From STYD comes word that Screen Gems has ditched plans for a remake of classic 80s vampire film Fright Night.
Apparently, the studio couldnt find a script they liked after fielding several pitches, so the update has been shelved for now. This move comes right after the remake of Near Dark a vampire western was also put on hold.
The original film followed a young man who was convinced that his new neighbor was a vampire and recruited the help of a classic horror actor turned rundown cable show host to help him prove it.
