Frightful Commentary...



Thanks to die-hard FRIGHT NIGHT enthusiasts Tim Sullivan and Robg (at iconsoffright.com), fans can now endulge in some long-awaited commentary tracks to this classic film! Why wait for Sony to get around to producing that long-overdue special edition, when fans are already doing the dirty work?

For the occasion, two commentaries were recorded. The first features writer/director Tom Holland with actors Chris Sarandon and Jonathan Stark and is moderated by Tim Sullivan. The second track features Holland along with actors William Ragsdale and Stephen Geoffreys, FX artist Randall William Smith, moderated by Jeremy Smith and hosted by Tim Sullivan. These feature-length commentaries were produced by the fans, for the fans. MP3 files which are completely free for download. Save them to your computer or your portable MP3 player, designed to play along with the DVD you already own. (Think Michael J. Nelson's Rifftrax.) So, dust off that ancient, bare-bones DVD you own and breathe new life into it! Sync 'em up and enjoy!

The linkage goes as follows:

While you're there, make sure to check out the Tim Sullivan-moderated CHILD'S PLAY commentary featuring Tom Holland, the key ingredient noticeably absent from the recent 20th anniversary edition release.

Also, if you missed the FRIGHT NIGHT reunion at this year's Fear Fest, you'll find the transcript of the event HERE.

That's all, folks!
