A Hora do Espanto 2

Soon after the filming was wrapped up, Roddy McDowall and Fright Night creator Tom Holland were scheduled to meet with Live Entertainment chairman Jose Menendez to discuss making a third film, but plans died with Menendez, who was infamously murdered by his sons. As a direct consequence of this horrific tragedy, Part 2 ended up losing its planned countrywide distribution and playing only in one LA and another NY theater, which directly resulted in its poor box office results (even though its per-theater results were pretty good) and being released almost straight to video. Since all of the movie's planned promos and ads were canceled as well, most people never even learned of the movie's existence until eventually noticing it at their local video store.

Vampires cast no reflection and therefore are invisible in mirrors. TV video cameras use mirrors. Regine's vampire performance on Fright Night should not have been viewable on TV.

The Swedish version is cut by about four minutes. Scenes excluded are the maggots coming out of the ghoul's stomach, Belle's death scene is shortened, and Regine's death is also cut in some places. Furthermore, Richie's death is also shortened to exclude a sequence of him being burned by holy water.
