fright night was a very fun movie. it's less concretely intertextual than scream (which iirc namechecked it), but really fun.

cw for somebody pushing another person's sexual boundaries in the opening scene tho
also, unlike scream, fright night was actually a horror movie with comedic elements rather than a comedy full of horror references
i think, if i compare it to scream (being also a highly referential comedy horror movie), fright night is the more enjoyable film in itself, but its overt metatextual elements were weaker (being mostly just allusions to vampire films as a whole; although then again maybe there's a lot of more specific bits i missed because of my limited familiarity with the genre and the film not namedropping specific films)
