Since the remake of Fright Night slipped into theatres, the question on every fan’s mind has been the same … “Where the hell is the Blu-ray of the original?” Sit tight, kids! It sounds as if an announcement is on the horizon.

The initial word on this comes from the Blu-ray.com forums (so take that for what it’s worth), where the moderator there has posted the following:

“The November 8th Blu-ray debut of director Cy Endfield’s and special effects master Ray Harryhausen’s 1961 science fiction/fantasy classic, Mysterious Island, will be followed by a new release on the first Tuesday of each month. Scheduled follow-up on December 13th is the original Fright Night (1985), the horror/comedy cult favorite written and directed by Tom Holland and starring Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall.”

Yes, that’s not very much to go on, but we have heard enough insider rumblings to lend the statement some credibility. We’ll let you know what we hear officially soon!
