I don't know that I'd want a third. Just let it rest. We already got one great film, a surprisingly great remake, a halfway decent sequel...just leave it be. They already squeezed more good out of this franchise than should have been possible

The fact that you called the remake "surprisingly great" makes all of your opinion utterly invalid to me, that hideous mess doesn't deserve the title of Fright Night.

That doesn't even make sense.

Google "fright night resurrection" they have Holland's book cover up on Amazon and a few other sites. Release date is listed as February 2018

I just can't see it working as a book.

And obviously a movie wouldn't work because Roddy McDowell is deceased.

You're obviously not a very big Fright Night fan because that is such a ridiculous statement.

I'm not a fan of remakes in general but the 2011 film was a rare exception. Number one the script was by Marti Noxin. SHe was one of the head writers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Truly a talent. The story did the almost impossible task of remaining incredible true to the original film in story and spirit. Yet at the same time, the change in location (to the outskirts of Vegas) and the brilliant change of Peter Vincent to a vegas magician were enough to make it feel 'new' and not like a second rate rehash. The end result was a film that was certified fresh on rotten tomatoes.
