What's your favourite vampire movie?

Asked by ucme (50047points) July 25th, 2014

This has been asked before, four years ago, time for a revamp.
Something to sink your teeth into, a film that has real bite.
I love the old Hammer Dracula movies, From Dusk Till Dawn was a hoot & one I enjoyed only recently, Let Me In

The only one I remember from my childhood is The Little Vampire. And I remember wondering where Stuart Little was the whole time…

I enjoyed “Let the Right One In,” the Swedish film based on the book with the same name. Dark, yet heroic.

“Fright Night,” a 1980s mix of horror and dark comedy. Roddy McDowall and (the young, sexy) Chris Sarandon have starring roles.

I’m the old chick now, I liked the 90’s film “Interview with a vampire” with Tom Cruise and “The Lost Boys” with the old 80’s/90’s brat pack gang. The “Twilight” movies are insufferable with whatshernames pathetic, constant state of demure, depressed facial non-expression. lol

My favorite one is Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp. The scenery was fantastic, the music was perfect and there were a lot of inside jokes and funny stuff. Apparently I’m one of the few people that liked it. I even went to the theater, again, by myself, to watch it again, because I enjoyed it so much.

Second favorite is Dracula with Frank Langella, from 1979. I was convinced that he was a British actor, because of the way he talked, but it turns out that he’s an American.

I’m with @Coloma on Interview with the Vampire and The Lost Boys. My wife really enjoyed The Hunger. I can’t say that I’ve seen a whole lot of vampire films, though.

I love the old Dracula moves. Interview with the Vampire is probably one of my top picks. Dark Shadows was good in it’s own way. Johnny Depp probably helped. I also liked the Blade movies and the Underworld movies. There are many others I’ve enjoyed over the years as well.

Underworld…Kate Beckinsale helps

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Bela Lugosi with Lon Chaney and Abbott and Costello. C’mon.

Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

“I have crossed oceans of time to find you.”

Gary Oldman FTW, always.

I liked “let the right one in”. The American version “let me in” was good too.

“Near Dark” was one I always liked also.

I almost forgot about this

Put me in the “The Lost Boys” camp.
“Nosferatu” was pretty damned amazing, taken in context.
“From Dusk Till Dawn” was amazingly good fun.

I don’t see a lot of Vampire movies.
I’m not on Facebook.
I don’t eat bacon.
I may as well just stop breathing, these days.

Kardamom's avatar

@ibstubro But do you wear tutus? That’s what people do do these days, at least so I’ve been told.

cookieman's avatar

I would wear a tutu, but given my girth, it would be a threethree.

Kardamom's avatar

Not exactly a vampire movie, although there are Vampires in it, I love The Nightmare Before Christmas.

@cookieman Three Three Hee Hee.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It is severely underrated

ibstubro's avatar

No Tutus. No tweet, no twitter, no texting, no TV channel, no Blu Ray, no flat screen TV. Somebody already pulled my plug but I manage to keep gasping air, @Kardamom. I still enjoy broadcast RADIO, for Pete’s sake!

Lost Boys is my favourite but there’s also Once Bitten – Jim Carrey’s first movie (before Ace Ventura). It’s hilariously funny.

Pachy's avatar

I’m sooooo with @cookieman. “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” isn’t just funny, it’s genuinely scary in a few scenes and has some pretty cool special effects for a 1947 comedy flick. Great dialogue too.

cookieman's avatar

^^ Yes, indeed.

@ibstubro I forgot about From Dusk Till Dawn. That was a lot of fun! So was John Carpenter’s Vampires.

filmfann's avatar

From Dusk Till Dawn is my favorite. Klaus Kinski’s Nosferatu freaked me out the most.

ucme's avatar

I love me some vampire action, good to see some fine examples here from other vamp fans.
Cheers

From Dusk Till Dawn

Lifeforce

Mathilda May was extra nekkie all over than film.

Shadow of the Vampire

Brilliant concept. Willem Dafoe’s performance is a must see.

mazingerz88's avatar

One-! One vampire question for today-! LOL

This Count likes revisiting these vampire flicks once in a while…

Innocent Blood ( with Anna Parillaud and directed by John Landis )
Interview With The Vampire
Blade 1 and 2
Underworld 1 and 2

My favorite is….1985’s welcome toooo…Friiight Niiight-! ( You’re so cool, Brewster-! )

Still awaiting my “future favorite”, a new take on Stoker’s Dracula. Not one of the movie or TV adaptations has been satisfactory so far.

rexacoracofalipitorius's avatar

Shadow of the Vampire is a favorite of mine too. Also, Nosferatu with soundtrack by Type O Negative, as it was meant to be (if you like goofy ‘90s goth “metal”.)

filmfann's avatar

I am kind of surprised that no one has mentioned the David Bowie movie “The Hunger”.
It used to be quite popular.

SecondHandStoke's avatar

^ Mmmmm so much nekkie.

Strauss's avatar

For sheer comedy, I would go with “Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein”. And although I am not generally a fan of the genre, I thought “Blood for Dracula” (aka Andy Warhol’s “Dracula”) was entertainingly gory and a well-done spoof.
