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
Principal photography commenced on December 3, 1984 and wrapped on February 23, 1985. At the time of production, "Fright Night" was Columbia's lowest-budgeted film and they did not have high expectations for it, so they were focusing all of their attention on the John Travolta/Jamie Lee Curtis film "Perfect", which they were certain was going to be a blockbuster. "They never even came to the set," Holland said. "I was left alone. It was totally my film without studio interference."
