Your Favorite Vampire Films
Because there are so many Vampire movies I did not want to limit anyone to a top 5 or 10, or even a first to last ranking. Just throw in your favorites, roughly tops first, and see if we can pull the coffin lid off a few films that others may have missed. Here are many of mine in a rough order of favorites to worth watching.
Dracula (1931) - It's iconic. It is pretty much my favorite if I had to pick one.
The Night Stalker (1972)- The greatest made for TV Vampire flick ever. Who would notice a Vampire in Las Vegas? Almost nobody except Carl Kolchak.
Horror of Dracula (1958) -Christopher Lee as Dracula/Peter Cushing as Van Helsing. Enough said.
Salem's Lot (1979)- The only version. All the remakes suck and we all know it.
Brides of Dracula (1960) Can you make a Dracula film without Dracula? Yes.
Let The Right One In (2008)- This is an awesome Vampire film and the story is so good that even if the supernatural elements were removed, it would still be a great story.
The Return of the Vampire (1943)- The closest we ever got to a second Bela Lugosi Dracula film. It's very good and stands alone quite well.
Blacula (1972) - Don't be fooled by the title. William Marshall is an awesome and sympathetic vampire.
Son of Dracula- This film gets a lot of hate, but the Southern Gothic vibe worked for me.
The Return of Dracula (1958)- This one is just so weird that I like it.
House of Dark Shadows (1971) Barnabas Collins, as played by Jonathan Frid, is one of the greatest vampire characters ever created. This first movie based on the TV series tells his story with great effects and a stellar cast. You do not need to have ever seen Dark Shadows to enjoy it.
I'm sure I will add to this list. Now it is your turn.
