David Tennant plays Peter Vincent, a Chris Angel-type Las Vegas magician.

Original movie plot: Peter Vincent was originally a washed up old actor who hosted a late night horror movie show called "Fright Night." Roddy McDowall played him as a sad and fearful shell of a man who finally redeems himself while helping the main character, Charley Brewster, vanquish a real life vampire who has moved in next door and begun killing his friends and assorted prostitutes.
