Stephen Geoffreys AKA Evil Ed from Fright Night

Anybody know why this Tony award nominated actor who starred in one of the best horror films from the 80's decided to do gay porn?

On the ATKOL forums years ago someone mentioned he owed money to a dealer so did the porn for some fast money because legitimate acting work wans't coming to him.

He was so cute in the Fright Night movie - physically, I mean - not his character.

He had such a weird Hollywood career trajectory. He claimed for years that it was his twin brother à la Phoebe and Ursula from "Friends." "Buffay The Vampire Layer"! People actually believed that for a time.

The saddest part is that he worked in the worst of low budget porn when he could have carved out a bigger paycheck as a mainstream actor crossing over. He did a LOT of videos over 3 or 4 years so he must have had a huge drug problem if he was doing it to pay off a dealer.

Poor ol gal seems so beaten down now, too - looks way older than he is - rode hard, and put up wet, I suppose.

From what I've read I suspect he had a really fucked up childhood.

He will always be an icon to me because he played Sandy Dennis' son in 976-Evil. She is hysterically funny in the film. One of her last roles.

The clip below features and interview with Dennis about her role at the 2:37 mark

Andrew Keenan Bolger could play him in a biopic for Logo. Call it "Wiz & Dick".

He was my idol growing up, no lie. I wanted to BE him. Loved all his movies, from HEAVEN HELP US to FRATERNITY VACTION to FRIGHT NIGHT, 976-EVIL and all the other not so famous stuff. He even had a small role in AT CLOSE RANGE. I finally got to meet him a couple of years ago at a horror convention. He’s super tiny in person and a bit weathered, but he still has that voice. He hates doing the “You’re so cool, Brewster!” line from FRIGHT NIGHT, though.

Fraternity Vacation is why I visited Palm Springs

Yes R9 that's Sam Ritter aka Stephen Geoffreys.

He loved riding and sucking big cocks.

He was like a young, geeky, slightly femme Jack Nicholson in his ‘80s movies.

I have NEVER understood why Fright fucking Night is considered to be such a good movie. Typical 80s schlock.

^ Because it is. It’s a perfect blend of horror comedy. It’s Hammer Horror meets ‘80s horror. And the performances (and homoerotic undertones) are a plus.

He wanted to fast track his judgeship.

I was shocked to read that he's from my hometown. I wonder in which neighborhood he grew up.

He's simply an artist who has made extensive use of his vessel.

Wasn't fucking fans a side gig for actors before the industry was coded for general consumption?

He's a very close friend of a friend of mine. Or at least he was. He had a terrible time with drug and alcohol addiction, and totally screwed up his life. I'm not sure if he's sober now or not, but I know he tried many times.

I think he may have been in a gang. That might help narrow the neighborhood, r18

At least he's back working in the mainstream movie industry. He did 2 movies in 2017 and has one in post production this year. Hopefully he got the monkey off his back.

But he's a character actor...

I, too, met him at a convention and he's super sweet. I found some of his porn to be kinda hot. He had a nice, big ass and a pretty hole.

r23 drugs and alcohol do that.

Ok Il ask- who's had him?

[quote]He's 54 - looks 54.

That's a rough looking 54.

Welcome to garden gnome life, R54.

I don't think he looks that bad considering his age and that he was a drug addict for years.

He still has his teeth (not sure if they his "real ones" or not though). He has lost most of his hair. But that was happening back in the 90s when he was doing porn. He usually wore something a cap or banana to try to hide it.

Err, bandana, not banana, to hide his balding.

I could always use some extra cash, but I will NOT do porn, no matter how hungry I get !

I wonder how much dick he sucked on the sets of those movies. Especially something like Heaven Help Us (with the huge number of hot guys and that nude pool scene), or Fraternity Vacation (fucking PALM SPRINGS for chrissakes).

@ R23 I bet after Sunday dinner with LA Familia, he brings out the set of Bocce balls and red vino.

Is he POZ?

If I met him I probably would.

He still has his own teeth. But they need some serious whitening.

And the douchebro hat and puka shell necklace do him no favors. A sad attempt at looking younger and "with it".

[Quote] He hates doing the “You’re so cool, Brewster!” line from FRIGHT NIGHT, though.

Can't say i blame the guy.

[Quote] I have NEVER understood why Fright fucking Night is considered to be such a good movie. Typical 80s schlock.

Even if you think the movie is terrible. You can't deny that Chris Sarandon was great in that role.

Maybe a million years ago, I worked in a video store that had a "Mature Audiences" section that wasn't porn, but were more along the lines of "naughty," I guess. It was mostly those dumb European skin flicks like "Emmanuelle in Bangkok" and "Melody in Love." Very rarely was there a naked guy.

And then one day, thank the gay gods, we got something called "Hunk Hotel." The biggest words on the cover were "Starring Stephen Geoffreys of FRIGHT NIGHT." I think I watched it 800 times. He plays the manager of a hotel where a bunch of 80s good looking guys. They were supposed to be frat brothers doing some kind of internship, but they are far too old.

For some reason or another, they all want to get each other naked as much as possible in a non-sexual way. The longest part was a touch football game where everyone's shorts get ripped.

Anyways, Geoffreys spends most of the movie spying on them and cackling about how he is going to "get them." He winds up spanking all of them with as paddle for no good reason. Then he gets in a sauna and they steal his clothes, forcing him to run naked through the resort to his office where they are all waiting for him. He then says something like "Oh well, if you can't beat them, join them" and shows off his dick.

It is possibly the worst acting ever done my someone with actual legit credits.

He's terrible, and obviously drugged up to the gills. The paddling scene is particularly strange.

There was a sequel called "Hunk Boat," but Geoffreys stayed away from it.

If you ever get a chance to see it....DO IT. It's sad that that's all I had to whack to for at least a year.

R43's post is why I love Datalounge.

Found the trailer for Hunk Hotel.

[R43] here.

That is definitely the beginning of the epic Hunk Hotel "Interminable Touch Football Game" scene.

It's odd that the year as listed as 2006, since I was and adult by then. It had to be more like 96 or 97.

Someone else out there has to have seen it to testify to its weirdness.

It's truly bizarre.

I never thought he was attractive, but he sucks a mean cock in his porn films.

I seem to remember seeing a porn scene where he sits on a dildo and then tries out a fuck machine.

It's in his favor that he doesn't seem to have any shame for his porn past. He has readily admitted it all along in a few interviews I've read, long after he stopped doing porn.

I not only have seen Hunk Hotel, but I own it on videotape. Haven’t watched it in years though. I used to be particularly taken (horned up) by the scene with the two guys wrestling on the bed after one of them gets out of the shower. Lots of cock, ass and towel slapping in that scene. The thick, muscular one of the two is particularly hot.

I wonder if Anthony Gallo is his favorite co-star.

Did Stephen hook up with any of the other actors on Heaven Help Us? Kevin Dillon, Andrew McCarthy and Patrick Dempsey were his costars. Any rumors?

He had a particular cuteness to him when he was young and still had hair.

I'll take crystal meth for ten points Bob.

Anthony Gallo would certainly be MY favorite co-star if I was in porn.

He played opposite some pretty bottom-of-the-barrel co-stars, so clearly Le Gallo was his best leading man.

[quote]It's in his favor that he doesn't seem to have any shame for his porn past. He has readily admitted it all along in a few interviews I've read, long after he stopped doing porn.

But didn’t he try to claim for awhile it was his twin brother and not him in the movies? It’s cool that he owns it now but he did try to hide it at one point.

Shame I can only find used copies online. I found this photo that I'm guessing his his reveal scene.

"in the excruciatingly stupid, direct-to-video 'Hunk Hotel,' Geoffreys plays the demented head of personnel at a summer camp and has a nude scene with his rubber ducky in a swimming pool, overacting with such manic intensity that one is almost compelled to kick in the television set. "

More, More, MORE!

I don't believe he's ever told the whole story about why he went into porn. There's rumors that he was a serious drug addict who needed to pay off his dealer.

In one of the Hollywood gossip threads, someone who claimed to have worked on "Fraternity Vacation" had some interesting tidbits. The people you would least expect were dipping in the gentleman pond. He also said there was a big amp hooked up by the pool at the resort they were filming at and you'd hear all kinds of crazy shit going on.

I thought he was adorable in Fright Night & looked super sexy in his porn vids, I bought one, I think it’s called Quick Study: Sex Ed Volume (something). I’m glad he’s doing ok now but agree he looks terrible, poor guy.

Film critic Roger Ebert said that Stephen Geoffreys would have been perfect in any film role as Jack Nicholson's son, this was around the time he reviewed Fright Night. What could have been...

The cast for Fraternity Vacation is insane. It even has the dad from ALF (who got caught smoking crack and having sex with homeless men in a crackdown around 2001).

No legitimate actor with real talent would ever do porn!!

He has admitted that he did the porn but has never discussed it at length. He mentioned it in passing, rather nonchalantly, when interviewed for Scarlet Street magazine back in 1997 when they asked him about what he did during his hiatus from Hollywood. Surprisingly, they did question him about it. It's probably not something he'd like to really talk about, though.

As far as I've seen, he's never claimed it was his twin brother that did the porn instead of him. Marvin Jones, who wrote and produced the aforementioned softcore video "Hunk Hotel" did claim that on his website hunkvideo.com message board (a popular message board for male celebrity and hot men photos and discussion back in the earlier days of the internet). I didn't buy it for a second and I don't think anyone else did either. He was just trying to protect his movie with Stephen. Why would someone buy a bad softcore video when there was dozens of hardcore videos of him sucking and fucking out there.

He's in an episode of 'Twilight Zone' - 'The Elevator':

What does he look like now?

Here's a picture of him from a few weeks ago.

My dad loved “Heaven Help Us”—he was taught by Dominican nuns in the 40s, and he said this was the best take on Catholic boys he ever saw. Anytime Stephen’s character went to jerk off he would bust out laughing …it’s all too real!

My dad laughed, and then he cried.🤣

He was also in an "Amazing Stories" with an actress who seemed like a lesbian, but I guess wasn't/isn't?
