Fright Night ( 1985)

Finding the Help in Peter

Charley went to the local tv station and waited for the "The Great Vampire Slayer".

When he saw him he called out to him "Mr. Vincent, Could I talk to you?" asked Charley as he reached for Peter.

"It's very , very important" said Charley as he walk with Peter.

"What do you want me to sign?" asked Peter. carrying his suitcase.

"Pardon me ?" asked Charley.

"You do want my autograph , don't you?" Peter asked turning to Charley.

"No" said Charley. " I was curious about what you said last night on Tv, you know, about believing in vampires" said Charley.

"What about it?" questioned Peter.

"Were you serious?" asked Charley.

"Oh, absolutely. Unfortunately , none of your generation seems to be." answered Peter.

"What?" asked Charley.

"I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers anymore. All they want are demented madmen hacking up young virgins," said Peter in an almost mad tone. "If you will excuse me....." said Peter turning to leave.

"I believe in vampires." said Charley. And that got Peter's attention. And he return to where Charley was.

"That's nice," said Peter padding Charley in the check. "If only there had been more of you, my ratings might have been higher" said Peter and turning his back.

"I have one living next door to me" said Charley walking behind Peter.

"Would you help me kill him?" asked Charley. Peter eyes grew in horror.

"Pardon me?" said Peter. Who now thought Charley was insane.

"Remember the murder of that girl?" questioned Charley.

"Yes" said Peter.

"The guy next door to me did it. He's a vampire" said Charley.

"If this is a joke , I'm not amused." said Peter.

"I am not joking. I am deadly serious " said Charley grabbing Peter by his arm. Peter look at him.

"Oh , well . If you will excuse me..." said Peter walking fast.

"Mr. Vincent , you have to believe me. I'm telling  the truth . You just said you believe in vampires"asked Charley. As Peter was putting his things in the truck of his car.

"I lied. Please! Leave me alone" said Peter and waving for Charley to move out of his way.

"You have to listen to me. The vampire tried to kill me last night and now he's stalking my friend. And then he trashed my car when he didn't' succeed. "said Charley. As Peter got into his car.

"He's going to be back after me and her tonight. And if I don't get help he's gonna kill me. " said Charley. Peter roll up his window.

"Mr. Vincent , please ! Listen to me." begged Charley. But Peter pulled away from him.

"No! Wait! Mr.Vincent , wait! " said Charley, Peter drove away quickly and left Charley there.

***************************
I saw Ed aproaching Charley's house and went running after him.

"Hey,Ed" I said.

"Looks , who showing her face, were where you?" he asked.

I was about to answer , but he stop talking when Amy came along in her motor bike.

"What are you doing here?" asked Amy. "Hey , Millie"

"Hi. Amy" I responded.

"What about you ? I thought you just dumped him." said Ed.

"None of your business" said Amy , running to Charley house.

"You do like him!" said Ed.

And I just giggle and follow them inside.

"Anybody home?" asked Amy , as we entered Charley's home.

We ran upstairs to Charley's room and were hit by the surprised that we encounter. The room was decorated in a anti vampire style.

"Hi" said Amy.

There were a lot of candles lighten up  and crosses. And there was Charley who was sitting in his bed craving a stake.

"Wow" we said.

"What's all this for?" asked Ed, walking around the room.

"Self-defense. Not that I'll need it" said Charley, looking serious."He'll be dead before nightfall.

"Who will be?" asked Amy.

"Dandridge. I'm waiting for the guy he lives with to leave , and then I'm going to go next door to find his coffin and then pound this through his heart." said Charley rinsing his head.

"Are you crazy?" I said.

"That's  murder , Charley" said Amy , who was now closed to Charley, face to face.

"You can't murder a vampire , Amy." said Charley , to Amy's face. "They're dead remember "said Charley.

"If I knew you were going to act this crazy, I might stayed home" I said as I turn to the door. 

"Listen . Listen, I just taped this ." said Charley, grabbing my attention and we all look to Charley.

"Amy , Millie ! What are we going to do?" Ed asked.

"I don't know , Amy , but I'm leaving "I said. But Charley stop me.

"This is just like Fright Night " said Ed.

"Now for the 2;00 news" said the announcer. "Another body of a African American  teen , was discovered early this morning in the back of Sheridan ....

They all stop and look at me , their faces were serious.

"See that ? I don't have any choice. Somebody has to stop him." said Charley.

"Charley, its going to be dangerous going into that house all alone , isn't it?" asked Amy scratching her head. " I mean , you're gonna need all the help you can get , right ? Somebody like Peter Vincent , for instance?" asked Amy.

"Yeah" said Ed.

"I tried him already." said Charley.

"Well , why don't you let us try again before you do anything ." suggested Amy.

"There's not enough time, Amy!" said Charley.

"What if you go into that house alone and he gets you?" asked Amy. Getting closer to Charley."Who's gonna stop him then? asked Amy.

"Yeah , then he'll be able to suck his way through the entire town, " said Ed. He look out of the window and said " But it wouldn't be much of a loss."

"Charley , it's going to be dark soon. You don't want to go into that house then , do you?" asked Amy.

"No.You're right there." said Charley. Who now look to worried. "All right , we'll try him again." said Charley.

"Great!" said Amy."Now you promise you're not gonna do anything till you hear from us , okay"said Amy.

Charley shook his head.

"Okay. Come on." said Amy, Ed was already ahead of us and I was about to follow them out. But something got me.

I saw Behind me and I saw it was Charley.

"Just be careful , Millie , ok" said Charley pulling into a hug and I hug him back. 

"I will , I promised " I said. And then I left to follow Ed and Amy.
