Wow....I feel so bad for them. They were trying so hard to have another hit they totally sold out. I don't think Peter Wolfe would have allowed this if he was still in the band.
I loved this movie. I remember watching it on cinemax when I 8 years old in 1986. It inspired me to be a vampire for halloween that year. The remake however, was so/so at best.
I know Tom Holland wants to get a special edition of this film to be made, he wants to do a commentary, interviews and have this music video on there. you would think with the crap that is the remake out they would do that to capitalize on it
Keyboardist Seth took over vocals when Peter Wolf left the band to pursue a (unsuccessful) solo career! This was the first works of the band minus Wolf. I actually think the band had a great sound...but the public wheren't so pleased. Great song, great video!
@mexicancomic13 Peter Wolf' solo career was "unsuccessful"!?! Who told you that drivel? His first album after leaving Geils was "Lights Out", which yielded a #12 US Hot 100 & #11 Dance chart hit in the title track, & 2 songs that hit #22 & #26 in the MSR charts. Geils one album followup without Wolf was the lackluster "You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd", which only had one single chart, "Concealed Weapons", & that just made it to #63. "Frigth Night" scraped it's way to #91 for the band.
if they were to be fright night part 3 i would like to see rob zombie to direct it and get chris sarandon as the vampire killer to go after vampiress angelina jolie with michael cera at chris's side the great idea of angelina as a vampiress she easily could be the daughter of regine dandridge and have julie carmen as chris's vampire killing wife and micheal cera as the son and to see william ragsdale and amanda bearse as a yuppie couple .
If you like Fright Night, check out the Swedish 2006 film Frostbitten. It's a black vampire comedy in the same style as Fright Night and Fearless Vampire Killers
dis movie made me turned on ....esp any JERRY scenes .....when he is half naked or being touched by dat gerl.....makes me wish i was that gurl......... huhu!!!
I am still a huge fan of JGB. Never seen the video before. Saw them many many times live & owned all their music. First time in 1973. This song and video Sucks! How could they even make this song & video. Seth tries to act like Peter Wolf. You a background singer Seth not a frontman. Peter was the juice and center of the band. How embarrasing! You are right Noctum69.
@74pbg I was looking forward to the remake a lot but it doesn't sound like it's gonna be awesome... I wanted them to hire Chris Sarandon as Peter Vincent! That could have been an interesting touch, as he's an awesome actor.
@leerey14 This is the beating of a dead horse -- though I will admit "Fright Night" was definitely better than "You're Getting Even". Everything else they did, however, rocked!
Delightful little oddity from 1986, and one of the VERY few places to hear the very short lived post-Peter Wolf J.Geils Band. (Their one album has been out of print for decades). Still, must admit there was a reason the band didn't make it without Peter.
Thank you very much for posting this! This was the very first "Movie Premiere" we attanded when I was a kid. They gave away free plastic fangs!!! I enjoyed the movie. It's great to hear this song & watch this video again.
I remember this song from the movie Fright Night. I like it. I always wondered why I never heard it on the radio. You would think it would be played non stop on Halloween. All I ever hear on Halloween is Thriller and Monster Mash.
I thought I recalled a "Fright Night" video by J Geils Band. It wasn't played a lot though. Seth did a nice job and the soundtrack was one of the better ones for a movie. What I thought was interesting was that the stars of the movie "Fright Night" never did a cameo in the video aside from movie clips. My guess is that it was filmed in Boston and it wasn't easy to get the stars together. I wish Geils and Wolf would put together a DVD with all of their videos on it. Geils & Wolf should tour.
This vid is so wonderfully "Eighties"...And it's worth noting that Peter Wolf had already started on a fairly successful solo career by the time this track was released. Still one of my favorite movies and soundtracks from that decade.
I loved this song when I first listened to it, in 1997! I did rent this VHS, and I DID love the movie, and I DID love this song!!! Just after the sentence spoke by "Evil" Ed, this song comes... Thank you so much for posting this!!!

Before BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, there was FRIGHT NIGHT.
Think about it! What are those two male vampires doing living together in one house which only has one coffin. Do the math. Go figure.
Also, how come Mr. Vampire, Jerry Dandridge is passionately stalking Charley Brewster even entering his bedroom?
And how come Mr. Vampire, Jerry Dandridge seduces Charley's friend Edward "Evil Ed" Thompson in order to bite him hard?
