The film's scheme follows young Charley Brewster who accidentally discovers that his next-door neighbour, Jerry Dandrige, is a vampire. When no one believes him, Charlie decides to get Peter Vincent, a Vampire TV show host, to try and stop Jerry and that is when the fun really begins. Jerry Dandridge played by Chris Sarandon plays his character with real relish in his many-sided performance, so very well, from the debonair bachelor, seducer and blood sucking monster. A pretty funny film, which I believe has stood the test of time.
