Fright Night on Channel 9

From 1973 to 1987, Fright Night was a fixture of the late Saturday evening schedule on independent New York television station WOR-TV. A genre fan''s nightmare come true, the modestly produced showcase featured horror films both classic and obscure, from Universal''s Frankenstein series to such lesser-known delights as Beast of Blood and The Living Coffin.

Fright Night suffered no delusions of grandeur and never claimed to be anything more than what it was: great entertainment on a Saturday night. This thorough if affectionate tribute to Fright Night''s glory days includes a complete listing of all films shown on the series, as well as discussion of WOR-TV''s other horror movie programs from the 1970s and 1980s. Also featured are interviews with the major surviving players, including Fright Night creator Lawrence P. Casey.
