Once Bitten - brilliant performance by Jim Carey


/sarcasm

 

[VaqueroTD]

This will probably be my favorite once it comes out

I had a harder time picking my Top 6 vampire movies than zombie movies, lol (in alphabetical order):

Blade

Bram Stroker's Dracula

From Dusk Til Dawn

Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

Let The Right One In

Underworld

Honorable Mention

Lifeforce

I thought it best sneaking this one in before @timb2 and I burn the thread down. It's campy, low budget and not the traditional vampire film in any way but it has its moments.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Bram Stoker Dracula (Gary Oldman)

Most closely followed the book...

 

[dreghorn2]

Only Lovers Left Alive

A very cool take on vampirism. The most 'realistic' portrayal on the subject i've seen.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It's not like the zombie genre for me.

I couldn't boil it down to just 3 or 4 favorites.

 

[Fredbeard]

Most of mine have been mentioned except for near dark

 

[CouchCoach]

Fright Night because Chris Sarandon played that so well and Salem's Lot for the depiction of the vampire, straight from Nosferatu.

There was a series, The Strain I think, that had a good vampire.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Nosferatu (1922)
This one's really old, but it's good.

As a young lad, the scene in Salems Lot with the kid trying to get the other one to let him in....creepiest thing ever.
Watched it a year or so back and the movie is not as good as I remembered it but that scene still is creepy.

Yep, ..With Salem's Lot,,(the original) the floating Vampire kid scratching the window pane, surrounded by eery fog right outside the window.

- The creepiest scene in entire movie was the sheet covered body in the coroner's ..slowing rising while David Soul prayers with a crucifix ..and shivers in sheer fear

... the another scene i liked was the grave digger in Cemetery scene which a curious, nutty grave digging worker decides to jump
into a deep grave hole with the coffin late a night ... you can imagine what happens next.

Lost Boys, obviously. Where else do you find a greased up buff guy playing sax?

Lost Boys, obviously. Where else do you find a greased up buff guy playing sax?

I guess nowhere else, but not sure I want to find that. That grease, that mullet, the pink pants, it's just too much for one person to handle.

 

[Hoofbite]

Not my favorite, but awfully underrated.

It isn't as good as when we were kids, but yeah, that seen is still good...and there is the nostalgia factor.

Do you believe that a house can be evil?

Watched "Dracula A.D. 1972".

Not sure how I missed it up until now.

It was like the 6th film in the Hammer vampire series and was sorta ho-hum.

Seeing Lee and Cushing together is always a win.

The timeline the film follows is out of whack with the earlier films.

Not seeing Lee wander around in the "modern" world was a miss in my opinion– he basically sticks to an old church setting.

One positive were the early 70's scenes of London– a very period look.
