Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

Three years after doing away Jerry Dandrige and his other vampires, Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) and Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) are trying to move on and forget about his former life convincing that there are no vampires.

Charley and his girlfriend Alex (Traci Lin) are living at a college campus building but visits Peter at his suite and notices that some coffins are being hauled in to the same building and then Charley experiences some strange people entering the building as well.
Then Charley has a nightmare that a vampiress named Regine Dandridge (Julie Carmen) has tasted a sample of his blood on his neck after cutting himself while shaving but wakes up.
However, Charley feels very sleepy in the day and wears sunglasses quite often whenever it's daylight.
Also, Charley spots Regine and one of her people bringing a guest upstairs to their suite and the guest bound and gagged and is shocked to what he sees as the two people hosting the person are vampires and drinks the guests blood.

He alerts Peter and go to a party hosted by Regine as she dances with Charley.
However, he gives in to her performance and thinks that the whole vampire scene is an act but later on Peter finds out that Regine is Jerry's brother and that she will seek revenge on the two of them for killing him.

In the beginning the film looks like an average disappointing sequel but it really picks up especially after the vampire party sequence.
There's more dark comedy in the flick too including a scene of the vampire's bowling after hours killing the employees working there which almost makes me think of the trashy flick Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama

The acting is well performed by the whole cast. Jon Gries is the comedic werewolf/vampire type character who is very noticeable and well remembered in the film named Louie.
Traci Lin  is also wonderful in her role proving to be a worthy character actress.
We can't forget about Julie Carmen who plays the vampiress Regine as she is great with her lustful and deadly behavior. She's also a great dancer as she reminds me of Mimi Kinkade's role when she played Angela in Night of the Demons.

Blood squirts out of a ladys neck after being bitten by a vampire.
A decapitated head is picked up by one of the vampires at the bowling alley.
There is blood all over Regine's face when she does a dance on the Fright Night TV show.
A vampires face goes into decay and crumbles.
A body built vampires stomach is torn open and maggots dump out of him.
Another one's face melts.
Regine the vampiress burns to death

Tommy Lee Wallace seems to know his craft for this flick but he doesn't have the same pace as Tom Holland but oh well whatever.
He has great location scenes like in the campus when its foggy while Julie Carmen's character comes to William Ragsdale's character's dorm room as it was very amusing.
Also, he is good at timing the dark comedy with actor Jon Gries especially when he tries to come on to Traci Lin's character Alex as he portrays the goofy werewolf while the other characters he directs are intimidating.
His best direction was with William Ragsdale and Julie Carmen during their scenes together. 
Carmen is great with her lustful and deadly behavior towards Ragsdale's character.
Wallace was noted for his work in the non related Michael Myers sequel Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Brad Fiedel is back again for composing the music here and uses some of his previous work to prove this is indeed a true sequel which is what I like. You couldn't find someone better.

More 80's soundtrack artists as well as some from the 60's like "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett during the bowling scene with the vampires.
We also have a cover song of "Come to Me" which was from the original movie during the closing credits but this time performed by Deborah Holland. She is marvellous with her vocals in the song.
