Fright Night logo showing blood dripping from the lettersContinuing our new Horror strand with classic body horror from the 1980s, this horror classic is both hilarious and terrifying, in equal measure - with a killer soundtrack to boot!

American tourists David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. David awakens in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray. Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter) to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital...

Join us as we take a trip down body horror land and marvel at the special effects that made innovative use of prosthetics. Beware the moon!
