Behind the scenes images of Stephen Geoffreys having prosthetics applied to him as his turn as the unlucky Evil Ed in Fright Night (1985)

Steve Johnson wished Evil Ed's transformation to be lumpy and 'asymmetrical' in contrast to the transformations in American Werewolf in London and The Howling. Geoffreys would spend 18 hours in the makeup chair as prosthetics were applied to his whole body. He had to take sleeping pills to pass out the time away!

For filming the transformation, Geoffreys would have to sit with his back against the set wall, which had a hole for a puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf arm, as well as holes in the set's floor for another puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf legs. Geoffreys would wear a neck appliance with the wolf head as a 'hat'; he could see out from holes in the neck, and the head was fitted with cable-operated animatronics allowing it to blink and grimace.

Fright Night (1985, dir. Tom Holland) had its costumes designed by Robert Fletcher, most famous for being costume designer on the first four Star Trek films and The Last Starfighter.

However it's a bit hard to know what was bought or bespoke made for Fright Night, I'm surprised there isn't more information on Fright Night's costumes anyway! Roddy McDowall's 'Peter Vincent' mock-period costume definitely was bespoke made. As for his other outfits, such as his floral print smoking jacket, hard to say. Could have been bespoke, could have been rented from period stock or bought.

Chris Sarandon surprisingly is pretty stylish as the vampire Jerry Dandridge despite mostly wearing grey; his turtleneck tweed sweater with the curved sewing pattern is my favourite. His grey leather (or vinyl?) overcoat with wide lapels and red scarf is also surprisingly a style look. And I included his collared shirt and crew neck jumper just for completion's sake. No idea if these were bespoke or bought.

Stephen Geoffreys' as Evil Ed also gets to wear some uncommon fits; first a red jacket with raised shoulders (taking inspiration from Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket?) and collar suspenders, and then wearing a grey and black cavalry shirt under his bomber jacket later on.

Fright Night (1985)

Dir. Tom Holland

Teenage Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) is a horror-film junkie, so it's no surprise that, when a reclusive new neighbor named Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) moves next-door, Brewster becomes convinced he is a vampire. It's also no surprise when nobody believes him. However, after strange events begin to occur, Charlie has no choice but to turn to the only person who could possibly help: washed-up television vampire killer Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall).

Hier die versprochenen vergleichenden Studien zu Fright Night: Die 80er-Vorlage ist halt vor allem erstmal very Eighties. Deshalb wahrscheinlich das Remake. Roddy McDowall ist als vorgeblicher Vampirjäger eher Old School und der Vampir ist nicht ganz so attraktiv, das ungünstige Jahrzehnt aber einmal hingenommen ist es ein ordentlicher, amüsanter Vampirfilm, und sie hatten schließlich die Idee!
