I had so much fun with this though, that I find it hard to compare the two because I love them both for different reasons. So for me, I'd say they're about equal. I love Tommy Lee Wallace's style and how this has a much more fun vibe. Too bad it doesn't have the same recognition as the first. It's a pretty great sequel. Any chance I could get a copy of your widescreen version? robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-88515295996677035722013-07-22T04:21:36.734-07:002013-07-22T04:21:36.734-07:00The original was far better, but this is a very go...The original was far better, but this is a very good sequel. I have the HDTV widescreen version that was around a while ago. I can't get enough of these 1980's classics.rennmaxbetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194685520231517099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-54996363942046010732011-11-01T07:44:27.014-07:002011-11-01T07:44:27.014-07:00Ingo: You hit the nail on the head man.

It must have something to do with the rights, I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't be out there for everyone to see. I know they showed it on cable in widescreen sometime back, which is where all the widescreen rips being sold on the internet come from, but I think it was even a slightly different cut than the authentic full frame DVD. Thanks again brotha for giving me a chance to see it again. :)robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-77721235998204826332011-11-01T07:39:55.928-07:002011-11-01T07:39:55.928-07:00A hero never dies: I'm also a huge fan of the ...A hero never dies: I'm also a huge fan of the original and was somewhat shocked they attempted a remake. lol. I was like, there's no way they can top it, and of course they didn't. The original had so many things done right at the time, one of them being the year it was made. I loved Fright Night 2, but still think part 1 is far superior. I think I liked the cool ensemble cast this time around and how sleek it all looked. I also liked how Peter Vincent had a bigger part this time too. I think Julie Carmen as Regine was miscast though. She just seemed oddly out of place. But overall I had a really great time checking it out again after not having seen it in forever.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-3716802138086049152011-11-01T01:49:26.732-07:002011-11-01T01:49:26.732-07:00It really is amazing how this didn`t get a proper ...It really is amazing how this didn`t get a proper release, especially with the remake of the first part this year.

I was a huge fan of the original, I used to watch it over and over as it was the first video I got my own copy of. I did see the sequel theatrically way back when, but couldn't remember that much about it. Seeing it again, I didn't enjoy it as much as you but it's pretty entertaining, just nowhere near the level of the first one for me. Great review though and yes, it is stupid you can't get hold of it very easily.A hero never dieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075070081480449104noreply@blogger.com
