“I kind of wrote to the original “Fright Night” and I wanted to stay true to the plot and the story,” shared Kid Cudi. “We really were inspired to create the song for the movie which was something I had never done before. I didn’t want it to be a cheesy [or a] cliché type of record. I still wanted it to be something that people could play and still absorb it and enjoy it without thinking ‘aw this is for the “Fright Night” movie.’”
Kid Cudi, a budding actor himself, applied some of the chops he’s no doubt learned on the set of HBO’s How To Make It In America. “The video is definitely true to the format of the film, it looks like a mini movie, it’s dope,” revealed Cudi. “I kind of portray a Charlie-like character from the movie. The only difference is I’m a vampire and I don’t like it too much. I’m seeing all these murderous things happening around me and I’m totally unfazed and numb to all of it.”
The Cleveland native did assure that while he could relate to the nocturnal nature of vampires with the late hours he keeps, he’s not going around biting any necks in the process. Instead, Cudi is hard at work undoubtedly preparing a second mixtape and a third studio album Man On The Moon III slated for release sometime this year.
