Biography
Fright Night (1985)
Jerry 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 Dandrige. Sometime between the events that turned them into vampires and the time Jerry moved to a small town, Jerry and Regine 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.
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 then tried to negotiate and intimidate Charley to leave well enough alone, but Charley refused.
One night, "Evil" Ed Thompson, Charley's best friend, pranked Charley in front of his girlfriend, Amy, by pretending that he had been bitten by a vampire. The two argued, then Ed took a shortcut. Ed then was stalked by Jerry who bit him, which then transformed Ed into a crazy and violent vampire.
Jerry tried different methods of intimidation from going after Amy and destroying Charley's 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 that he played in vampire horror films where he killed vampires. After a lot of convincing, Peter helped Charley expose Jerry as a vampire. Jerry then turned Amy into a vampire.
Later on, Charley convinced Peter to join him in hunting Jerry. After a battle that lasted all night long, Charley and Peter killed Jerry along with Billy and Amy was restored back to being human. The only fatality in that battle was Evil Ed.
Jerry's Legacy
Sometime after Jerry's death in Fright Night, Regine Dandridge, tried to avenge his death, but met her end at the hands of Charley and Peter as well.
Fright Night (2011)
In the 2011 remake, the plot was relatively the same as the original, though with a few differences: Jerry was at least 400 years old rather than 1,000, did not have the ability to transform, and was also not served by anyone, so Billy Cole made no appearance. Jerry also committed crimes not in the original such as killing a family because he suspected that their teenage son was spying on him.
