And in the world of metal, we're exploring the groundbreaking album "Fear of Tomorrow" by Artillery.

Of course, no discussion of "Fright Night" would be complete without dissecting the characters. Join us as we analyze Charlie's nosy neighbor antics, Amy's self-centered worldview, and the iconic vampire hunter, Peter Vincent, who sent shivers down our spines if we were on screen vampires.
