Nice to see some love for Fright Night.Awesome movie....You're so cool Brewster!
Yes, I mean beyond screen grabs. Most likely production stills or others. I am tryiing to recreate it and close-up pics are scarce.
The entire cast is going to be at Fright Night Film Fest this year in Louisville. I am going to make a similar box to be signed by the cast. Did I mention I'm the Media Coordinator for the festival, which means I also get to interview them as well. Can't wait.

Cool. Will there be photo opportunities? Would be neat to see some pics of the cast posted here.
Yes, the cast is going to be Chris Sarandon, Amanda Bearse, Stephen Geoffrey, and William Ragsale. There are photo ops galore since that is why they are there. We also have Heather Langenkamp from Nightmare on Elm Street.
I am making the Fright Night Vampire Kit especially for the cast to sign. I will also have several there for sale as well.

Hey SchubroProductions. I hope you were successful in re-creating the Peter Vincent vampire killing box from Fright Night 1. If you were, would you be so kind as to post pictures of it here, and perhaps some dimensions you use or think are correct? Would love to see your work. As for the original, the only article I found on it was this:
From the L.A Fright Night Reunion 2008.
Tom Holland on Roddy McDowall: “Roddy was a walking aural history of Hollywood. I had the extraordinary experience the last day MGM [studios] was in existence, Roddy walked me through the backlot – the now Sony studios – and took me through the underground passageways of where they still store the nitrate film and utility pipes. [He] described to me what movies happened on what sets, what affairs happened in what dressing rooms. He told me stories about the silent stars, he went to see the silent stars, he was visiting Mary Astor to the end. He had a love of the business and carried the decades inside of him. He was a child star at eight-years-old and he survived it somehow. My one regret is he would not write his autobiography, he wouldn’t because he knew where the bodies were buried. That he just couldn’t betray the confidences. He was a wonderful, sweet man who cared about other people in the business and gave a great deal of time. He also was a collector. The vampire hunting kit [in the movie], he saved that and that’s at Boston University. In a lot of ways, Roddy was the ultimate fan.”

Me too, I'd like to know if this project ever got finished.
I never got to make the screen accurate Box I really wanted to make. I had to cobble together a quick one to get signed. I would love to see the one at Boston University. Here are some pics from the one I got signed back in 2010.
So I am going back to this project again. So far I’ve acquired my leather covering, brass closures, brass corner protectors, sheep skin shoulder pad, several of the Coptic hand crosses I could identify and am waiting in several more crucifixes and hinges. This project is well on its way.

Any progress on the box?
Not much. Still trying to source some of the crosses.
