As announced earlier this monthThe Arrow in the Head Show – which used to be released through the JoBlo Horror Originals YouTube channel – has migrated over to its own YouTube channel. Today, a new episode of the show was released, and in those one hosts John “The Arrow” Fallon and Lance Vlcek are looking back at the ten dismissed 1988 sequel Fright Night: Part 2, which crashed and burned at the box office with a measly $2.9 million box office haul.

Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, who takes over from the first film’s Tom Holland, Fright Night: Part 2 features young Charley Brewer, fresh out of psychiatric hospital, and the vampire hunting former TV show host Peter Vincent facing more thirsty vampires.

The film stars William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowell, reprising the roles they made famous in the first film, alongside Traci Lind, Julie Carmen, Tom Gries and Brian Thompson.

Here’s some information on The Arrow in the Head Show:

We’re trying something a bit new here on Arrow In The Head. After many years behind the scenes, we’ve decided to take our sarcastic, booze-influenced style into the video age with The Arrow In The Head Show! Hosted by John Fallon aka The Arrow and Lance Vlcek, we will dig into not only the newest horror flicks hitting the big and small screens but also delve into the good, bad, and ugly of horror from the golden ages of the ’80s through the underrated 90s and maybe a bit beyond.

Something groovy and a tad rough around the edges, we are here to talk shop with a drink in hand, a bit of foul language, and a whole lot of heart.

The Fright Night: Part 2 episode of the show was Edited by Lance, and it was Written by The Arrow and Lance.
