After 26 years, the people are talking about Fright Night again ... and in a surprisingly good way, too. So we thought that in addition to our dueling reviews, you might like to check out what some other critics are saying about the movie.

When last we reported on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Zombieland's Emma Stone had been offered the lead role in the film, but apparently things didn't work out as planned because now she's out of the running and the production start date has been moved to early 2012.

Now that Fright Night is finally out in theaters 26 years after the original, we thought it might be helpful to package some of our past coverage to help you dear readers make your decision on this weekend's movie selections. We even have two reviews to give you different perspectives!

Have our dueling reviews of Fright Night made you even more curious about the flick? So curious you can't wait until this weekend to check it out? Well, thanks to AMC Theatres you can see it early - beginning this Thursday, August 18th, at 9:00 PM!

One man. One woman. Both fans of the original Fright Night. Two reviewers have stepped up to the plate to deliver their thoughts on the remake of the month. Both opinions are pretty damned different. Whose side will you be on?

With all the clips and stills and more that DreamWorks is releasing this week for Craig Gillespie's Fright Night 3D, we're beginning to wonder how much new stuff will be left for us to see when the film opens! In any event, here are a new red-band clip along with another TV spot. Look for Fright Night in theatres on August 19th, 2011.

Ready to wash away that horrible taste left in your mouth by that godawful Kid Cudi music video? Yeah, we are, too. Several new clips from this weekend's Fright Night should do the trick along with a look at the two Jerrys meeting face-to-face! Look for Fright Night in theatres on August 19th, 2011.

Even though Kid Cudi sounds like something we'd see a doctor for, that hasn't stopped the young recording star from delivering a new music video called "No One Believes Me" for the upcoming remake of Fright Night.

You won't find any champagne wishes and caviar dreams in this latest clip from Fright Night. In fact, you probably won't find anyone who even gets that last reference. Christ, I'm getting old. Look for Fright Night in theatres on August 19th, 2011.

With just a week to go before Craig Gillespie's Fright Night remake opens in multiplexes everywhere, DreamWorks has released another TV spot for the film, this one entitled "Lives". Look for Fright Night in theatres on August 19th, 2011.

This writer has been a huge fan of Imogen Poots ever since I saw her as Robert Carlyle's daughter in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's 28 Weeks Later. Since that breakout performance, Poots has established herself rather quickly as an emerging talent on the rise.

If you're a horror fan, chances are you're already very familiar with the masterful special make-up work by legendary effects house KNB. Created by Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger in 1988, KNB EFX Group has been behind some of the most jaw-dropping make-up work in our genre.
