History WMG / FrightNight2011

Charley in the original obviously told people of his encounters with Jerry Dandirdge, leading to his therapy in the second move. Kids might of heard Charley talking about Jerry, and as most suburban kids would do when they hear a scary story, they expand it into an urban legend. The Fright Night universe's version of Craig Gillespie heard the urban legend and decided to make a movie around it.

** That's...probably not what he meant by [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar insatiable]].

[[WMG: The film takes place somewhere in [[VampireTheRequiem The World of Darkness]].]]

** The [[OurVampiresAreDifferent mechanics of the vampires]] don't match though. In FrightNight, all it takes to become a vampire is to be bitten by one, as seen when Peter is bitten in the final showdown and immediately starts to smoke. In Buffy, to become a vampire you had to have been fed upon and then drank a vampire's blood yourself. The process was also much slower, taking around a day before you had to start worrying about sun exposure. Could be handwaved that Jerry is a different breed with different rules than your typical Buffyverse vamps though.

[[WMG:The film is actually a prequel to [[FrightNight The Original Fright Night]].]]

Jerry and his spawn fit the vampire model in 30 Days of Night almost perfectly. They're inhumanly strong and super-hard to kill, have fang-filled slasher smiles, and are clearly strong enough to break humans with their bare hands. Both Jerry and Evil Ed had ash-grey skin, and all the vampires have solid black pupils. 30 Days of Night vampires seem like they're a little too strong to get killed by a mere stake, but in fairness, no one in the comic has ever gotten close enough to try. They also share their insane vulnerability to sunlight, as newly created vampires in both works can be ashed by a stray sunbeam in less than a second.

Jerry is a Type One Vampire, similar to Kurt Barlow from ''Literature/SalemsLot''. He has the same powers and vulnerabilities as Kurt, and even reacts to the cross being presented to him faithlessly [[CrossMeltingAura in the same way]]. His spawn are Type Two Vampires, with Ed simply being one that retained more personality than usual. Charlie and his friends even have to form a Ka-Tet in order to destroy him permanently, and by his firm hand and calm in the face of danger, Charlie may even have the potential to be a Gunslinger.

The hapless motorist killed by Jerry after crashing into Charlie turns into a vampire. Begins to research the vampire that turned him and the events surrounding his 'death'. Finds out it was a vampire named Jerry chasing a kid named Charlie Brewster, his girlfriend and mother. Also finds out about Evil Ed and Peter Vincent. Then spends the next few years / decades looking for an exact confluence of details and proceeds to create the best homage to his sire he can muster. The Peter Vincent from this movie, is the same Peter Vincent and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia PTSD]] has removed his memory of these events.

Notably, vampires being staked into ash, Jerry's vampirism being come somewhere from the Mediterranean, and vampires being demon-like and having "souls". Add the fact that Peter Vincent[[spoiler:'s parents could have been Watchers]], it all adds to something within {{Buffy}}, almost like a lost storyline.
