Incidentally, the same year Fright Night hit theaters, Sheen starred in a movie called The Boys Next Door.
The Story of Fright Night, Holland recounted that he wouldn’t even let Sheen read, as he found him to be just too ridiculously good looking to be believable as the boy-next-door.
But it was there that he met casting director Jackie Burch, who remembered him and got him the script for Fright Night.
Fright Night was originally going to end with Charley and Amy making out on the couch, as Peter Vincent’s show played in the background.
