Music Monday: FRIGHT NIGHT Soundtracks
The 2011 version of Fright Night, a suburban vampire(!) movie starring Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, and Toni Collette, opens one week from Friday, August 19. The soundtrack
will follow on August 29 and features a score composed by Ramin Djawadi.
Before we gear up for the new music, I thought I'd take a moment to pay homage to the soundtrack from the original Fright Night
, which starred Chris Sarandon as vampire-next-door Jerry Dandridge (the Colin Farrell role in the new film). The movie debuted in 1985, which means the music bears a distinctive 80s sound. Notable Fright Night songs such as Brad Fiedel's "Come to Me"
are heavy on the electronics and light on the gothic vibe, but they're still a part of vampire movie history, so I'm offering a small taste. Tease your bangs, grab your boom box, and enjoy.

I love this soundtrack even more than the Lost Boys one -- Give It Up and Armies of the Night are classics! I'm not sure the new one will compete (in my opinion) since I"m such an 80's girl -- thanks for posting these gems, Catherine!
You're welcome, Nicole. I'm glad you enjoyed the flashback!
