Best vampire movie?

[dark thoughts]

I was wondering, what is everyones favorite vampire movie, and why?

[last bad move]

i like interveiw with a vampire umm i dont really have a reason but i just do

[alixzander]

i starting watching nosferatu. for those of you who don't know its the first movie ever made that was based on bram stoker's dracula. it is a silent film, but i must say i enjoy it so far.

[cheebacheeba]

It wasn't based on Bram Stoker's Dracula....
I liked the lost boys, from dusk til dawn, mister Vampire, and one I saw a while back with Christopher Lee and all, I think it may have been called "son of Dracula"...I also quiet liked Fright Night and Blade was ok too.
Van Helsing looks (so far) as though it might make the list....

[McDonnyDude666]

Interview with the Vampire.

One of my favourite films ever!!!!

[zwoti]

near dark

[Neogentik]

Bram Stoker's

Its just an amazing story with great acting. I love the setting also.

I thought it was roughly based on Bram Strokers book because the director of Nosferatu could get the right to Dracula so he just changed the vampires and a changed a few details.

true, then bram stoker's widow took them to court, won and nearly had every copy of the film destroyed.

[cheebacheeba]

Alix.... ^THAT^ is pretty much what I meant.

[Targangil]

I've seen both versions of Nosferatu - the original and the seventies remake and I love them both.

[KRUGERKID13]

Near Dark

[Arioch]

Bram Stokers, Lost Boys, Interview, Vampire Hunter D:bloodlust

[feral cat]

Near Dark

[cheebacheeba]

Arioch... I recall a Vampire Hunter d game on ps1...my friend owned it, seemed a lil like resident evil, a lil like devil may cry....
Im not 100%, but I think the dude had a wisecracking psycho hand???
U play it?

[bone collector]

As a long time fan of vampire movies my favourite is Dracula 2000, and Dracula vs. Frankenstien

[LilMissScareAll]

The Lost Boys...
and Queen of the Damned would be my 2nd favorite.

[wufongtan]

Saloms lot, that movie rocked, it would have to be one of the best horror movies of all time, i first saw it as a kid and that sence when the boy came to the window, freaked the shit out of me. Didnt like looking out my widow for months after wards. I can't wait for the remake to come out.
but i think that just about any vamp movie is good, except for those ones where the vamp has to sedcue its victim before killing, biting , feeding on them w/e Those ones tend to suck arse.

[zwoti]

near dark, salem's lot then some hammer

[bwind22]

IMO, Interview w/ the Vamp. and Bram Stoker's were a little slow and somewhat boring. When I think of vampires I like them to be fast, violent and merciless. It's for those reasons that I really, really liked Dracula 2000. I know that won't be the most popular pick with most people, but THAT is how I envision Dracula. He should be a brutal, cold blooded, ruthless motherfucker, not some sappy puss that tries to be romantic. He's based off of Vlad The Impaler. And FYI, Vlad The Impaler was not a romantic pussy. He slaughtered thousands of innocent Romanians during his rule and then stuck their heads and carcasses on stakes outside of his castle to show that he was not to be fucked with. (The Forest of the Impaled.) It is for this reason that any Dracula redition that portrays him as a passionate, conflicted man capable of loving is way off base. (In my mind, at least.) He needs to be brutal.

I also really liked From Dusk Til Dawn, Lost Boys, Fright Night, and Salem's Lot.

Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein is pretty good too (Although it's not horror). It's got Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman and even and Invisible Man cameo.

[cheebacheeba]

Just saw Van Helsing today...I know it's not essentially an "ALL"
vampire movie, but it has made my list of at least "one of the better" vampire films.
The vampires are pretty much totally reinvented, a different species alltogether under human guise.
Frankensteins monster was kept pretty much as the original character was, although in a different situation (I liked the character, made a good addition to the film.)
As for the wolf-man, or wolf-men as it were...they're some pretty agile, big-ass werewolves, with one very kickass, psychotic pretty damn ANGRY wolfman "created" towards the end.
Interesting overall concept of how the wolfman and dracula mythologies have been tied into eachother for this movie also...
And arioch - The cgi level in this movie didn't spoil it at all IMO.
- Go See It.

Nosferatu. Dracula 2000 was good but the second is one of the worst.

I want to make a Dracula horror movie where I blend Frakenstein and Dracula together. The story would start like Frakenstein but Dr. Frankenstein would also add some animal features as in fangs. He would also use some black magic to help the lightning bring him back to life. The creature then would be called Dracula, it couldn't die because it was already dead, and it needed blood to survive. That is just an idea.

[bone collector]

no disrespect but that was just a bad idea

I concur

[Yamme-Sai]

Near Dark has to be the best vamp flick ever!!!!!! It rules!

[bone collector]

interview with the vampire is the best, yamme sai

[Arioch]

Cheeba, ya i saw that game once, never played it though. I heard it was a bit lackluster, but i dunno...

And arioch - The cgi level in this movie didn't spoil it at all IMO.
- Go See It

Too late, i've already started the download:D ...

[bone collector]

underworld was a good movie

[Steelsymth]

I like all the ones you have named so far but there are some off beat ones I like really well. Pale Blood, To Dance with a Vampire, The Hunger, To Sleep with a Vampire, Dusk till dawn 3, Red Blooded American Girl, Blood and dounuts,

SIDE NOTE:
The Vampire movie I HATE most of all is Vampire's Kiss with N.Cage

[Paul M. Johnson]

Vamp, best movie. Period.

[jay o2 waster]

Peroid

[KRUGERKID13]

that time of the month already

[thEsounDofdirT]

i really like interview with the vampire.. it totally shows the SENSUALITY not SEXUALITY of vampires and also their timelessness... so many movies make them so easy to kill.. the vampires in this movie are soooo hard to kill... especially the more pure blooded they are... they are so romantic with life and their ability to take it away or give eternity to someone... this movie was truly an example of how it can be both a curse and a gift

[movieman64]

Dracula, (1973 made for TV version) starring Jack Palance. Coppola's version (1992) takes alot from this movie.

Dracula 1979 is also on of my favorites.

[Freddy Krueger.]

Dust Till Dawn, by far. And Fright Night, and Salem's Lot.

[thEsounDofdirT]

you mean.. DusK til' Dawn

[wufongtan]

o ya fright night another great vamp movie both one and two. its one ofthose cases were the second one was nearly as good as the first.

[KRUGERKID13]

fright night rocked

[thEsounDofdirT]

fright night is indeed a good one.. i actually really love the lost boys... that is a really entertaining movie... but i still stick to my above comments about interview with the vampire

[KRUGERKID13]

dude if you like lost boys check out near dark it is amazing and probably my favorite vamp. movie

[thEsounDofdirT]

i'll tell you what ruined near dark for me.. the blood transfusion.. all he did was take other blood and put it in his system.. ... this is the same thing as drinking blood... if that were the case, then every time one drank his first neck... he would automatically be cured..

this just ruined the movie for me

i know it's really respected, and lance henriksen is awesome.. but yea

[Miss Britt]

I liked the lost boy's, just for the humor...

My fav's are Near Dark and Interview with a Vampire.
Hey KrugerKid...what movie's your sig from? Just wondered...I love werewolf movies...:D

[thEsounDofdirT]

when you swallow a pill.. does it not dissolve into your system ... by traveling through your blood?... and alcohol?...

[Vodstok]

Perhaps they have to Ingest blood for it to work as food.

But i agree with you, sound. It just sounds like poor writing.

[thEsounDofdirT]

it was kinda cool how they never mentioned the word.. vampire

[Horrorfreek13]

lost boys and John Carpenters Vampires
