fright night
Saturday, September 29, 2007
Ok, so I am up late and just finished watching the old vampire flick Fright Night, more out of sentimental attachment than anything else. It used to be one of maybe three or four VHS movies I had when I was a kid and because of that I have seriously seen this movie about 50 times.
Now, it being the cheesy B horror flick it is, you'd think I would be used to the camp. But one thing, a small piddling detail, has always bugged me about the ending to this movie. At the end, the hero's girlfriend Amy gets turned into a vampire and can only be changed back by killing the head vampire. I know, I already said the movie was lame. But here's the thing: When she becomes a vampire, somehow her hair turns red and grows much longer, her tits get bigger, and she gets this monstrous over sized mouth. But when the head vampire dies a few minutes later (did I really have to call spoiler there?) she goes back to normal. I have always been fine with the rest of the physical changes for some reason, except for the hair. How the fuck does her hair go from being red, curly and halfway down her back to a very short ugly mousy brown bob just because the vampire that bit her kicks it?
I'm not sure why out of all the myriad things I could choose to find ridiculous about this movie I chose that one, but that has always bugged me since I was a kid.
Maybe its because she looked much better with the red hair.
