A fun romp

This is a fun vampire novel even if you haven’t seen the original film. If you have seen it and we’re a fan, this is a real treat.
It adds texture, gives back story on Jerry and his ghoul.

It maybe also explains what Evil Ed did that sets the events of the (now hard to find) sequel, “Fright Night 2” in motion.

Is there another book on the way? I hope so.

Great story with a few editing/mixing issues.

They went back and re-recorded a few lines to cut in, and towards the end of the book those moments pulled me out of the story. a little more finese needed on the editing/mixing. Other than that it was a lot of fun! and yes Chris Sarandon narrating!

CHRIS SARANDON?! Say no more....

Ok, I wasn't wild about the storyline- I'm a huge fan, and I LOVE Tom Holland, but, while most of the book is a pretty close retelling (and expansion) of the movie, there is a weird dangling storyline that definitely threw me off, (sequel?). But I would pay the entire purchase price just to hear Chris Sarandon recite that ONE LINE.... "Welcome to Frrrright Night" with those iconic trilled R's. I screamed out loud when we got to that part- And I'm pretty sure Chris knew people were going to react that way. He is clearly delighted to get to recreate that perfect line. He is the reason that this title really works for me. I'd still like the book if Tom read it himself, but with Chris, I'm in love. Any fan of the movie needs to have this in their collection. Tom Holland, Chris Sarandon, we need more please!

Movie novelization with extra, nice 80's throwback

Chris Sarandon is great as narrator. if you saw the movie, you know this story. But new scenes arevadded in to carry forward the planned trilogy. I hope the sequel books are published, I want to see where this goes.

Very enjoyable

Great book if you liked the movie. Can’t wait for the follow ups! I loved the cliff hanger.

A bloody hood time.

‘Fright Night: Origins’ read by Jerry Dandrige himself Chris Sarandon?! **Chef’s Kiss**

I have always loved Fright Night and it’s great to see the events play out from a different perspective.

everything I imagined

Chris Sarandon hit this out of the park with his narration, it really gives depth as you follow along the story. #FrightNightForever

Expandiendo la historia de la película de 1985

Soy muy fan de la película original (pronto… 40th aniversario) y tengo la novelización original de John Skipp & Craig Spector. Pensaba que este audiolibro era una precuela, pero no. Es una versión ampliada de los hechos narrados en la película original de Tom Holland que enriquece mucho la historia y le da un mayor trasfondo a varios personajes, sobre todo a Jerry y Billy Cole. La narración de Chris Sarandon es impecable y le da un plus para escuchar este audiolibro. Para fans de Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer! Greetings from southern Chile

Fright Night: Origins is the prequel we’ve all needed!

‘Fright Night: Origins’ is here read by Jerry Dandrige himself 🧛🏻‍♂️🦇 !!!

The story the film couldn’t tell and beyond!

Fantastic

Amazing! And having it read by Mr Sarandon was a massive bonus! He is very talented!
