter, with 5 cuts of explicit gore and nudity from the scene in which Gerri lures a local woman into her lair. The DVD and Blu-ray feature identical extras: an audio commentary with director Eduardo Rodriguez and producers Alison Rosenzweig and Michael Gaeta, "Fright Night" webisodes and a "Dracula Revealed" featurette which includes interviews with principal cast and crew members.
Fright Night
Holland wrote the film for himself to direct, in part because he was so disheartened by the film that was ultimately made from his previous screenplay, "Scream for Help", and he'd developed enough of clout from the successes of his screenplays for "Class of 1984", "Psycho II", and "Cloak & Dagger" that the head of Columbia Pictures said, "Let's take a chance on the hot screenwriter kid," not figuring that "Fright Night" would be as successful as it ultimately became.
