Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi

Eduardo Rodriguez on “New Blood” and Vampires in Romania


Listen Later

In this episode, Tony chatted with director Eduardo Rodriguez to sink his teeth into Fright Night 2: New Blood, a stylish reimagining of the cult classic with a seductive twist. Filmed in the shadowy corners of Romania, this American indie horror follows high schooler Charley Brewster and his friends on a study abroad trip gone terrifyingly wrong. Their professor, the alluring Gerri Dandridge — played with icy charm by Defiance’s Jaime Murray — isn’t just grading papers… she’s hunting prey.

🎧 Topics covered in this blood-curdling conversation:

  • Eduardo’s experience casting a fresh ensemble and working with Jaime Murray to craft a vampire who’s both elegant and lethal.

  • Behind-the-scenes stories from shooting in Romania — from gothic architecture to eerie landscapes that elevated the film’s atmosphere.

  • The new supernatural twist: a unique ability Gerri possesses that sets her apart from traditional vampires and deepens the film’s mythology.
