Poor Bastards of Cinema: Fright Night (2011)

* Don't worry- I won't SPOIL too much *

As things go bad for our heroes in the Remake of Fright Night, things get even worse for a random pedestrian.  With their car stalled, a man crashes into their vehicle on the highway at night...
The guy is put off by this event and...wait, that's Chris Sarandon!  He played the Vampire in the original film.  I wonder why he's in...
Oh crap- I know why he's in this movie.  Prepare to be part of a reference that only people like me get...
Yep, he's dead!  Live by the vampire role, die by the vampire role!
Ignoring the ironic stunt-casting involved, what did this character do to deserve this death?  He didn't even know the characters, let alone know that the lead character was a vampire!

As a bonus, he's the only one in the film that's turned and never shows up again (to my knowledge)!

Up next, a two-part look at some Poor Bastards from Fear of Clowns.  First, a pair of workers who learn that doing a rich guy a favor never works out!  Stay tuned...
