The song was originally released on the film Fright Night, written by Marc Tanner and Jon Reede, performed by Hunter and produced by Hunter and Mick Ronson. The song plays in the club as Amy notices Jerry Dendrige stalking her and it is an effective addition that perfectly fits the visual. The lyrics are along the lines of a horror which is appropriate for the film. The song was subsequently included on Hunter's 1996 anthology Once Bitten Twice Shy. Not only is the song released in an unusual way during Hunter's career it is also more pop oriented than rock sounding as is his usual production values.

Good Man In A Bad Time
Good Man In A Bad Time
(Ian Hunter)
Inside, closed quarters
Night's calling under blood red skies
This madness, starts burning
The victim of a strange desire
Mistaken, we follow
Restless emotions take you down
Unwilling, still hunger
For lustful pleasures I have found
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
Soft voices, seduce you
A butterfly in a spider's web
Infectious, behavior
You're damned to do it all again (and again and again and again...)
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
Don't cry, darling
I'll be with you
All night, darling
Deep within you
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man in a bad time
