Jerry Dandridge

Jerry Dandridge is a master vampire from the 1985 film, Fright Night.

Early Life
He was at least a thousand year old vampire before he moved into a small town in the United States. He had a vampire sister named Regine Dandridge. Sometime between the events that turned them into vampires and the time Jerry moved to a small town, they went their separate ways. With his man servant, Billy Cole, Jerry fed on the blood of women who crossed his path or in some cases, called them in via mail-order service.

Jerry Meeting Charley Brewster
Once Jerry moved into a small town, he was followed and stalked by a high school student, Charley Brewster. Charley had called the police on him and annoyed Jerry in various other ways. Jerry charmed Charley's mom to invite him into their home, much to Charley's horror. Later on that night, he broke into their home without being detected. Jerry tried to negotiate and intimidate Charley to leave willing enough alone. But Charley refused.

Jerry vs Charley
Jerry tried different methods of intimidation from going after his girlfriend and destroying his car. In Jerry's eyes, Charley started a war that Jerry was prepared to finish. Charley went to seek out a movie star who was only known as Peter Vincent, a character he played that was in vampire horror films who killed vampires. With his help and after a lot of convincing, he helped Charley expose Jerry as a vampire. Jerry then made his move. He turned Charley's best friend, Edward "Evil Ed" Thompson and his girlfriend, Amy, into vampires.

Jerry's Death
Later on, Charley convinced Peter to join him in hunting Jerry. After a battle that lasted all night long, Charley and Peter killed Jerry a long with his demonic man servant. Amy was restored back to being human. The only fatality in this battle was Evil Ed.

Jerry's Legacy
Sometime after his death, his sister Regine, tried to avenge his death, only to meet her end at the hands of Charley and Peter.
