"Fright Night: Resurrection" continues the 1985 classic horror franchise with a relentless new chapter, it's a balls-to-the-wall audio feast that proves you can't keep a good vampire down, even after four decades. This ain't your daddy's Fright Night - it's a visceral, pulse-pounding continuation that'll make your earbuds bleed.

Picture this: It's 2024, and Rancho Corvallis is about to get a rude awakening. Jerry Dandrige, that suave bloodsucker we all love to fear, is back with a vengeance and a thirst that'll make your blood run cold. And hold onto your blood bags, because Chris Sarandon (Nightmare Before Christmas / Princess Bride) himself has resurrected his iconic role, bringing that silky-smooth menace that made Jerry unforgettable.

But the thrills don't stop there. Master of horror Tom Holland (Child's Play / Thinner)  returns to write, direct, and executive produce, ensuring this revival has the teeth of the original and then some. With Holland at the helm, you know you're in for a wild, terrifying ride.

From the mind-bending sound design that'll make you swear Jerry's breathing down your neck, to performances that'll chill you to your core, "Fright Night: Resurrection" is a master class in audio horror. It's got the slow-burn tension of the original, punctuated by moments of gore so vivid you'll be checking your shirt for bloodstains.

So lock your doors, draw your curtains, and prepare for an auditory onslaught that'll make you scared of the dark all over again. "Fright Night: Resurrection" - because in Rancho Corvallis, the night is about to get a whole lot frightier.
