Fright Night/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Freud Was Right]]: The entire film is about sexuality and growing up. Amanda Bearse does a yeoman's job of being ''convincingly'' a girl, and as the film progresses, she becomes more and more mature, {{spoiler|until her appearance as a vampire, cooing, "What's the matter, Charley? Don't you ''want'' me anymore?"}} At that point, it's hard to believe it's the same actress. Ed goes through his own sexual awakening {{spoiler|(thanks to Jerry)}} as well.

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Jerry is not eating the apple. ''He's cleaning his teeth''.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Jerry and Billy seem close. ''Very'' close.

** Hell, Charley's mom's first line of dialogue is saying that she thinks a gay couple moved in next door!

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Just about everything Ed says: "You're so cool, Brewster!", "To what do I owe this dubious pleasure?" was apparently pretty popular in the 80's.

** "HIS DINNER IS IN THE OVEN! MMM-MMMM!"

** This also comes with a bit of [[Enforced Method Acting]]. William Ragsdale wasn't allowed to see {{spoiler|Amanda Bearse's}} full makeup until they actually started shooting, and if you look at his face when {{spoiler|she}} turns to attack him, you can see he's legitimately scared out of his mind.

** The scene where Evil Ed shows up under the covers of Charles' mom's bed with a red wig, the wig's [[Narm|pretty narmy]] but the face gives a legitimate [[Jump Scare]].

*** Also when he turns into a red-eyed wolf (a real one), {{spoiler|and then after being stabbed through the heart by Peter}}, he slowly turns back into his human form, and by change I mean being that a near naked humanoid with a wolf's face that slowly morphs back into a human shape which looks [[Uncanny Valley|disturbing and demonic at the same time]] and the [[Hell Is That Noise|the gurgle]] {{spoiler|as he's slowly dying}} will leave an impact on you. In addition to the hand effect of [[Body Horror|solidifying back into a human shape]] as well.

** Jerry's caretaker/[[Ambiguously Gay|partner]] who goes from [[Perpetual Frowner]] to [[Affably Evil]] in a nanosecond of his introduction, {{spoiler|Also the fact that he was really hard to kill and wasn't even a vampire, but hinted to be a slime zombie monster as the graphic death scene of green slime and later sand gushing out of him and rapidly melting/decaying into a skeleton; and giving one last smile as it's satisfied that it managed to scare the shit of out of our protagonists}}.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|Ed after being stabbed by Peter}}.
