When Charley arrives, his girlfriend Amy Peterson is with him, both looking a little worse for wear. He calls Charley's cell phone and curtly offers him his help, telling him to come back to Peter's place in an hour. Peter goes to his safe and pulls out a sketch on very old paper, obviously drawn at least a few decades ago. They were printouts of photos from inside Jerry's house - and Peter, to his horror, recognizes one of them, An old tapestry with an elaborate coat-of-arms. When Peter goes to pour himself another drink, he catches a glimpse of some papers on his bar - the photos that Charley had tried to show him, he'd left them behind. Irritated, she flips him off and makes a comment on his own performance - "You were early again, in the bedroom!" Peter can't come up with much of a response to that except for a resigned "Fuck you." Ginger goes back to the bedroom in a huff. Ginger tries to cheer him up and chat about the show, but he doesn't want to talk and just makes a tart comment on her performance. He goes off to brood and smoke and drink, staring out the window at the Vegas lights and trying not to think. After that evening's show, he and Ginger have sex, but it doesn't go very well - there's too much on his mind. Peter was shaken by the incident it's on his mind the whole rest of the day. He calls for Ginger to come and show Charley out, refusing to listen. He asks Charley to leave, and when Charley gets more insistent, Peter gets angry. It stirs bad memories discussing theories and lore are all well and good, but Peter wants nothing to do with the real thing. Peter scoffs until Charley starts to pull out his photographic evidence, at which point Peter realizes he's genuinely serious about this. Then Charley drops the act, telling him frankly that he believes his neighbor Jerry is a vampire and insisting that he needs Peter's help. Peter is initially amused, but quickly begins to lose patience with the questions. Charley dives right in, asking Peter how one might kill a vampire.

Upstairs, Peter pours himself some midori and starts stripping off his stage costume before asking Charley what he wants to know. He tells Ginger to bring him upstairs to Peter's penthouse. Peter brushes him off at first, but at Charley's pleading he decides it can't hurt and offers Charley ten minutes. It's then that Charley Brewster appears, pretending to be a reporter for the Vegas Sun there for an interview. When one of the pyrotechnics tricks fails, he breaks character, halts the rehearsal, and storms offstage in a huff. We are first introduced to Peter in the midst of a dress rehearsal for his magic show. So he settled in Vegas and created his new show, which he called Fright Night. His show Vampyric toured worldwide and at the end of its run, he was approached by the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas to headline for them.

Over time he became a household name, not only for his expertise in occult studies, but also as an illusionist. the next time he met one, he would be ready to defend himself. Since then, he's spent his life obsessed with them, researching, preparing. He claims the only reason that he managed to survive was that he had the sense to hide.

Peter Vincent had his first experience with vampires long before the start of the film, when he was only a child. He has ties to vampires that stretch back into his past, ones that he is reluctant to go into but have left him with a deeply-rooted fear of vampires. While he at first comes across as a hack, it's also made clear that he knows more than he is saying. He drinks too much, favoring the bright green melon liqueur Midori. He lives in a lavish, Gothic-styled penthouse suite at the Hard Rock and is sleeping with his assistant Ginger. Peter is also a world-renowned expert on the occult and supernatural, specializing in vampires and Kabbalah, and he has a vast collection of antiques, texts, and supernatural paraphernalia. His show revolves around horror-movie imagery he styles himself as the Master of Darkness, a fearless vampire killer. Peter Vincent is a British stage illusionist working on the Vegas strip, at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel.
