Here we go - the answer to all of your PMs throughout the past week or so.

Since we never had a proper tourney for this particular sub-genre (bwind22 did a short one 7 years ago), let's see if we can find the one absolute gem which rules all the vampire films made till now.

The tournament is divided into two parts - a Qualifying Round and subsequent rounds. I shortlisted about 200 films, based on overall ranking and votes cast in IMDB, then pruned it further to 161 for tourney purposes.

61 top-class favorites sit pretty to start their challenge from Round 1 onwards, while 100 films are bunched in the Qualifiers stage, out of which 20 will join the first 61 to do battle from the next stage.

And I know at least 3 people who are going to be very happy reading this. You know who you are.

We will start with the Qualifying Round shortly.

Let the anticipation start rolling...
