It appears that the big Shrek sized wigs over at Dreamworks are not so far far away from their own trip to vampire land. AMC’s Mad Men writer-producer Marti Noxon has been hired to write an updated version of the 1985 horror/comedy Fright Night.

Noxon does at least have a bit of experience with the ole blood suckers, she was also the writer-producer on the Buffy and Angel series’. They say the new version will keep the comedy/horror tone while modernizing the effects.

Producers Michael De Luca, Michael Gaeta and Alison Rosenzweig set up the “Fright” project in May. DreamWorks executive Mark Sourian is overseeing for the studio.

For the record: The guy who played Evil Ed was NOT the same guy from the Milk commercials, BUT..the guy from the Milk commercials WAS the mail sorting alien in MIB 2
