Vampires are back to haunt quiet suburban neighborhoods in a new Fright Night comic from American Mythology Productions. Based on the cult 1985 vampire horror movie written and directed by Tom Holland, the series is written by James Kuhoric (Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash) and G.O. Parsons (Willy’s Wonderland film). It begins with a miniseries that starts in July 2026, followed by an ongoing series later this year.

The tale of vampires in suburbia will feature familiar faces and introduce new threats. It is a sequel to the Fright Night: Senior Year miniseries about Charley Brewster navigating his last year of high school while dealing with vampires.

“For me, Fright Night has always been the perfect vampire movie,” Kuhoric said. “It captures the charm, danger, humor, and sensuality that define classic vampire lore while grounding it in real human fear. It’s been my favorite vampire film since the first time I saw it, and getting to expand that world in comics is truly a dream project.”

“Fright Night is one of those rare horror films that balances heart and horror flawlessly. The opportunity to step into that sandbox and explore new nightmares, while honoring what made the original so iconic, is incredibly exciting. Fans are in for something both nostalgic and boldly new,” Parsons said.

Before the miniseries begins in July, collectors can read Fright Night: Senior Year, which is now available in trade paperback and deluxe hardcover. Holland and Jack Ulrich are also working on a Fright Novel titled Aftermath that will reveal more about seductive vampire Jerry Dandrige. It is currently seeking backers on Kickstarter.
