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 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 series
creator Lawrence P. Casey, who were responsible for the Fright
Night experience.
