Biography
Charley Brewster was the son of Judy Brewster and an unnamed father. He grew up in Rancho Corvalis, Iowa in the 1980s and attended school at Christopher L. Cushing High School. His best friend was the annoying "Evil" Ed Thompson and he dated a girl named Amy Peterson.

Charley Brewster loved horror movies, and would always take time to watch the late-night horror anthology series Fright Night, which was hosted by Peter Vincent.

Charley's life turned upside down on the day that a handsome new neighbor, Jerry Dandridge, moved in next door. Charley witnessed a woman entering Jerry's house, and the following morning, Jerry and his manservant Billy Cole were emptying large bags of "garbage". Fueled by anxiety and an overactive imagination, Charley immediately suspected that Jerry Dandridge was a vampire. It turns out... he was right!
