Uninvited
Spring Break! Wooooo! A great time to hang out with your buds and catch some rays, man! Meet some babes, and maybe even get on a rich dude's yacht to bust a hang and live the good life! Just make sure that nobody carries on an escaped cat from a nearby high security military lab, because that would probably turn out being very, very bad news. Wait a minute here... if this happened on your spring break, you may just be having a flashback to the 1988 film Uninvited.
Fright Night
Charley Brewster is a normal red blooded American male with a healthy fascination with horror movies. When he isn't trying to get into his girlfriend's pants, he's watching the local late night horror show "Fright Night", hosted by the famous vampire hunter Peter Vincent. One of those late nights, he notices something weird happening next door. His new neighbors are moving their stuff in... but this isn't normal stuff. Amongst the crates and boxes is a coffin, and it goes straight into the basement. Suspecting something is up, he keeps a closer eye on the situation. When a girl he sees going into the house and later through a window being seduced by the neighbor, Jerry (Chris Sarandon), ends up a victim of murder on the 11 o'clock news, he starts to realize that his new next door neighbor might be a vampire.
Evil Spawn
Growing old gracefully... That doesn't seem to happen any more these days. Everyone wants to get some kind of surgery for this, or get some kind of injection for that. Millions of doses of Botox are given each year just to make people feel younger and therefore better about themselves. Lynn Roman (Bobbie Bresee) doesn't want to be one of those people. As a Hollywood actress, she just wants to stay working in an industry that doesn't see her age as an asset.
Prince of Darkness
It would be hard to argue that the 80's horror movie scene wasn't ruled by John Carpenter. The Fog, The Thing, and Christine were a few of the best. Even action movies like They Live and Big Trouble in Little China had some elements of horror. Throw in Halloween from 1978 and you have a career that today's horror writers/directors can only dream of having! I had seen the movies I listed above, but never seen one of Carpenter's more obscure flicks, Prince of Darkness. I can't remember any other movies which focus on the return of the Devil, and since there isn't a chance in HELL of me seeing the most recent Devil movie, I thought I'd give this one a shot.
