YMMV / Fright Night 2: New Blood

Go To

  • Complete Monster: The vampiress living under the assumed name "Gerri Dandrige" is none other than Elizabeth Báthory, the blood countess. After being turned, she acquired a body count in the hundreds over the centuries, as well as frequently bathing in the blood of her victims to restore her youth and beauty. In the present day, she works at a university in Romania for easy access to new prey, in addition to engaging in frequent hunts elsewhere and luring women to her apartment to drain their blood. When she discovers that Amy's blood has the power to make her impervious to sunlight, she turns her and arranges for her to kill her boyfriend Charlie as part of the ritual. While she didn't become a vampire by her own choice, there is no indication that Gerri feels anything other than joy at being a monster.
  • Fridge Logic:
    • Gerri is shown draining the blood of one of her victims so she can bathe in it and restore her youthful appearance. The thing is, maybe thirty minutes before in-universe she was shown to look exactly the same before her rejuvination, making it rather weird that she would suddenly turn into an old hag when she never demonstrates such rapid aging at any other point in the film.
    • Could be explained away as her being late to do the bathing ritual, she probably has to do it within a certain amount of time after previous bath and just missed the grace period when she aged.
