Fright Night

Hellbound

Before Rancho Corvallis, before Charley Brewster, there was New York City—filthy, violent, and vibrating with occult energy.

Set in the lawless underworld of 1970s Manhattan, Fright Night: Hellbound blends vampire horror, pop culture and demonic possession into a blood-soaked tale of survival and damnation.

Having fled Europe, Jerry Dandrige arrives in New York with his familiar Billy Cole, hoping to vanish in the chaos of disco, social decline and anonymity. But when ritualistic murders begin to sweep the city, and whispers of a “vampire killer” rise through alleyways and newsrooms, Jerry realizes something older and far more dangerous is hunting beneath the surface.

As the city spirals into terror, Jerry is forced to confront his thirst, his past, and his fate. Can he stop Hell from being unleashed—or is he merely one of the monsters who brought it here?

Feels familiar but totally new

I really enjoyed this story. It is nice to get more backstory of Jerry and Billy, and to realize that they left a much larger fingerprint on the world than just the little bit we saw of them in the movie. Harbron and Tom Holland make a great team, and this would be a fun movie.
