Audio problem: Right before Charley gets thrown into the closet doors, Jerry has him by the throat threatening to kill his mother if she wakes up. In the shots of Charley trying to free himself of the grip, Jerry's lips are moving but no sound can be heard. (00:28:15)
Fright Night (1985)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Tom HoIland
Starring: Roddy McDowall, Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse
Other mistake: Before the wolf changes back into Evil Ed you can see the black cables pulling the fake wolf across the carpet.
Evil Ed: Kill me, Charlie! Before I turn into a vampire and give you a hickey!
Trivia: The car that Charlie drives belongs to director Tom Holland.
Question: When Evil is walking down the alley, why did Jerry chase after him? Evil didn't believe in the existence of vampires, so he wouldn't have been a threat to Jerry at all.

Answer: Peter's odd behavior at Jerry's house made Jerry suspicious. When he discovers the shard of the mirror on the ground he finds out why Peter was spooked: Jerry doesn't cast a reflection. Jerry then decided that Charley's friends must be dealt with. In Ed, Jerry sees something which would lead him to believe Ed would make a good servant. Jerry turns Ed into a vampire and sets him against Peter while he himself deals with Charley and Amy.
