Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Fright Night (2011)

Wastes no time letting you know that the nerdy teen spouting vampire theories is spot on: there is, indeed, a creature of the night in suburbia and keeping a low-profile isn't one of his priorities.

This was the perfect combination of ridiculous, funny, and scary -- I’m guessing that Buffy was more than a passing inspiration (having the Criss Angelesque illusionist's self-given title be “Vampire Slayer” only adds to this argument). Made me love David Tennant even more, if that was possible.
