The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

Okay, I know I said it might take a week for me to get my next tourney up and running, but I got antsy, so here it is...

I have included what I consider to be 32 of the most popular vampire films. (Please note they are not all solely based on vampires, but they do all have a vampire in them.) Be warned that a few of these are more comedy than horror.

Here's the list of films in no particular order....
Van Helsing, Waxwork, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Queen of the Damned, John carpenter's Vampires, Fright Night, Fright Night 2, Vampire In Brooklyn, Underworld, Nosferatu, The Tommyknockers, Dracula 2000, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Once Bitten, Andy Warhol's Dracula, Blacula, From Dusk Til Dawn, Blade, Blade 2, Salem's Lot, The Forsaken, Bordello of Blood, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Night Breed, Monster Squad, Subspecies, Lost Boys, Dracula 2, Interview with the Vampire, Vampire Journals, Dracula (Bela Lugosi version).

If you notice your favorite vampire film is not on the list, then let me know as soon as possible and I'll try to work it in. (After we get through the first round, there's nothing I can do.)

*I left From Dusk til Dawn 2 & 3 out because I think we can all agree that the first one was the best out of that series.

First round will be up in just a minute....

ROUND 1 - MATCH 1

Re: The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

hmm interesting....everyone is american.....hmm interesting....not a single hammer film......no nosferatu.....hmm interesting...

wow i just read your list i must say wtf ya left off quite a few good ones so may i recommend adding some

Yeah, go for it...

Re: Re: The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

Look closer. Nosferatu is in there.

I don't know that I've seen any Hammer Films, if you can think of some that you think anyone on here other than you has seen, please let me know so I can add them in before we get too far into the first round.

near dark, horror of dracula, satanic rights of dracula, 'Salem's Lot '04, zwoti jump in any time,

Anything made for TV is not included so there goes Salem's Lot 04 (I highly doubt anyone thought it was better than the original anyway.) Near Dark will be added for sure. I'll look into the others.

you do realise 'salem's lot the original was made for tv so your gonna have to take that off your list and if ya dont believe me check www.imdb.com

also i thought it was alot better

Agreed. Fright Night.

Hey bwind22, check out http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/vampirefilms.html

There's a big list of vampire films dated from very early 1900's right upto 2000. It may help to jog yours and others memorys.


:)

I change my vote. I can't go vote against the great Craven AND Eddie. Vampire in Brooklyn.

fright night

Re: Re: Re: The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

so it is, well blow me.

let's see dracula (aka horror of dracula), dracula prince of darkness, brides of dracula, kiss of the vampire, fearless vampire killers (aka dance of the vampire), count yorga, captain kronos, legend of the seven golden vampires (aka seven brothers meet dracula), vampyres, martin, the hunger, lifeforce, sundown, innocent blood, dr terror's house of horrors....

Fright Night. It is one of my favorite vampire movies of all time.

Fright Night, hands down.

Vampire In Brooklyn is crap.

Fright Night hands down.....

I can honestly say that I haven't heard of about 90% of those. I saw them all on the website I was on while compiling the list, but Having never heard of/ saw any of them, I didn't know which ones were good and which ones weren't. There are literally hundreds of vampire flicks out there, but I like to keep the number to 32 for the sake of tournament brackets. I did actually have The Hunger in the list of candidates, but ended up cutting it out because I didn't think too many people would have seen it. It will be re-added in replace of Salem's Lot. (Good catch on that one being a made for TV movie, KruegerKid. That fact slipped my mind entirely!)

Zwoti, if you could narrow your list down to what you think are the one or two most popular, I'll put them in. I would do it, but like I said, I haven't seen any of those. (Except The Hunger and that's already been added.)

Fright Night wins by a dominating 10-2!

ROUND 1-MATCH 2

Horror of Dracula

Okay thanks for the suggestions everyone. Here is a revised list of the films I now have in the tourney. (This is still subject to change because I told Zwoti he could add a couple if he wanted to.)

Fright Night, Vampire In Brooklyn, Horror of Dracula (by special request), Underworld, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Queen of the Damned, Van Helsing, John Carpenter's Vampires, Near Dark (added due to my own neglect to put it in the first time around), Dracula 2000, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Nosferatu, Once Bitten, Blacula, Andy Warhol's Dracula, From Dusk Til Dawn, The Forsaken, Bordello of Blood, "Zwoti's Choice", Blade, Blade 2, The Hunger (by special request), Monster Squad, Lost Boys, Night Breed, Subspecies, Fright Night 2, Dracula (Bela Lugosi version), Vampire Journals, Dracula 2, Interview with the Vampire

Zwoti, I already added the one Hammer Film that has had multiple requests (Horror of Dracula), please pick one more from your list and let me know.

Okay, if everyone's happy with the list and your favorite vampire film is in there somewhere... On with The Eternalment!

Underworld.

Sorry, but the black and white/cheasy technicolor films just don't appeal to me. I'm a technophile.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

i shall choose fearless vampire killers, if only for the fact that it gave us the jewish vampire joke.

christopher lee as dracula, peter cushing as van helsing...gotta be dracula (horror of dracula)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Eternalment! (Best Vampire Film Tourney)
 

Okay, it's been added! :D

By the way, what's the joke?

Underworld and Horror of Dracula are tied 1-1!

Need more votes....

they show him a cross and he shrugs it off going "oi vey"

HOD

Horror of Dracula. Even though Underworld was kind of fun, it's carrying that trend of "human vampires" which I can't stand. Vampires aren't even monsters anymore. They're more like ... highly evolved human beings. Thus, they are not scary.

Horror of Dracula

Christopher Lee in one of his best Hammer films...IMO

The Underworld for me is a cross between Blade and The Matrix.

4-1 Horror of Dracula leads Underworld!

Need more votes....

Underworld.

4-2 Horror of Dracula leads!

Need more votes....
