The First Ever FRIGHT NIGHT Reunion Panel! Fear Fest 2, Dallas TX 3/8/2008

On March 8th, 2008, at the second Fear Fest horror convention in Dallas, Texas, I had the opportunity to host the first full on FRIGHT NIGHT reunion panel! In attendance, writer/director Tom Holland, Chris Sarandon (Jerry Dandrige), William Ragsdale (Charley Brewster), Jonathan Stark (Billy Cole), Amanda Bearse (Amy Peterson), Stephen Geoffreys (“Evil” Ed Thompson), Julie Carmen (Regine Dandrige) and writer/director Tommy Lee Wallace. As moderator, I was given permission to document this historic event!

When Twilight Time was gearing up to do a second pressing of their FRIGHT NIGHT Blu-Ray, I had offered to my dear friend Nick Redman to use this footage, as well as helped organize a handful of other bonus features. Since then, my footage has been re-used repeatedly on every subsequent release. (Without my permission.) So, I'm making it available on YouTube, for all to see, the way it should be. In honor of this classic film, which at the time of this panel didn't even have a proper DVD special edition.

Special Thanks to John Gray at Fear Fest. Icons Of Fright co-creator Mike Cucinotta. John Torrani on camera. And of course, Tom Holland for helping put this whole thing together. After this, many more followed, but this was the first full reunion! "Welcome to FRIGHT NIGHT... for real."
