Believe it or not, the 1985 horror-comedy ‘FRIGHT NIGHT‘ turns 35 this year! Wow, does time fly! The great thing is that the movie is more popular now than ever! This is a good thing for writer/director Tom Holland as he works on his new project ‘FRIGHT NIGHT 2: RESURRECTION’.
The thing is, the new project that Mr. Holland is working on is not what you think it is. It’s a sequel, yes. But it’s not a film sequel. It’s a Novel. The really cool thing about this book is that he is bring back all the character from the original movie. Including Charlie and Evil Ed!
Speaking with Syfy Wire for a recent interview, Holland had this to say. “I’m still trying, I’m writing a sequel to Fright Night now… I’m calling it Fright Night 2: Resurrection. Well, it’s the only way to protect myself: If you wanna see something done right, do it yourself,” Holland told SYFY WIRE while discussing the original in honor of its big anniversary.
“Of course, Charlie’s back, and so is Evil Ed. I’m bringing back everybody I can. I’m calling it Resurrection because we’ve got to resurrect Billy Cole and Jerry Dandridge. And now I’ll say no more,” Holland says, though he did note that he’s 31,000 words into the sequel.
We will keep you updated as the project continues!
