Fright Night is a pretty cool 80's comedy horror family market aimed film.  Some special effects look a bit dated today, and the street, alleyways and some places look studio lot tour fake rather than the real thing, but Fright Night also has some cool puppet creatures that still look really cool more than 30 years after the movie originally came out such as the wolf and its transformations post running into Peter Vincent, the bat that also fights with VIncent looks awesome too.  If you liked Gremlins and haven't seen this, that's the sort of level of puppet special effects you get with Fright Night.  Way better than CGI creatures that appear in films today.
