Favorite Vampire... 'Style'
 

I didn't know how to word this thread. Anywho, what vampire style do you like the most? The classic older vampire films that showed Vampires (mainly Dracula) as gentlemen. Not pure blood-sucking monsters who have a blood lust like a damn leech are my favorite. Today all the vampires our blood crazed. All they do is bathe in blood and shit. I like the classic vampire much more. Just wanted to know all of ya'll's thoughts about the subject.

..character wise the classic "lugosi style" vampires dominate.and one would reason that if you had eternity to walk the earth you'd be quite the charming and very well educated immortal.thus your prey or "victims" if you will...would quite literally just surrender to you.the whole vicous attack method just seems inditcative of werewolves or some "lesser"creature.

Interesting question.
 

I kinda like 'em a little different from picture to picture, I guess. For example, I like Chris Lee's Dracula in "Horror of Dracula," very polite, even friendly when you first meet him, and then nasty as anything when he discovers you're trying to give him the stake. Something very pleasurable about that.

And then there's another favorite, the big bad vampire in Tsui Hark's "Vampire Hunters," which is totally devoid of humanity, it's more like a floating blood magnet from hell that can suck your veins dry without even touching you. That version was cool because the vampire felt very dangerous--the kind of thing that if you heard it was anywhere NEAR the area you were in, you would just drop whatever you were doing and get very, very far away. Or farther if possible.

Classic "older", I guess.

my fav vampires would have to be the vamires from saloms lot. were they are just blood firsty wild animals. but with a more intelligent uber vamp in charge. a great mix.but the older style vamps are also cool imho. i guess all vamp movies are ok, as long as they dont try and seduce their victims first or carry guns.

You KNEW that I would have to respond to this thread, Freddy...It's a spider web for me...

My thoughts...

The 'classic' romantic Vampire is nice...TOO nice...

Anne Rice made Vampires WEAK...She gave them feelings (yuck)...love, guilt, remorse, eternal torment...Vampires aren't SUPPOSED to have souls...Fuck that shit...

John Carpenter and Quentin Tarrentino know that Vampires are MONSTERS...Bloodthirsty...Callous...Brutal...Evil. ..Soulless...They know REAL Vampires:cool:

Oh...And Vampires don't NEED guns:rolleyes: ...That's retarded

i agree with rayne i love the way tarantino portrayed bloody thirsty vamps at their finest

i think bram stoker did it the best........well should i say gary oldman......lol what cant he do??


anyway i like the very wise intelligent charming vampire......can be a wretched decrepid old man or a gemtelman if he chooses.....he can be a werewolf or control your mind......i think that vampires are supposed to be wicked but NOT mindless..........i think that they should be able to call their victims from miles away.....seduce them and make them see whatever they want to see.........if your an immortal why not.........noble to some extent but completely dark and bereft of any human guilt or weakness........

Lugosi was too reserved. Christopher Lee was much better. But give me Max Schreck's character Graf Orlok in Nosferatu any day.


Of course....the space vampires in "Lifeforce" weren't bad.:)
