- I didn't like Fright Night 2 quite as much as 1. While I agree that 2
- was pretty good, some parts were kind of silly (the bug man for example)
- I felt that No.1 was actualy more realistic when it comes to a modern
- vampire trying to maintane a low profile. The vampire was a stay at home
- that acted like a good neighbor. Everyone (except Charlie) thought he
- was an O.K. guy. F.N. 2 had the vampire showing herself on national T.V.
- and living in a penthouse suite which had constant parties.
