Fright Night
A suburban teen teams up with his skeptical best friend to expose a charismatic new neighbor who’s turning classmates into vampires before the entire town falls under his nocturnal thrall.
“You can't run from evil when it lives next door.”
Synopsis
A teenager becomes convinced that his new neighbor is a vampire but struggles to persuade others of his suspicions. Determined to act, he seeks the assistance of a self-proclaimed vampire hunter and magician.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
