Day 20 of 31 Days of Spooky — the sequel Hollywood buried before anyone had the chance to see it. Fright Night Part 2 (1988) still deserves a place in the conversation.

A stark black-and-white promotional still styled like mid-century horror photography. A woman in a 1950s dress sits frozen in terror, head tilted back, mouth open in a ragged scream. Her face and blouse are streaked with a dark, dripping substance that catches the studio light like ink. Her wide eyes are locked on something unseen above her, suggesting a monstrous presence beyond the frame. The careful studio lighting, vintage hairstyle, and period costuming give the image the air of a censored film relic, its gore shocking not for its detail but for how violently it contradicts the aesthetics of the era.

CASTLE SINISTER (1932)
A profoundly lost early British talkie and yet another killer ape film. So lost, that all that remains are trade announcements. One BFI's most sought after films to recover.
