This exclusive live table read is scheduled to take place on April 20, 2024, in Burbank, California.
"Fright Night," a 1985 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Tom Holland, follows the story of teenager Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) who discovers his neighbor Jerry Dandrige is a vampire and seeks assistance from a TV show host turned vampire hunter to stop Jerry's reign of terror.

The live reading will be under the direction of legendary genre director Tom Holland and produced by Table Read’s Shaan Sharma, Mark Knell, and Jack Levy.
Director Tom Holland expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming reunion, stating, "I am thrilled to bring the original Fright Night cast back together once again with some very special guests for a reading of the film's script for the Table Read Podcast. It will be a night of screams, memories, and fun for all.”
Mark Hamill, equally thrilled about his involvement, commented, "I'm really looking forward to the table read, not only because of my love of Fright Night, but for the chance to play Peter Vincent & honor the legacy of the great Roddy MacDowall. I shared a dressing room with Roddy while doing a TV movie called Earth Angel & I'll never forget his wit, charm & kindness, not to mention his memories of the Golden Age of Hollywood. I will treasure my experience with him forever & am humbled to join the wonderful original cast for this unique event."
Christopher Sarandon added, “This ‘Fright Night’ table read is, in many ways, a dream come true. While we cast members have remained close friends for years since the original shooting of the movie, the idea of sitting down and re-creating our work on this iconic and enduring work by writer/Director Tom Holland is almost too good to be true. I’m counting the days!”
