The remake doesn’t do this movie justice. A fun horror comedy of a boy, his crush, and a charming vampire next door. Definitely a must watch

Felt like it was going to be a cheesy 80's horror until about halfway through. Very cool practical effects. Jerry is a creep.

a true 80s horror gem that has everything you’d expect, but what really blew me away were the special effects 🧛‍♀️

Classic 80’s horror flick filled with the right amount of atmosphere, drama, action and gory effects. Still holds up and is a ton of fun.

A great of its era. Has a few issues, but they don’t take from a fun and funny classic. You’re so cool, Brewster!
