Top 70 Vampire Movies of All Time
Vampires are mythological creatures, famous in folklore for their need to feed on the blood of animals and humans for survival. While regarded as part of the horror genre, vampire films do have their own characteristic style, as many motifs have spawned from the famous 1897 Bram Stoker novel Dracula. But Dracula himself originated from Southeast Europe and was not the first vampire myth; cultures such as the Mesopotamians, Hebrews and Romans have long had tales of demons and spirits that would drink blood and feast on flesh.
Filmmakers have interpreted the cult of vampires in many ways, some emphasizing the primal and ancient instinct of the ungodly, while others using vampires as tools to introduce generic horror and gore. For example, vampires have been portrayed as rock stars in Queen of the Damned, next door neighbors in Fright Night, space creatures in Lifeforce, melancholic aristocrats in Interview with the Vampire and criminals in From Dusk Till Dawn.
The female vampire has been depicted in many forms as well; as beautiful lesbians in Vampyros Lesbos and sexual predators in movies like Vampyres and Rabid. Eroticism and seduction are emphasized for the female vampire, whose desire for blood is inextricably intertwined with her lust for pleasure.
Vampire comedy is a sub-genre which tries to make light of the vampire myth, by appealing to the popular culture. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blacula and Jesus Chris Vampire Hunter are some films which appear in this popcorn niche. Most of these films are dismissed as B-grade trash, although some gradually develop a minor cult following.
Ranking the List
Following our previous feature on the Top 50 Dystopian Movies of all Time, we thought it would be fun to do a list of the Top 70 Vampire films and rank them according to the average IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes scores for each movie.
As you will probably know, the Internet Movie Database allows movie fans and registered users to rate each movie from 1 to 10 and the final score is said to reflect the general audience’s view of the movie. In contrast, Rotten Tomatoes rates their movies by collecting and tabulating the reviews given by professional film critics. We’ve taken both ratings, added them together and found an average score for each film.
This list may not be definitive but hopefully it will introduce everyone to some of the great vampire movies out there. Do leave a comment if you’ve enjoyed or really hated any of the films on the list. Feel free to subscribe to our website in order to receive updates on future articles.

Without alerting the rest of his cast, director Murnau finds an actual vampire to take on the name of actor Max Schreck and play the king of the undead. (Directed by E. Elias Merhige)

This version of Dracula is closely based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel of the same name. A young lawyer (Jonathan Harker) is assigned to a gloomy village in the mists of eastern Europe. He is captured and imprisoned by the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London, inspired by a photograph of Harker’s betrothed, Mina Murray.

IMDB: 7.7 | Rotten Tomatoes: 6.4 | Average: 7.05
8. Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary (2002)
A ballet rendition of Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula, presented in a style reminiscent of the silent expressionistic cinema of the early 20th Century. This work employs the subtle and sometimes bold use of color to emphasize its themes, but mainly is presented in black-and-white, or tinted in monochrome. No spoken dialogue can be heard, and the story of a sinister but intriguing immigrant who preys upon young English women unfolds through dance, pantomime and subtitles. (Directed by Guy Maddin)
IMDB: 7.0 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.4 | Average: 7.2
7. Near Dark (1987)

But when his own father and sister become targets in the vampires’ endless search for ‘food,’ he is forced to choose between loyalty to the vampires, or loyalty his own family. (Directed by Kathryn Bigelow)
IMDB: 7.0 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5 | Average: 7.25
6. Horror of Dracula (1958)

IMDB: 7.8 | Rotten Tomatoes: 6.9 | Average: 7.35
5. Martin (1977)
George Romero does for vampires what he has already done to zombies - an intense and realistic treatment that follows the exploits of Martin, who claims to be 84 years old, and who certainly drinks human blood. The boy arrives in Pittsburg to stay with his uncle, who promises to save Martin’s soul and destroy him once he is finished, but Martin’s loneliness finds other means of release. (Directed by George A. Romero)
IMDB: 7.2 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.6 | Average: 7.4
4. Black Sunday (1960)
A Bavarian princess, burned at the stake with her lover for being a witch, comes to life after three hundred years to enact the curse of revenge on her remaining family members. (Directed by Mario Bava)
IMDB: 7.5 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5 | Average: 7.5
3. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Stark, symbolic cinematography and intensely stylized performances create what Werner Herzog refers to as a different plane of reality, injecting the age-old tale of Count Dracula with a modern sense of mysticism, desire, and wonder. Frequent Herzog collaborator Klaus Kinski portrays the Dracula character with a silent intensity, tingeing the vampire’s inhuman monstrosity with a deep sense of pathos and longing. Completing a stellar international cast are Bruno Ganz and French film star Isabelle Adjani, both giving subtle yet compelling performances as the formerly happy couple who fall prey to Dracula’s lust for life and love. (Directed by Werner Herzog)
IMDB: 7.4 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.7 | Average: 7.55
2. Dracula (1931)
After a harrowing ride through the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe, Renfield enters castle Dracula to finalize the transferral of Carfax Abbey in London to Count Dracula, who is in actuality a vampire. Renfield is drugged by the eerily hypnotic count, and turned into one of his thralls, protecting him during his sea voyage to London.
After sucking the blood and turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his attention to her friend Mina Seward, daughter of Dr. Seward who then calls in a specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration of Mina’s health. Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina’s fiance, John Harker, and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from becoming one of the undead. (Directed by Tod Browning)
IMDB: 7.7 | Rotten Tomatoes: 7.8 | Average:7.75
1. Nosferatu (1922)
F.W. Murnau’s German silent classic is the original and some say scariest Dracula adaptation, taking Bram Stoker’s novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever filmed.
With the influence of producer and production designer Albin Grau, the film established one of two main depictions of film vampires. The “Nosferatu-type” is a living corpse with rodent features (especially elongated fingernails and incisors), associated with rats and plague, and neither charming nor erotic but rather totally repugnant. The victims usually die and are not turned into vampires themselves. (Directed by F.W. Murnau)
IMDB: 8.1 | Rotten Tomatoes: 9.0 | Average: 8.55
Though they aren’t movies we just had to mention the following also:
Ultraviolet (1998)
Ultraviolet is a six hour British miniseries that takes place in a world where vampires have lived with humans for centuries and have gone mostly undetected. However, this changes when detective Michael Colefield investigates the strange disappearance of his partner and discovers a troubling alternate reality where vampires seem to control a number of important aspects of society. Because of this experience, Michael is recruited by the government’s vampire squad, the CIB, an elite team of agents who are trying to hunt down this society of vampires. A dark, brooding series that plays like a mix of X-Files and Prime Suspect, Ultraviolet is one of the most engrossing series to appear on the small screen in years. (Directed by Joe Ahearne)
IMDB: 8.5 | Rotten Tomatoes: N/A
Hellsing (2006)
Hellsing follows Alucard and police girl-turned-vampire Seras Victoria as they exterminate the vampires and other creatures of the night for England’s Hellsing Organization. Hellsing is unique in that it takes much of itself from late 19th century and early 20th century Western fiction. It includes themes primarily from H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu works and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, rolled together with some fast-paced action sequences. The main characters are part of the Hellsing organization, which may have been inspired by the Lovecraftian Miskatonic University’s Wilmarth Foundation, an organization formed for fighting demons and the undead. (Directed by Hideki Tonokatsu and Tomokazu Tokoro)

October 16th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
just because a movie is old doesn’t make it good. see a lot of old one’s that aren’t that good, or should be further down the list.
also see some that aren’t even vampire movies or have anything to do with vampires, such as Nightbreed.
October 17th, 2007 at 1:43 am
Perhaps it doesn’t count since a) it was made concurrently with the Lugosi Dracula by the same production company and b) I think it’s been available as a bonus on the last several DVD releases of Browning’s film, but the 1931 Spanish language Drácula deserves special mention if only because it’s so much more competently directed. Unfortunately, Carlos Villatias has nowhere near the screen presence of Bela, which unfortunately does hurt this version.
Incidentally, I was positively giddy to see Martin in the top five. A sublime film that more people really should see.

October 17th, 2007 at 11:26 am
What the??? Queen of the Damned is widely regarded as a flop, with the excuse being the need to rapidly and haphazardly combine two books into one, with an unneeded recap of the first film thrown in for bad measure. Van Helsing was a joke of stellar proportions. And who can forget Jessica Biel slipping on her iPod (for what? so she cannot hear an attack??) to battle bad guys in Blade: Please Kill This Franchise. This looks more like a list made up just to make a list, with whatever they could remember off the top of their head. Pathetic.
October 17th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Umm, what happened to “My Best Friend is a Vampire?” It has a 5.3 on IMDB and is unrated at Rotten Tomatoes. So it should be number 58. And the fact is that it is a better Vampire movie than many of the ones made today. Very tounge in cheek, and very funny in lots of ways.
October 17th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
I was so glad to find Nosferatu the Vampyre on your list: it was the first Klaus Kinski movie I’d ever seen and I loved it. The photography is astounding: scenes still linger in my mind.
October 17th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
You totally missed Ravenous from 1999. Better than most of the movies here.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
If anything, this list shows that there are far fewer than 70 good vampire movies. However there are a bunch I’ve never heard of and am now curious about, so thanks!
What about Carl Dreyer’s “Vampyr”? Very well regarded.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
OMFG I’ve seen every single one of these. It’s sad really. LOL.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Maybe that’s because Ravenous isn’t a vampire movie.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:25 pm
You also forgot “Dracula: Dead and Loving it”, possibly the best vampire comedy ever!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
I wonder how 30 Days of Night would fare in this list. Anyway, just one day to go!
October 17th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Two questions:
1. Why not have the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series on your ‘honorable mention’ list? All fanboyism aside, it was a great series that built great mythology around the existing vampire mythology and was well written.
2. Why isn’t ‘Perfect Creature’ on your list, with 5.5 stars (though I suspect that will go up once it is released this month in NZ)?

October 18th, 2007 at 1:34 am
While I love the breadth of this list, relying on IMDB’s voters to pick the best movies of any genre will always result in some stunningly bad choices–and wildly odd ones, too (how else to explain how fanboy perennials like “Fright Night,” cult flicks like “Vampire’s Kiss” and a Guy Maddin movie all end up on the same list).
I’m a list addict, and love seeing other people’s thoughts on my own favs and guilty pleasures. A little disappointing the staff of this site didn’t add their own critiques to these films. And that “The Hunger” ranked so low (sure it’s far from a perfect film, but so are most vampire genre movies).
October 18th, 2007 at 1:45 am

I can’t agree that “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” is “closely based” on the novel. It’s more of a free adaptation using themes from the book.
The most accurate version I’ve seen is one that isn’t on your list: Philip Saville’s “Count Dracula” from 1977. It’s not only a close adaptation but is also an excellent film in its own right. (Okay, it was a TV miniseries rather than a film, but who’s quibbling).
October 18th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Great choices! I am so happy to see Near Dark on the list. Bill Paxton’s rampage in the bar and his “it’s finger lickin’ good” statement is the best blood sucking scene ever!

October 19th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
I gotta say, Black Sunday (aka Mask of Satan) just plain RULES…the mood, the atmosphere…it’s clearly set the stage for a lot of other horror flicks..
Another film not to miss is Near Dark….this one was done by James Cameron’s girlfriend, so she had access to his production crews and actors (Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, and Jeanette Goldstein, all from the then-recently-filmed Aliens, are major characters).
This one came out around the same time as the Lost Boys (but Near Dark filming started earlier) and could be seen as a contemporary or competition….but I see it as more complimentary to The Lost Boys…the films are very different…too different to really be competing flicks (although both are absolute must-see’s or must-buys).

A couple of favourites of mine didn’t make the list. Someone mentioned Larry Fessenden’s “Habit” earlier, which was a really good low-budget vampire film. But the real omission is Daughters of Darkness. That was the creepiest movie about vampires I’ve ever seen.
October 21st, 2007 at 2:53 pm
What?! You seem to have overlooked the 1977 Great Performances/BBC production of “Count Dracula”, directed by Phillip Saville and starring Louis Jourdan. Anyone who appreciates the actual Bram Stoker book, and has longed for the day when a literal interpretation of this great book is going to be made, may I suggest that past is prelude and that one should find a copy of this incredible production. Not heavy on SFX…though some very effective video effects of the era…give it an almost surreal feeling.
October 21st, 2007 at 9:53 pm
I loved this list, simply because there are actually some on here I haven’t seen. Reading the comments has certainly peaked my interest about the British mini series, too. I wonder where one would dig up a copy…….
If you’re going to suggest TV series for honorable mention, why not Dark Shadows? Sure it was terribly cheesy, but Barnabas Collins was great! Am I showing my age?

Great list..got me all worked up. I would have to say though, Blade 2 is def much better than Blade 1, though both are still my fav. Blade 3 was simply too painful to watch. What a waste. Why is it that Hollywood always fails to get the 3rd one right? Think Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Spidey3, Matrix 3, etc…
I agree with Terry (comment 470). How about Top 70 (why 70 beats me) Aliens movie of all time? How about 70s horror (with ghost, gouls, not just thrillers) of all time?
While at that, you should really do another list of Top 70 most frightening movie of all times ( all goes, monster, vamp, ghost etc).
To begin with, my top 5
1) Salem’s Lot
2) The Thing
3) Alien
4) Halloween
5) Evil Dead
October 31st, 2007 at 4:01 am
Where’s “House of Dark Shadows”? After all, it WAS based on a hit TV show that had TV’s first vampire hero, Barnabas Collins. For the 1970 movie, ‘Dark Shadows’ creator Dan Curtis made the character decidedly more malevolent, with tons of blood and effects.
How this film was overlooked in favor of “Vampire In Brooklyn” for this list is beyond me! Also, how could you mention a TV show like ‘Ultraviolet’ and NOT mention ‘Dark Shadows’ as well? Shame on you guys! Go to your local video rental place and start watching the episodes RIGHT NOW!

Well, I think the intention of this list was good. But perhaps 70 is too grand a number for top vamp movies of all time. Cut that down to twenty or so, and the excess will simply fall by the wayside. I mean, Queen of the Damned? That flick was a disgrace to vampire in general, the book in specific. And, yes, Once Bitten should definately have been on the list. When Jim Carrey moves both his eyebrows like a wave….classic.

“I saw a western Dracula years ago, and that movie wasn’t mentioned. I don’t remember the exact title, but Michael Pate was the star. Anyone else remember this one?”
You’re thinking of “Curse of the Undead” with Eric Fleming (of “Rawhide” fame) as the heroic Preacher. It was produced by Universal in 1959. IMDB gives it a 5.7 rating.
I have my own review of it here:
http://www.feoamante.com/Movies/Vampires/curse_undead.html
Aside from “Curse of the Undead,” I also think “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” should be on this list as well as Jesus Franco’s 1970 version of “Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula” starring Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom as Van Helsing, and Klaus Kinski as Renfield. Although I haven’t seen it recently, as I recall this version is actually the closest adaptation of Stoker’s novel.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:20 pm
I agree with Doug1, fantastic version BBC’s 1977, “Dracula”. Starring Louis Jourdan, and if I recall Laurence Oliver too. Beautifully shot, erotic and romantic too.
I also loved John Badham’s 1979 “Dracula - a Love Story” starring Frank Langella, Kate Nelligan, Donald Pleasence. In fact, I would put that at number 1. I can’t believe it is nowhere on the list.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:23 pm
OK, Laurence Olivier was in the John Badham one (whoops)
October 31st, 2007 at 4:49 pm

I am impressed with this vampire movie list, although there are some films missing (VAMPYR, HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, more Chris Lee flicks) and some that are ranked way too high or low. But I am glad to see my favorite, HORROR OF DRACULA, ranked so high.
BTW, to the person who was asking about a vampire Western with Michael Pate–the film you are looking for is called CURSE OF THE UNDEAD. It was made by Universal around 1959 and was available on VHS at one point. Not sure if it ever came out on DVD, but keep an eye out!
Best,
JM!L
October 31st, 2007 at 11:10 pm
The fact that I find little fault with this list is a testament to the fact that most vampire movies suck - there aren’t even 70 good ones. The fact that the Buffy movie, Blade Trinity, and Dracula 2000 could all make this list is pathetic. Somebody needs to start making some good vampire movies, STAT. (I love the Buffy TV show, so don’t think I’m insulting the Buffyverse as a whole)

December 28th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
well,
i really like the list, since im a big vampire fan. i read the ppls comments..some seem stoopid some are very helpful….and others are just there…..since im living my young years i am very impress with the new vampire movies….and i wouldn’t degrade them from the older vamp. movies. In my opinion
“Queen Of The Dammend” & “The Lost Boys” are pretty good
which are like my fav ones…rite after there is “Near Dark” which is like an awesome movie….the one movie that i couldnt stand was “Innocent Blood” it was defenetly very lame its like a mafia movie wit a very bad vampire chick…shes not even hot.
she doesnt even seem like a vamp. its like really lame..seriously.DONT WATCH THAT ONE!!
now ill just end this wit a tahnk u to the list for the info on all other movies….but i do agree ive seen other vamp. movies that are not mention here….UPDATE IT!!!!
December 30th, 2007 at 9:23 am
Queen of the damned and the Interview with the Vampire are the bestvampire movies out there.
January 5th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I like to know al about vampire/ ect. get back to me soon.
January 12th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
[…] Snarkarati has an interesting list. I’d put a bunch of the movies on the honorable mention list, though, I disagree with some, hence, 10 Worst Vampire films (again, no order) […]
January 14th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
For me Interview with the Vampire is number one…
January 16th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Ok, i hate the list (no offense) but, I simply hate old movies, crappy quality movies, and movies that are made by people who know nothing about vampires. Just my opinion, but underworld, blade and van helsing should have been at the top.
January 19th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
heyyy guys
thx for the list… but i have to say that old movies don really interest me too.. but they used to interest older pps be4 so no harm.. but we’d love more modern awesome movies that are similar to interview with a vampire which is absolutely no. 1… i also love the anime vamp movies.. +queen of the damned… ppl have diff tastes but that what makes life AWESOME..
plzzz UPDATTTE :D:D:D
January 25th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
What a bunch of weirdos Rotten Tomatoes’ reviewers are! I couldn’t believe “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” was rated 11th (above Dusk Til Dawn, Salem’s Lot, Interview with the Vampire), so I checked out some of their reviews.
Apparently no one there thought Keanu Reeves was utterly unconvincing as an Englishman (especially that cringeworthy accent), no one thought Gary Oldman’s performance was too far over-the-top (even for him) and no one realised how little the movie resembled the book it was supposedly based on (much of the dialogue is recycled from early vampire films and the book never made any mention of Vlad “The Impaler” Tepes or a romance between Mina and Dracula).
Maybe they were completely swept away by the camerawork (which has now dated horribly)… or maybe they’ve mixed it up with something else?
January 26th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I’m surprised the list doesn’t include razorblade smile. For those who like subtle and cold blooded movies.
January 26th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
[…] Her finner du kåring av de 70 beste vampyrfilmene noensinne, og ikke overraskende er Nosferatu fra 1922 øverst. Denne så jeg forøvrig i Bergen Filmklubb for noen år siden, med et lite (og tilsynelatende sprell levende) orkester som stod for filmmusikken. Fantastisk stemningsfullt! […]

hey i saw a movie advertised when i was very young about vampires. this vampire queen or something was telling this guy he had to bite the girl he loved and he didn’t wanna do it. anyone know what it is?
February 8th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Queen of the Damned-Great visuals, Aaliyah did a great job, what a bod! And the chemistry with “Lestat” (sexy!!!) this is an addicting movie. Interview with the Vampire SUCKED. NOT scary in the least. Only plus-costumes. Tx for putting Near Dark in high ranking, still scares the crap outta me. And of course Dusk to Dawn, Fright Night-Unique, funny, intense…
February 14th, 2008 at 3:14 am
i love queen of the damned. i agree with the people that said good things about it .it is the best film out and aaliyah r.i.p.
tillymoondrop it was queen of the damned, you were talking about it being advertised.
well bye xoXOxo
February 15th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I’ve only seen a few of these movies and they alone have lead me to the world of vampires. I think interveiw with a vampire should be number one because my dad bought it on video around 1995 and I watched it with him and since then been vampire mad
plus Tom Cruise as Lestat is SEXY xD
February 15th, 2008 at 9:41 am

Salem’s Lot rocks! Saw it on TV when I was about 8 and it still gives me the heeby-jeebies when I think about it! Should be number one!
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:30 pm
dream line up for the ann rice series as follows ( i think so anyway)
lestat - Stuart Townsend. cocky, sexy, and lovely to watch.
louis - Brad Pitt (louis is 5 years older tha lestat when embraced, remember) - so, the age he was when he did interview.
armond - Kristen Holden-Ried from touch of pink. he is lovely and has that perfect young boyish looks, just grow that wonderful auburn hair and you got it.
claudia - Kirsten Dunst at that age - she did a great job
queen - i’d keep Aaliyah. she was beautiful.
Marius - Vincent Perez was fun.
it’d be great to see it done in 3 movies a little more consistant w/ the books. (queen was ok but 2 books crammed into one film…)
so, any one have suggestions for the rest of the cast? Magnus? the twins? Pandora? Jesse?
February 29th, 2008 at 1:33 am
OK - does anybody remember which vampire movie it was…
- black and white (so it’s old)
- the vampire (Dracula) turns a guy who ends up in a prison or a mental hospital
- in one scene the doctor (psychiatrist) is asking the guy about eating spiders and the guy says, “Why should I eat spiders when I can eat nice juicy flies?”
This scene is stuck in my head forever but I cannot remember the movie name.

Its annoying that so many people are being so negative about some of these movies. Not all vampire movies are supposed to be scary for one thing… some of the best vampire movies out there are great because they’re soo cheesy- thats why people like them. And yeh, sure some movies may be worse than others but there is no need to get all worked up about it. It’s not like your life depends on there being a maticulously compiled list of vampire movies thats entierly accurate to you. Your opinion isn’t the only one that matters… try being more productive, instead of just putting people down all the time!
Nobody is going to agree with the entire list, but it’s just for fun, don’t take things so seriously!
I’ve been a fan of the vampire genre from a very young age and not beacause it scares me, but because the stories are engaging and enjoyable.
I found this list very helpfull and there are definatly some movies that I’m going to check out soon, so thanks
March 8th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I finally found the reference on the Internet Movie DB. The line is not exactly as I remembered it but it is the movie:
Martin:Aren’t you ashamed now? Aren’t you? Spiders now, is it? Flies aren’t good enough!
Renfield: Flies? Flies? Poor puny things! Who wants to eat flies?
Martin: You do, you loony!
Renfield: Not when I can get nice fat spiders!
It’s the original Dracula from 1931 and Renfield was the pop-eyed lunatic. He still haunts me.
March 11th, 2008 at 4:01 am
Hi there,
I have wondered this for many years and this looks like a good place to ask a question like this. Perhaps someone who has watched the same movie will recognize parts of this movie I am going to explain and tell me exactly which Vampire movie it is as I would love to get a copy of it some where. I was only a young girl when I watched the movie so only remembering bits and pieces. Two of my main memories of this movie is (which seemed scary when your a child - yet I always loved a good story to scare me) I remember a scene where people were people were searching for a grave, dug open and found the back side panel of the coffin to have no back , only the satin covering which led underground,which they then crawled through in search of vampires, or someone who had been taken (not so sure which or why) then in the last scene of the movie, a vampire who was in love with a woman , was trying to escape away with her on a ship. He was caught ; a fight broke out in which the vampire had a hook swung into his back and then was hoisted up into the daylight and closing scene was him burning up in the sun and nothing left but his cape blowing in the wind. If anyone can identify this movie for me can you please email me at carlajade@gmail.com
Thanks so much,
March 12th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Lost Boys should be at the top of the list, IMO anyway.
first vampire movie I ever saw, so I am Bias, but hey its a great movie. Dracula 2000 was a great twist on the dracula series loved it.
Ive seen almost movie in the list, most of them are good, some are tacky, others just plain crap - but all in all, excellent list ( A marks out of 10 voting system would be cool

Personally I really like Queen of the Damned, and of course Interview with the vampire. I cannot see how Bram Stocker’s Dracula can be so appriciated. I have seen it and I don’t like it. Anyone up for Dracula - read the book. However Nosferatu and Shadow of the Vampire are 2 great movies.
March 16th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Have a lost my mind!!! Some people not only liked “Queen of the Damned” but thought it should be ranked higher! To all the 10 yr. olds writing in, yes, movies where once B & W and without CGI (horrors!!!). Maybe one day you will out grow Van Helsing & Underworld and actually appreciate the great classics of cinema such as Nosferatu & the immortal Lugosi.
March 18th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

Night Junkies: Brit flick that had a decent take on the vampire-as-junkie theme…only a 4.7 on IMDB so it didn’t make the list…but I thought it had charm (especially with Giles Anderson half-naked half the time)
March 20th, 2008 at 1:49 am
Giving one for the ladies (Night Junkies) reminded me of one for the men- Rise, with Lucy Liu (the unrated version)…graphic cinematography when it comes to the actual blood “sucking,” which is just a bonus to the performance of Ms. Liu
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Queen of the Damned was good! However it didn’t meet the potential the story line could have aclaimed to. I look forward to the release of the movie “Twilight” based on the novel written by Stephanie Meyer!
Oh by the way Mark “CHILL OUT”!!!
March 23rd, 2008 at 1:31 am
I think ‘Dracula’s Widow’ was really, really scary at the time that I saw it.
Some persons mentioned some omissions so I think the list could use an update to maybe the top 100 Vampire Movies of All Time.
Great list though…I’m going from 1-70 and watching those I haven’t seen as yet. Watched Nosferatu last week and I just watched Dracula (1931). Great movies for sure.

Queen of the Damned and Van Helsing are the best movies with vampires I’ve ever seen :X Interview with the vampire was great too
March 29th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I am looking for the name of the movie in which vampir hunters go to this village, stop at the home where a funeral is occurring for a young girl who was to have been married the next day. She becomes a vampire. The hunters stay at the local castle. During the night, in the room of one of the hunters a tall picture opens up, exposing a stairwell leading downward, and a vampire woman comes out to bite him but his cross on his neck stops her. In the morning, he notices the black mark the picture made on the floor from opening and discovers the stairway downward. Does anyone know what this movie is titled?
March 31st, 2008 at 7:05 am
Fallonsfreeway, i know what movie it is. It is called BeoWulf by christopher lambert

I think “interview with the vampire” deserved better than 14th…. not by much but still….. at least no one included “bloody rayne” that was just bloody shit!!
April 26th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Just a small hint - You’ve made the most typical “westerners mistake” about Hellsing (not that I known since I was born, naw)
The name of “Seras Victoria” is used in that specific order only due to Japanese tradition of putting family name before given name - Japanese person would say Smith Adam, not Adam Smith. The whole story is supposed to happen in UK, so her name is european, but the manner is still Japanese. Therefore, she is Victoria(given name) Seras(family name).
April 27th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Wow…I’m kinda surprised that Hellsing made #1…
April 27th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
As a vampyre, I am a little let down by the list. I guess you had to get 70 movies from somewhere. At least #1 and #2 were correctly ordered.
May 12th, 2008 at 4:56 am
Queen of the Damned is #67…. but Blade Trinity is #59? Queen of the Damned might have not been faithful to the book, but dear god… it is certainly much better acted then Blade Trinity. In fact it is far better then any of the abysmal Blade series. Not to mention Queen of the Damned has an amazing original soundtrack that was done just for the movie.
And Van Helsing is #62? Again, that is just a massive slap in the face to the decent movie Queen of the Damned.
Half of the movies on the list are absolutely horrible and unwatchable unless you are a vintage film buff. The other half only has a handful of good picks…. all in all, horrible list.
May 19th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
where the hell is Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr?”
May 20th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Wow. I haven’t seen most of these (unfortunately), but I preferred Queen of the Damned to Interview with the Vampire. Of course, that could be because I’m a teenage girl who prefers Stuart Townsend.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
hello all
first of all, let me say I’m no expert, i have just been a fan of Vampire movies over the years and some of the listed movies, i really havent watched
Bad choice listing in the same place comedy/horror as well as animated/”real movies”.
Exemple: sure Vampire Hunter D is very good… BUT you can’t compare it to Bram’s Dracula… not in the same way you can compare (ramdomly) one of the “blades” with one of the “underworlds”. i can’t see what standards did you used to make the list… story itself? good acting? (in some cases it seems some movies were pushed up or down because of theire age).
on to the “chronicles” based movies positioning:
ok everyone knows that sadly Interview is not 100% faithful to the book, but still all the book’s atmosfere remains and it’s a pretty good vampire movie - it really should be in front of cronos and Vampire D. Queen of the damned i can uderstand why its so further down, it was a travesti to all the Lestat charater what they did to him (and other chars as well).
John carpenter’s Vampires at 55???? behind that twin efect and love at first bite?
oh and if you are reagarding such scripts as “alien vampires” well Vampirella falls in that area. speaking of trash… The Breed sux but its still better than some movies you have there so is Tsui Hark’s vampires (weird vamp on that one but at least its a vampire…sort of)
in the end, thank you for some titles, im going to look for them
May 31st, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I think the series of moonlight with Alex O’Laughlin would also fall innto this categories. By the way Alex O’Laughlin is beathtakingliy sexy, cute and handsome. ooooohhhh
June 2nd, 2008 at 5:07 am
im glad there is a list available! but i think it’s a bit outdated! although the classics are no doubt good movies, nowadays people just want a vampire movie with blood, sex and violence. i think the only reason people like queen of the damned more is because “Lestat” is so hot in it! and the whole idea of a vampire is someone who is drop-dead gorgeous and irresistible and who wants to suck your blood! but thanks for the list, i plan to watch all of them anyway!
this is my top 5
1) underworld (she’s hot and its got so much action)
2) underworld 2
3) interview with a vampire (brad pitt come on!)
4) Rise (lots of sex, blood and guts!)
5) Queen of the damned
but i haven’t seen all of them, in fact i haven’t seen very many but i must say these ones a good!
And the best vampire movie is coming out soon
see TWILIGHT on the 12th December, and you’ll see what i mean about irristible vampires!
June 5th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
i agree with fizzle. those are basically my top also. i cant wait til the Twilight movie comes out i so excited! if they screw it up i will be seriously pissed off! hope its great. dont particularly like the dude playing edward though. but there isnt a guy on this earth who could match up to edward lol
this is a great list but yeah it does need to be updated a bit 
June 6th, 2008 at 12:48 pm

I cannot understand why INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE (with Brad Pitt, Tom Criuse, and Kirsten Dunst) and BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA (1992) (with Winona Rider, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, and Monica Bellucci) were not in the top 5, they were classical vampire movies, but more then anything they were enjoyable to watch, truley showed vampires, had amazing acting and the films had wonderful filmography.
Also, I’m about to see THE HUNGER and I’m sure it’s quite good, I can’t believe it ranked so low, it has Cathrine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon for christ’s sake!
June 11th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Good list, though I agree some of the movies on this list are strange - but 70 is a lot of freaking movies to organize into one list. I with all of the Hammer Vampire movies were on here - even the bad ones from that series are better than some of the ones at the bottom of this list.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:53 am
WHAT THE HECK? Van Helsing is one of the best vampire movies out there! It should have a higher rating and be in a higher spot!
June 13th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Queen Of The Damned?! Why?!!! Sorry but that film is the biggest piece of crap!
I can’t say I was really keen on Nosferatu either to be honest.
The Lost Boys however is excellent!
Interview With A Vampire as cliche as it may be has got to be one of my all time favourite vampire movies.
Embrace Of The Vampire!!! Ok so it’s actually kinda crap. Just naffy cheap Vampire porn but whatever it should be on here anyway lol x
June 21st, 2008 at 2:06 pm
The majority of this list is great (except the dire and trite Queen of the Damned of course). But are there any vampire films anyone can recommend other than the ones listed? I am trying to get through as many as I can so would be very grateful to hear peoples opinions! x
June 26th, 2008 at 2:47 am
i like frankenstien better!
June 30th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I love vamp movies, especially those you can really SINK your teeth into lol
and would just like to mention the brilliant ‘Buffy the vampire slayer’ series which had 7 great seasons and deserves an acknowledgement!!!
July 1st, 2008 at 6:55 am
Oh and BTW Brian Colley is soooo right, that is if Im thinking of the right film! Guy Pearce? turned sort of cannibal, not acctually a vampire film, yet, it does involve the eating of flesh and sucking of blood, so it should count, and its better than most of the films on the list with good acting and a great final scene!
XoXo
July 1st, 2008 at 7:28 am
OK, Im literally trying to dominate this board thing lol
I’ve just got to say, after reading ALL the comments left, people are right, ‘Queen of the Damned’ isnt the best vamp film ever made! It has good acting, but plzzz, no one can take over a Tom Cruise part, I’m not a fan, but he’s a legendery actor, and this guy who plays him (his name, anyone?) just doesn’t do it for me… and yes, the vampire movies arent ment to be all gory and blood drenched horrors, a vampire movie is ment to release the person feelings and views on what one is, as supressed desires, or scary mythological creatures of the night lol
Any way, I just reckon we need a good vamp movies which doesn’t seem like it follows in the wake of the ‘Bram Stoker’ novel, which was shit BTW, it totally wasn’t scary or sexual!!!
and instead, make one that breaks free into its own stride and sets a new age of vamp films onto us, like Underworld did in my opinion! not the greatest, yet it was … some what different.
Oh and btw ‘30 days of night’ was a breath of fresh air in this genre! it had no, sexy vixen vamps or changing faces from vamp to human, but kept the creatures in full form unhumanly and was in my opinion… a true vamp movie
watch it if u havent already k!!!
XOXO
July 1st, 2008 at 8:38 am
Very obscure 70’s German vampire film: “Jonothan”. I’ve seen it once on a rather poorly transferred second hand dvd, but even for that, it was one of the best vampire films I have ever seen.

I’m not a very passionate fan of vampire (or other “creatures”) movies but I was looking most of all for movies where vampires fall in love with humans and find a way through, without harming them
I loved “Queen of the damned”, I was not very impressed by “Embrace of the vampire”, but it was quite good… and I’m going to see “Interview with the vampire” 
do you have any other suggestions (hopefully with handsome actors ;)? please email me at www.aries_granata26.yahoo.com if you do

I NEED HELP ! Pleease!!! A really long time ago I rented this old vampire movie,and now I can’t find it ANYWHERE! The problem is that this movie was called “Interview with a vampire”. It was probably translated wrong. It was about this blonde guy who is a vampire and he falls in love with this librarian chick. I think her name was Victoria,but I’m not sure. And there was this doctor there. And I don’t remember the plot,but I know it was a really silent and slow dark movie.And I’m pretty sure it was from the 80′ or the 70′.
PLEASE! If anyone has any information about this movie e-mail me my mail is art-of-murder@hotmail.com
PLEEASE!! I REALLY WAN’T TO SEE IT AGAIN!
August 8th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
In response to the above, it is difficult to know exactly what film you are talking about. Old can be any where from 5 to almost 90 years. However although I do not recall a blonde Dracula falling for a librarian, I do recall a blonde Dracula falling for a ME after being chained and held captive by several ex college students. That was in Dracula II by Wes Craven and was released abiut 2002-03, and a very good vamp film. Perhaps a little better idea of what era you are talking about, I.E, silent, classics (Bela Lugosi era) , The Hammer era (Christopher Lee), or mor modern films, modern meaning 90’s and up. It would also be good to know if it was black and white or color, there were a couple modern films done in black and white. I hope this was helpful.

Well,this was an older film,maybe from the 70’s 80’s or 90’s.It was in color.I saw it when I was a kid and the picture quality was a bit low.I could try to remember the plot a little bit more.I’m not sure if this is completely wright since I saw it a really long time ago but I’ll try to remember.I know he had a relationship with this girl,I think she was a kid and then she grew up,he probably rased her or something but I think she died.After that he met this librarian girl,who he fell in love with.I remember this scene where a woman,probably she,was lying down and he stood over her and slit his wrist,drank some of his blood and kissed her while pouring the blood into her mouth.I also remember this scene where him and the librarian chick were like on a date or something and she didn’t know he was a vampire, (I think he used to come to her library a lot and read there and that’s how they met) and they were just about to kiss and he lost control and bit her neck and she got really scared.After that there was this doctor or a vampire hunter or something and he came to her and said something like, “remember what he did to you last night,that’s how they express love”. So after that she knew he was a vampire.I also remember a couple of scenes, he was at this dark street and some guy walked next to him and he grabbed him by his neck and hung im in the air and then smashed his head and poured blood that came out of his head to his mouth.I also remember this scene where he was sitting on his bed and his cat walked to him and he grabbed her and petted her and then bit her and drank her blood.And the last scene I remember was that chick walking down a really long staircase and it was a really long scene with her walking and walking down,and I don’t remember what happened when she finally got down,but I know that he was down there and I think that vampire hunter guy was trying to kill him or something.That’s probably everything I remember from that movie,it was really artistic and dark and it had a really morbid atmosphere.

Hi Diane,
1992 Way of the Vampire was released, About an old vampire that visits a library and falls for a librarian called Anne, I haven’t seen it, but since he is old and might be grey could be confused with blonde.

Modern Vampires (Casper Van Dien)
August 18th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Yes, Dracula Dead and Loving It should be there, at least as a honorable mention..
August 19th, 2008 at 2:47 am
I was happy to see Anne Rice stuff up there- but I think that Moon Child, a japanese vampire movie should be considered. It’s really good and… all too good to be passed up on this list. Vampire fans- look into it if you haven’t heard of it
August 19th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
cant wait til TWILIGHT comes out

Somehow, the American taste for vampires seems to be quite different. Even Stephen King acknowledges that Christopher Lee was the Best Dracula ever. Does not mean everyone has to agree but the IMDB and Rotten Tomato ratings here show ethnocentrism. To give a top spot to a Bela Lugosi Dracula smacks of that. Bela Lugosi was not a convincing Dracula. He did not look menacing nor dignified. I think that Lee too cheapened himself in the latter films like the AD1972 etc.
I do not think anyone outside America much cares for the American version of vampires which uses a lot of blood and gore, more than necessary- it stops being a genre of true terror and horror, and plays on our sense of revulsion.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:42 am
We are looking for an 80’s vampire movie ……hope someone can help us…….it was called The Sins of Sara we think.
Anybody know this one?
August 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I’ve been looking for this one film, and I’ve been to a lot of sites reading summaries of the films. But I can’t find it. I’ve seen it played two or three times of UPN during the weekends. But that was a few years ago. So they sensor the movies and I haven’t seen it since I was a little kid. I can only remember some parts, but it was about this one guy. I think he didnt want to be a vampire, but some group of vampires were trying to make him accept it. I remember that at the beginning he’s in his rooms and he has a waking dream of someone coming under his door as mist and biting him. In the next scene he’s in the shower messing with the band aid he put on his bite. Please someone help me find the title.
August 27th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Well its obvious that a great movie should be judge
by all of the ingredients that make it a great film
like totaling cg effects, acting ability, story line, cinematography etc…
so as to get an overall result.
I think the final judgements here are biased to personal opinion, a vote by all of the people that commented above should give a more accurate judgment on the correct order of top 70 “Vampire” films.
I would say ” Lost Boys ” should be no 1
It would be interesting to know what is the no 1 top vampire book ever written ?
August 30th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Crap, crap & more crap. Sorry but I want to watch horror for horrors sake. Including comedy & cheese, only means poor budget, poor directing, writing & or acting. And you losers who exclaim that bad is good, or cheap is good, or advise me not to take everything so seriously, can bite me. Don’t get me wrong, there is room for a wry comment from time to time. Anybody familiar with Brian Lumley’s Necroscope series?, I simply can’t wait for the film(s). If I want comedy I watch Adam Sandler, or Caddy Shack. I do love Near Dark, Lifeforce, Underworld & quite a few more of the listed, I just wish someone would edit out the BS
August 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
30 days of night was taken from frostbitten, the movie companies didnt want to pay royalties to frostbitten, nor pay for the having the speech redone, so they stole the idea about a month of darkness and wrote their own version becuase it was less costly. all in all for originality I give it to frostbitten. 30 days is alright if you like alot of gore.

Tillymoondrop : Fright Night 2, Regine tries to convince Charlie to bite Alex
Carla: John Badham’s Dracula
Kuchikisoren: There was mist in it at one point, I believe. He also did have to put a band aid on his wound, and didn’t want to be a vampire. Fright Night 2 might be the movie you are looking for.
I’m surprised ‘Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter’ and ‘Mr. Vampire’ weren’t listed, simply because I’ve seen them on SO MANY best vampire film lists. I like them both, they’re pretty good. But I understand, a list can only have so many Hammer flicks…but Mr. Vampire is actually very funny. There’s also ‘A Polish Vampire in Burbank’, but it’s really low budget and obscure. It is, however…a cult classic worthy of recognition (I mean, it was on USA up all night, for god’s sake.) I agree with many people on this list that ‘Dracula, Dead and Loving it’ should have a spot on the list. ‘Love Bites’, Dario Argento. That one’s pretty popular too. I don’t like it, but it’s still popular. And there’s the other ‘Love Bites’ with Adam Ant…but it’s really hard to find, so I understand it’s omission.
All-in-all…it’s an OKAY list.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:02 pm
The list was decent. I read the comments and was determined not to comment but- oh well, here it is. Vampire mythology changes over time. That’s why it’s called folklore. It changes by word of mouth, urban legend; and now various forms of electronic media have progressed vampire evolution. There is no such thing as an official empirical list of vampire qualities and characteristics. Also, just because a movie is old doesn’t make it bad. Directors and producers worked with what they had then, which requires more skill and creativity than a bunch of over the top computer generated effects. Most movies with too many effects have suffering plotlines because the focus is in the wrong area. Van Helsing, the Blade trilogy, Ultraviolet (The horrible U.S. film starring Milla Jovavich which thankfully did not appear on this list), and Queen of the Damned are huge examples of this erroneous focus. Bad, bad movies. I like the Hammer studios vampire flicks (although they are cheesey, Christopher Lee is the perfect Dracula). I also loved Interview with the Vampire because it is dark, sensual, and romantic with appropriate minimalistic effects. I also really love and fall asleep almost every night to Francis Ford Copolla’s (sp?) version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula because of Gary Oldman’s performance and the artistic visuals. It’s really a feast for the senses. I was disappointed that Daughters of Darkness did not make the list. That is an awesome and creepy vampire flick. The main protagonist is much scarier than bathory the vampiress. Anyway, pretty interesting stuff.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I am amazed that the series Angel was not mentioned here. Although not a movie - it is a good series.
September 6th, 2008 at 2:21 am
Hmmm what about Forever Knights original pilot movie Rick Springfield (commonly known as Nick Knight). Probably worse known for a horrible 1980s pop song (but wrote other good tracks I confess). Vampire cop B Grade movie - that turned into a really good A Grade TV Series! Nick Knight was one of the best although slightly cheesy looking back at the 1980s.
September 6th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I saw a double feature horror in Christchurch Tivolli theatre New Zealand in 1958, first film was Ït the terror from beyond space”, the second was a vampire film, he got killed in an old mine at the end, he was pushed into a hole and an old bit of timbre pieced his heart, does anyone out there know what the name of it was?
September 8th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
I liked the selection you had and was glad The Lost Boys and Van Helsing was on there. I really like those movies.
September 14th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Perhaps Strange Things happen at Sundown is worth a mention, not least for the scene(s) in which Countess Bathory appears as the rather houseproud American wife of Vlad the Impaler, now scraping a living as a mob hitman.
I think that Diane may well be thinking of Tale of a Vampire, starring Julian Sands and directed by Shimako Sato. Mixed reviews here, as for so many vampire films. Easily found.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Everyone with a love for vampires and drop dead beautiful men should see Moon Child.
It’s on a close second place of the vampire movies i love the most, just after Intervju with the vampire.
Love the Twilight books, but i have a bad feeling about the movie after i saw the trailer.
For all you amine fans, dont miss the Hellsing series or ongoing OVA, Trinity Blood, Vampire Knight and Blood+
September 20th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
interview with the vampire and queen of the damned and lost boys and lost boys 2 are the best movies EVER
September 25th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Great list. I remember a classic horror movie as a teen called
Black Sabbath. It was a triology of tales narrated by Boris Karloff , who also stars in the last feature titled “The Wurdulak” about a vampire who preys upon the blood of his
loved ones.
September 26th, 2008 at 5:38 am
woah no way man queen of the damned had fucking legend music and cinematography and the acting was well-good. one of my favs.

It would be lovely of you to add a separate area for recommendations seeing how much truly informative commentary was added. I would love to see a list anywhere, of all vamp & religious sci-fi films one day. I agree, I’m surprised many were not listed, like 30 days of night and more but I don’t remember the name of this one vamp film set in Russia but if anyone is able to remember the name of it, please post for me and everyone else to see. It wasn’t highly marketed at all, but the budget and quality was superior for an indie it was truly a brilliant film! Wishes on future list upgrades but regardless, grazie’ for sharing this and on all the feedback help as well. Best wishes, xx

p.s. has anyone seen a movie from 1960s or early 1970s that starts off with Dracula going to a ball and dancing with a couple of sisters/cousins or friends. One of the girls gets bitten and they try a blood transfusion to stop her from dieing. There is a scene futher in the movie where by this time Dracula has turned 2 more girls into vampires and the go to 3rd girls room to make her and her boyfriend/Gaurdian into Vampires I was 5-12 years old at the time and as this is over 30 years ago sorry for the scetchy details
October 29th, 2008 at 3:10 am
I movie from 1922 is number one? I know you have to respect the classics, but that is just wrong. How do you put buffy the vampire slayer above queen of the damned? Or on here at all? I didn’t agree with list very much.
October 31st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
“Habit” should definitely be on the list. It’s a lot better than Dracula 2000 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s also better than Vampyros Lesbos. “Count Yorga, Vampire” should’ve also been on the list.
November 1st, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Does someone recognize this film?
I remember watching a vampire movie about 15 years ago. I only remember that the movie begins with a scene where a blonde girl is running on a field just before the sunset and a carriage is following her.
I’d be so glad to know which movies this is!!!
November 2nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Twilight for the win. That series will become the best vampire movies of all time.

I really love the twilight books and I’ve been enthralled with vampire stories and books for a while but I was raised mormon and was shielded from a lot so can some other twilight fans recommend some of these movies that a twilight fan would like?? I love van helsing, interview with a vampire and underworld too. dont like too much cheesiness and fake gore though.
November 8th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
The Twilight Seriers Is the best! Thanks for the the list. now you now what movies i will be looking for! i have always been obsesive over vampires my whole life.lata
November 9th, 2008 at 12:02 am
That kind of sucks as far as lists go. Half of them are completely lame- and the other half i have never even heard of. The only ones that should even be on here are queen of the damned (even though it strayed from the book) fright night 1, Nosferatu (both versions), Dracula, Abbot and Costello (the one where they meet Dracula) interview with the vampire, blade (the first two), Blacula, vampire in Brooklyn, Bram Stokers Dracula, van Helsing, underworld, lost boys, Salem’s lot (the original not the TNT special version) , from dusk till dawn…. (Not in that order but you get the picture.)
there also movies like moms got a date with a vampire, and the little vampire- it’s not the graphics or weather it makes you wet your pants it’s the purity of the vampire and whether or not they can fulfill the myths of ordinary vampires. Bordello of Blood- OMG is you serious. It’s a lust filled sex addicts DREAM!!! It has very little to do with vampires- other than the fact that they ‘claim’ to be them. You can’t wear sunscreen and be able to go into the sun- and that’s NOT how you kill a vampire for real!
Some of the older films were better, they didn’t deviate as much from the traditional form of a vampire- Abbot and Costello was an amazing series and should DEFINITELY make the cut. Although I think Queen of the Damned should have a better spot on the list it is a shame- it is nothing like the book however it at least sticks to the traditions and that is the most important thing after all…. When my kid gets addicted to vampires like I did when I was 8 then I want him/her to know what a vampire TRULY is, not some frilly fru fru creature-
And as for the anime on the list- I love anime and all- but come on? Vampire knight didn’t even make the cut- (although it’s a tv show not a movie- but still….) I haven’t seen the anime so I cant be a fair judge on that but I will as soon as I see them.
Buffy should definitely made a better place on the list- I was a die hard Buffy fan since I was 8 that’s how I fell in love with vampires…. Well that and watching interview with the vampire a million times- Buffy sticks to most of the traditions and for the traditions it breaks it makes up sufficient excuses as to why they can be broken. (although the rules tended to get broken more in the show-)
And as for Twilight it is
November 10th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
loved your site and agree with most of your choices but what about “Mark of the Vampire” with Lionel Barrymore and Bela? For me, it was one of the scariest of them all.
November 11th, 2008 at 12:09 am
I’m wondering if Twilight the movie will have a place in this list when it’ll come out.
I also agree that Mel Brooks comedy about Dracula should be in the list, somewhere. It was too funny to not be mentionned.
Still, it’s a good thing to have this list, some good movies are suggested
November 12th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
where did you get all the cool framegrabs?
November 12th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
where would “Let the Right One In” be place on this list?
November 14th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Great list, but I’m mortified that there are no mention of “I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle”. It’s a classic if there ever was one.
November 16th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Umm hello? Twilight (2008)!!

you have got to be kidding. that cannot ever, ever go on this list. so, the list has some serious serious dodgy points, what is with queen of the damned being put so low??!!
but twilight is soppy teenage romantic shit. and i’m a teenager. that movie is just one great big epic fail in the books of any true vampire devotee.
November 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pm

whoever wants that try watching twilight nice movie and read the twilight saga seriouse
November 29th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

November 30th, 2008 at 11:23 pm

Twilight!! #1
December 11th, 2008 at 2:15 am

December 11th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Totally Forgot 30 Days of Night! Hello, and Lost Boys: The Tribe! Don’t Forget Twilight!
December 11th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Queen of the damned should be removed it wasnt really a vampire movie more of a demonic obsetion movie
December 13th, 2008 at 3:55 am
Twilight #1 ?? Come on now.. it wasn’t THAT good.. it was ok, but far from even being a #1 Vampire movie. Hell Interview with a vampire was a lot better than Twilight, and The lost boys…geez girls, i know Edward is cute but god.. get over it a little and make some sense.
December 13th, 2008 at 4:10 am
True Blood, the TV series is good too. Season too to come in August next year.
December 13th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
to be honest twilight is real good… @ spitwave i think ur jelous with edward cox every girl is talking about him…not you…lol… he is handsome and also the movies was real awosome…
December 14th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Oh yeah im a girl jealous of a guy… and to be honest, no not really. I enjoy my privacy rather than having some creeps follow me every time i get out of the house

I agree with Spitwave…I’m 17 and a twilight fan but come on that movie was complete crap compared to the movies on this list. And Lestat is way more gorgeous than Edward can ever hope to be (Stuart Townsend was perfect even if that movie is trash, and Interview was amazing as well). The guy who played Edward wasn’t even hot, and the effects were terrible. It was entertaining, but come on, there are way better vampires out there than Edward Cullen. And he didnt even have fangs (reread the novel–no fangs, and no aversion to sunlight except for the sparkling bit. wtf?).

This has got to be one of the worst assembled lists of vampire films ever created.
December 23rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
Twilight should be on the bottom of the list, alright. But the list doesn’t stretch into thousands and cover every movie ever, from worst to best.
December 24th, 2008 at 12:36 am
dude seriously they need to update this article what about twilight it has to be at least no. ten or nine or eight or seven or six or five or four or three otwo ONE
December 24th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
I totally agree with all those that says Twilight the movie sucks to the core. It’s so Buffy - Angel relationship only Angel (David Boreanaz) is hotter!
Comparing twins effect and twilight, twins effect is better.
December 25th, 2008 at 3:02 am

December 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Excellent List! And thankyou to everyone else who has added extra ones also! Great to see so many in one place! Also, there’s another great one that I’d like to share with you all called NETHERBEAST INCORPORATED IMDB Link
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787495/
This movei’s got Jason Mewes in it (for those of you who have seen the Jay & Silent Bob movies, -all very good) but aside from that, what makes this move good, is that it’s entire concept was exceptionally well done! I don’t want to spoil too much of the movie for you, mut it’s a must see!! Enjoy!!
December 27th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
I’m sorry but that uge list is a f***ing joke without “Let the Right One In”. Every vampiremovie produced from now on will be compared with that genre bender masterpiece. It’s def top 20. For me top 5. And why will it be remade by Hollywood?

*****TWILIGHT**** But I think it jumped around to much!!! I read the book and their was a lot of it to fit it all nice and neatly into a movie!!!! Lets hope that ****NEW MOON*** Will be more detailed and run more smoothly!!! And I really hope that they do all “FOUR BOOKS” into a movie and not just the first three!!! BREAKING DAWN was the best book of the whole series!!! It would be really interesting to see that book turned into a movie!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 10:53 pm
TWILIGHT the movies did not depict vampires for what the original vision of a common vampire is

Films we are - i think - hard to keep track - n that you’d wanna watch if you are a vampire nerd like me:
Daughter of Darkness
Night Cop
The Curse of the 7 golden vampires
Vampire Circus
Countess Dracula
Zoltan hound of Dracula
Vampire the masquerade - Blodlines (TV Series)
True Blood (TV Series)
Last Man on Earth
Martin
The Thirst
Mr Vampire trilogy
The Hamiltons
Nattens Engel
Sweeden’s making some shit hot vampire flicks - yes ‘let the right one in is a must see, n so is frostbiten, but to PEN - no, noone stole from fostbitten, if anything it was the other way around. both great films, but the graphic novel 30 days of night is based on, is older than the film frostbitten.
Great list guys

who ever liked twilight is a heavly ignorant vampire movie enthusist, it is plain and simple they defy far to many vampire laws to be vampire. it is as dark as the undead betsy books. so if ur a teen girl into pale guys fantasy concepts and averted by all things vampire or even gothic this movie is the masterbatory aid for u. go fuck yourself with a crosifix twilight fans.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Bram’s Stoker Dracula is the best vampire movie ever!! With no doubt!
Twilight is also OK, you can not compare the two, but is really a cute movie,not a frightening one…and yeah - Edward Cullen is very sexy
January 9th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Martina… kings to you for identifying bram stoker’s dracula as it was ment to be; a “real” vampire movie, the best of the best to be specific. But it saddens me that u do not discredit twilight as vampire film. kings to u stillp; kings to you
January 10th, 2009 at 3:33 am
why isnt twillight here?………….it suppose to get the top spot…………!!..ooh nd also let the right one in…………this is ancient history!!
January 11th, 2009 at 7:29 am
vampire films are cultest or horror films, there are exceptions but they can barly be called vampire films. underworld, vanhelsing, the legue of exstrodanery gentalmen; these are all action movies with fantasy concepts feturing vampires and made on modest budgets. while entertaining these moovies are not vampire films in the sence of the sub genre of cultest film. by the by twilight dosnt even make the rank of these atempts at film containing vampires; Twilight isnt even an atempt, it is a the film and popcultures idustry mustorbation of a halfbaked book series writen buy some1 who didnt do their reserch on europian foke-law, all twilight the movie was ment to do was make a quick buck in a overly impresionable generation that dosnt have the great sub-cultur movements of the past. twilight is the celluloid crossover to the capitalist based media driven “scr-emo” movement that was ultamatly generated by fat cats in a number of industries trying to create a new consumer audiance for specific subculture insinuated goods. in short fuck emoisim, mordern times anti-anarchy ways, the fat cats and most of all twilight. TWILIGHT ISNT A VAMPIRE MOVIE IT IS FESTERING SHIT JAMED INTO A FILM CANISTER
January 11th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
i haft to edmit there are a lot of good movies among your list but some of the are placed wrong i saw that one call vamp last night number 60 on the list so not worth it it was like so lame like in the end the vampire dies from sunlight and becomes nothing but bones. but her right arm (even tho its a skeleton arm) has just enoghf power to give the heroes the finger before diying completly, thats just so ruening the move even more.
i love your list but there are realy some misplaced ones among it.
since you have a list of vampire movies mabey u should make a list of their oppesits the wearwolfs, that would be cool, i just love wearwolfs.
January 11th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Sounds great, i haven’t seen a all of them, so I will try to rent some, or seek them on internet. Watching vampires movies to end the vacations, yesss =]
Oh, and about Twilight… The main idea of the story is cute, i admit it BUT, the movie itself is… kinda… Lame, sorry. And yea, I approve what morbius said, Twilight isn’t a vampire movie…at all. And, the principal “vampire” in it doesn’t even have the vampire appearance (at least, not in my definition). Oh, sorry, I meant: none of them did. Well, I think it was a teen movie, for teenies or Robert Pattinson’s groupie (or Edward Cullen if u prefer, ’cause most of them doesn’t even know the actor’s real name).
January 12th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
schreiner
the statmnet of werwolves being the opposit to vampires is a misconception brought on by the films featuring the ravishing kate beckinsale. vampirisom is the stealing of life essance to unnatraly extend ones own life beyound death, it isnt neciserily the whole bat thing (proof being norsvaitue and the wolf vamp in bram stokers dracula). and i would say a human cat would be more oposite to a wolf than a human bat.
by the by thank u nina
January 13th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Twilight, is and I’m not saying this as an opinion it’s really true I saw it on MSN.com and a bunch of other places, that it was the MOST successful vampire movie of all time. Check wikipedia.com, it even made more than Rush Hour 3!! So all of you out there who say it sucks, just look at the numbers and then talk. It’s still gonna make more, cuz in most places in Europe it hasn’t been released yet.
January 13th, 2009 at 11:00 am
All right Twilight is number 1
January 13th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Still not agree. Anyway, media are mostly bullshitting things…. do you really thing that the person who wrote the article saw the hundreds of REAL vampires movies, and then to be able to say it was THE BEST vampire film ever? Their article are based on NUMBERS. They are only saying that the NUMBERS are bigger than the other movies. Take an example on Nosferatu. Do you think a movie in the ’20s would make as much money and fans as today movies… Twilight might be in the tops, comparing to other most known movie of the late years. On MSN.com, c’mon, they don’t know much about each category of films, only on the overalls, and populars thinggy… Go do some research, I still NOT agree about Twilight being #1 vampire movie… geez
January 13th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
[…] discovered this little gem included on Snarkerati’s Top 70 Vampire Movies of All Time. It came in at #24, somewhere between Dracula’s Daughter and awesomeness that is The Monster […]
January 13th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I agree with u nina there only showing the # of people to actually but tickets to watch it, and that doesnt make it the best vampire movie ever. But honestly how can anyone say what the Best movie is? you cant because its all a matter of opinion. Someone can say that Twilight is the best vampire movie ever if they want to because its there opinion, and some one else can say that the 2000 dracula movie was the best vampire movie ever. Either way there is no saying what the best movie is because its all based on opinions. so they based it on #’s and in that sence twilight is one of the best vampire movies yet.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
UNDERWORLD:RAISE OF THE LYCANS(WEAR WOLF) AND TWILIGHT IS A NEW MOVIE IT WONT BE IN HERE YET
January 14th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Must say, there were only two people in this debate I could agree with, Matthew and Crystal. Thank you for you two, I thought I was one of the kind.
In my opinion, the best of the best really are Bram Stoker’s Dracula by Coppola and the Interview with a Vampire. Just the few words to describe them and all the other wonderful vampire movies which still are waiting to be done - dark, sensual and delicate.
Twilight sounds interesting, but I’m afraid it’s too teen movie for me
January 15th, 2009 at 9:36 am
i agree with ashes and nina there are only some of the greatest movies and they are missing a lot of realy good movies
January 15th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Thanks! This really helped me out. I’m doing a research paper for school and I needed the top ten Vampire movies… Thanks again!!
January 15th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
Definitely a strong list.
I myself am creating a Top 50 all-time Vampire Movie list.
I must, however, say that it is a shame that the rankings were decided solely through the averaged ratings of Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, and lack a kind of personal input.
I just wanted to point out that the Spanish version of Dracula [1931] was missing.
The importance in letting you know this, is that many think that it is simply the same Bela Lugosi version dubbed in Spanish, which is not the case. The Spanish version of Dracula is a completely different film, featuring an entirely Spanish-speaking cast, and a different director. Both, however, were filmed on the very same set, with the English version’s crew and cast filming early in the morning, while that of the Spanish version would shoot in the evening. Many believe it surpasses that of the English version…
I do not think so.. as Bela Lugosi’s performance almost made a mockery to that of Carlos Villarias’… but it is undeniable that it IS better in many ways; the cinematography for example was absolutely beautiful.. especially in the first 20 minutes or so..
I do realize that the addition of this film to your list in its current format would require that it has a rating at both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb… which it lacks. It WAS rated on IMDb at 7.1/10… but Rotten Tomatoes has failed at doing so.
I am not suggesting that you refine your list entirely, nor asking that you should change anything at all… but simply letting you know of this most important exclusion from your list.
January 16th, 2009 at 12:04 am
Twilight is sooo gay man! 90210 gay. You want hardcore vampires then Near Dark is the shit, should be in the top ten…#1 on my list anyway. I have to say Queen of the Damned really should not be on any list… well maybe the “All Time Piece of Shit” movie list…Twilight is #1 on that list though.
January 18th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Dracula: The Dark Prince is also a good movie : )
January 18th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Heyy…if you guys can help me i be so gratefull.

i just saw once,but i love that movie

January 19th, 2009 at 12:35 am
omg, what about twilight? that should be number one by now .. *grr*
January 19th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Omg The lost boys should be closer to #1 than that!!!
I saw a couple of these movies and they are great,
but soon you should add twilight in the list!
I love twilight, lost boys, interview with the vampire,
dracula, and near dark!!!
PS. Eddie twilight is SO not gay! IT ROCKS!!!
And yes Near dark is really awsome!
January 21st, 2009 at 4:20 pm
What moron could possibly say Twilight is a top 70 vampire movie? You a fool for suggesting it oughta be in the top 70, and should be banned from watching vampire movies for saying it oughta be #1. What kind of gay vampire movie is Twilight? Incredibly gay. It’s not exciting whatsoever and is too soppy of a freaking teeny love story. It’s not even like a good late 90s teen movie, but the gay Disney shit of the 2000s. It’s kids shit.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Moonlight the tv show is the best. i want it to come back. i think it was 2007 or 2008 when it was on tv
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:40 am
michael you rock but i think the banning of vampire movies would work against our case; if “they” do not experiance anything more than the festering tween crap of twilight ‘they’ will just continue to be ignorant of what it means to be a real vampire movie. these people are overly impretionable and dont know anything beyond the shit surved on a plater called mainstream media. yes their ignorance is agrovating and one may wish to hold the true pleasure a vampire film from such ignoramie but we are simply perpetuating the ignorance and there for creating more of the cultest film novices( or at least decreasing the stream of new found cultest film fans). in short if u dnt let people ebcome informed there will be more uninformed opintions made by a growing group of ignorance created by you the with holder of information. p.s twilight sucks ass as a vampire movie which is mainly becouse it is based on a trully shity book, and i think u made a good point of the new generation films; by the by i think ur confussing tween(another fucked by product of current times)film-e.g high school musical, and teen film -e.g death proof.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
It makes me sad to read people clump Twilight in the same category as Interview with the Vampire and the classics. Ugh, no thank you.
However. For those of you even putting Queen of the Damned into the same league with Interview, please, for the love of God, STOP. Queen of the Damned was written by people who spent -maybe- all of forty minutes skimming through The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned, and then deciding their idea of ~goth! vampires who are oh, so lonely was best. It wasn’t. The books tend to get a little boring and harpy at times, but the series didn’t deserve that quick-edited, piece of trash tarnishing it’s good name. (Even if Anne did that later with Blackwood Farm…)
If Twilight is added to this list, I will cry. I won’t deny that it’s going to be number one, for THIS generation, but that doesn’t mean it’s -good-. Quality over quantity, Stephenie Meyer, quality over quantity.
The Lost Boys: The Tribe doesn’t deserve to be on this list, either. If you like the Lost Boys and you’ve yet to see The Tribe, do yourself a favor and just pop The Lost Boys into your DVD, watch it again. I’m a huge Lost Boys (and David, of course) fan and I would have loved to support the film, if it wasn’t so -bad-. Alas, that’s just how things work.
I agree that I can’t understand why Buffy the Vampire Slayer the series wasn’t on this list. As someone else mentioned, the show came up with so much of it’s own lore, and it really helped bring the interest in the supernatural back. It was fantastically written and acted, humorous and witty and frightening all rolled into one. With seven seasons and a spin-off series on it’s list of achievements, all I can ask is how can this show NOT be on this list, or at the very least, the honorable mentions? How disappointing.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Oh, and I’m completely forgetting the season eight of Buffy provided by Dark Horse Comics in the list of achievements, as well as just the comics in general. Ah, well. My bad.
January 29th, 2009 at 3:46 am
i would have asked you to marry me april; but Buffy… realy, the tv followers i simply thought were sad people with no tast(tv is the lowest form of entertainment) and the comics are the nastiest stories pediled out by dark horse even more so than pigions from hell. but the idea in you articulated in 4.30 post is exactly what i’v been trying 2 say yet it seems very few grasp the concept
January 31st, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Mr Vampire is the best Vamp film ever…. not even on your list… boo!!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Twilight is another adaptation of a well written book that doesn’t do the author or story line justice. I can respect the opinion of vampire fans who feel the “traditional” vampire presence is not captured in the over-all look of the Cullen coven. However, I appreciate Stephanie Meyers’ new take on what a modern vampire would evolve to be over the course of the many millenniums they can supposedly live. The reason I’m making this argument is that I am an ardent fan of the tetralogy that is Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. They’re very well written, but Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, failed to impress me. The writing for the film, even the casting in some instances, was not very well thought out. I have higher hopes for New Moon with Chris Weitz as the director. Great list, by the way. I have some shopping to do, it would seem…
Happy Saturday!

P.S. Hate to be a pain in the ass, but… It’s called Spell Check. It’s widely accepted as one of the easiest ways to keep yourself from looking like an imbecile on comment threads and forums across the world. I hear it’s free and easily accessible from any email program. Some of you might be well served to look into such a thing.

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO twilight is a wonderful movie and i loved it but i have to agree it shouldn’t be up in the top spot…it was nothing like the books and the acting sucked a little there is better movies then twilight but Edward was sexy…
February 1st, 2009 at 11:44 pm
I was extremely dissapointed to find out that Twilight was not on this list. All of these movies (well, most) portray vampires to be the bad guys when they clearly don’t have to; they can drink animal blood. They are not dark creatures and what makes a vampire story good is when the vampire tries to deny his/her nature and clings to his/her humanity. I also like stories where the female is the vampire, not the male. And also where they sparkle in the sun instead of burning and they can’t sleep at all and they live forever and they can’t eat human food and they have extremely pale skin and are extremely strong and their skin is indestructable and granite-hard, so there is no way a “stake” can kill them….only other vampires, and werewolves and werecats, can kill vampires (by tearing them to shreds and burning the pieces…if the pieces are not burned then the vampire can put him/herself back together again).
All of the movies on here SUCK compared to Twilight. But the vampires in Twilight are the real and true beautiful bloodsuckers! Go vampires! Good guy vampires! Vegetarian vampires!
February 1st, 2009 at 11:54 pm
The person who said “Twilight is sooo gay” posted under the name “Eddie”…HILARIOUS!!! You basically called yourself gay, Eddie. EDWARD CULLEN! Twilight is NOT gay. Twilighbt is not cheesy. Just because Edward falls in love does not make him less of a vampire. It is so deep that Edward hates himself and what he is and is so selfless and tries to deny his nature by drinking animal blood and he has a family and Twilight proves that vampires can still love each other instead of being nomads and also there are werewolves in Twilight; vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies but they work together to save Renesmee from the Volturi…Renesmee is a half Vampire (Bella’s daughter), and Jacob Black, a werewolf who used to be in love with Bella who is in love with Edward, imprinted on Renesmee. Imprinted means he is destined to be with Renesmee. Twilight is the best, most powerful, and most enlightening vampire romance in the world. Eddie, Twilight is NOT gay. Although, you are basically just calling yourself gay, and Edward Cullen is NOT GAY. Ok? Twilight is beautiful. I am Twilight.
February 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 am
Spitwave, Twilight touches issues that most vampire stories fail to address. Most of us, or at least I, like Twilight not because of Edward’s outer cover (i.e. his attractiveness) but because of his moral-based-masochistic-ness and how he thinks that he doesn’t have a soul. One other person commented here dissing twilight…elina or something like tht.
Anyways, Twilight is about mastering self-control; Bella is the ultimate test in Edward’s self-control - being around Bella puts Edward in physical pain but he still chooses to be around her and he doesn’t harm her….in fact, he saves her life multiple times. Against all odds, they fall in love. Bella represents a willingness to do everythinh and sacrifice anything for one you love. She sacrifices her life to save her mother in the first book, and eventually plans to sacrifice her humanity to be with Edward forevermore. Twilight is an important transition in vampire lore. The Cullens - “vegetarian” vampires - are portrayed more like a group of superheroes than a group of “dark creatures” - in Twilight, vampires aren’t night creatures; they don’t burn in the sun…they sparkle (therefore, no one can call Twilight cliche. this is a new development in vampire myth and folklore). Another message in Twilight is that everyone messes up sometimes, loses control, but it will still be okay in the end. True love is about two people being willing to make safrices for each other. Also, “mortal enem ies” - vampires and werewolves - joining forces and accepting each other to combat a common enemy is such an obvious metaphor for World War 2. Also, the Volturi (the vampire government) is a metaphor for corruptive, powerhungry governments.
Don’t say that Twilight vampires are not real vampires or that they are sissy vampires because just because they are morally strong does not mean that they are not physically strong; no, Twilight isn’t the vampires religions were thinking of when they ban people to talk about, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a potential to be just as dark and monstreous….they are; the Cullens and Denali’s are 10% of the vampires in Twilight and are an anomaly among the vampires; most of the vampires give in to their natural predator instincts and hunt humans…Jane, James, Victoria, Aro, Laurent, Demetri, Peter, to name a few. Also, don’t say they aren’t as strong, because Twilight vampires have indestructible granite-like skin that cannot be pierced, much less staked. HAHA, “staking” cannot kill a vampire. yeah right. Sun doesn’t kill vampires either. Only werewolves, werecats, and other vampires can. (=

To Nina: Twilight IS a vampire movie. Just because they don’t look like what you think vampires should look like….i.e., having the “vampire appearance”….doesn’t mean they aren’t vampires. They are pale, extremely attractive, have razor sharp teeth, sparkle in the sun, and are extremely strong. You have no way of knowing whether the old vampire movies are what vampire movies are what vampires are supposed to look like, or if Twilight, the new vampires, is. Who knows, maybe there are more than one species of vampires. You can’t just try to discredit Twilight as a vampire movie. Twilight is a vampire move; it is about vampires; Stephanie Meyers said that they were vampires so they are. And Edward does look like a vampire. And how DARE you say that Alice doesn’t look like a vampire? And Jasper?!?!?!!? Comeon, Nina. Stop it. Twilight is a vampire movie. You can’t just say that its NOT. You are a spawn of the devil.

emilia said, “but twilight is soppy teenage romantic shit. and i’m a teenager. that movie is just one great big epic fail in the books of any true vampire devotee.”
GO TO HELL EMILIA! TWILIGHT IS NOT AN EPIC FAIL TO ME, A TRUE VAMPIRE DEVOTEE.
What, emilia, do you think vampires are real or something? Well, I do to, so don’t insult me by saying Twilight is not a legitimate vampire story. You’re just saying its soppy because I bet you’re gothic and depressed; its not shit just because its romance. It is not cheesy at all…read my two adjacent posts explaining why. It is not just for teenagers, either. It is for all ages.
February 2nd, 2009 at 5:32 am
‘Twilight ‘ makes u fall in love with vampires.you enter a world where good virtues are not only human but some vampire instinct too.Its one of the best fictions I have ever read in my life.Very well detailed all characters come to life,especially Edward cullen, portray as already said , his fight with himself to maintain human instincts being a vampire and be around Bella all the time protecting her really makes one fall in love …….Edward cullen and Bella.
Profound thanks to Stephanie Meyers for giving us ‘Twilight’.

Hey guys! i’m looking for vamp-movies which are similar to twilight or moonlight (series) e.g. movies with a bit of romance and vamps that don’t burst to flames in the sun or are ridiculously afraid of holy water/crucifixes.
can anyone give me some recommendations?
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:30 pm
i think that twilight should be number 2 at least because it is a vampire movie!!
February 6th, 2009 at 7:23 am
TWILIGHT IS TOTALLY #1 OF ALL TIME OUT OF ANY MOVIE ON THE PLANET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT SHOULD BE A TV SHOW INSTEAD OF MOVIE SO WE CAN SEE IT EVERYDAY BUT THE WHOLE SERIES SHOULD IN ONE MOVIE
February 6th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Hy 2 all i’m from romania…and i want 2 say that twilight suck’s and the best movie of vampire is Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Interview with the Vampire Best actors best story and respects the rullez of the original volum of dracula
P.S. Vampire story gives a bad name to our history.So please don’t say that dracula is a part of our history…Vlad Tepes was a great man and a grea king to our country he fought the turks for cristi……
With all respect twilight comes in number 90 to me….doesn’t respect the book and it’s more of a pussy-movie…. no horror-movie at all!!!!It’s a great romantic story BUT NOT A VAMPIRE MOVIE!!
February 6th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
twilight should now definitly be on this list…
February 7th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I loved twilight it was the best!!In other movies people say
vampires are bad but to me If they existed they would be good
well except them sucking human blood.I think new moon will
even be beter.

Question? When I was a kid in the 70’s I use to watch this old vampire movie in black and white. About a girls school. I think the girl’s name was Nancy(?). One of the teachers used hypnosis ( I think) on Nancy and she would transform into a vampire. There was some type of amulet involved. I remember the transformation of her face was shown several time during the movie. It was real creepy. Of course I was only 10 at the time. The movie aired on Svengoolie. Anybody have any idea what that movie was? I would love to get my hands on it.
February 8th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
nice list info. Found titles I did not know of. I grew up watching b/w and then also finally color films. My hubby is so into all scifi films. I also have seen the newer films due to my kids as they grew up…such as lost boys, interview with a vampire, etc. There is a film I remember watching in the early to mid- 70’s, but was probably made in the early 60’s, in color, and pretty sure was a europeon made. I can not remember the title, it was something to the effect of,either, house of blood, or hotel of blood, or on the other side, blood hotel, or blood house. I remember the vamp bit a woman, she wound up dead, then a vampiress, and they found here glass top coffin empty one night, so they waited for her to return, and once she was in the coffin they drove a wooden stake into her heart. Then I remember the very end where the original vampire returned to his coffin in the ground very close to dawn and was too late, and the sun hit him and he turned to ash with his right arm and hand up and he had a ring on one finger that was still there after all that was left was his skeleton. does anyone know the movie was I am talking about. I remember that the women dress was bustiea? and huge puffy skirted dresses, and men seemed to always have suits and tye’s or maybe even tux’s. So setting was in the 50’s to early 60’s maybe. anyway’s as far as the list goes, to me it doesn’t really matter who’s on first, or what’s on second, because it’s gonna be different for each person. I’ve been watching vampire, werewolf, mummy, etc. movies for over 45 years, so, number 1, is going to change for me all the time. if any body has any info please share. thx
February 15th, 2009 at 12:02 am
Oh God…I swear the amount of Twilight fangirls on here…
‘Oh, I only like the kind of vampires that SPARKLE even though Stephenie Meyer never actually gave a reason WHY they would sparkle.’
‘Hell, forget years of widely accepted vampire mythology, research, and uh…stuff you learn in basic History (the banks failing in the Great Depression yet Rosalie gets to live in a nice house because her father works in a bank.)
And it all came to me in a dream! ‘
Those things totally don’t apply to how I want my vampires to be. Oh…and humans should probably all be seen as complete idiots except for my self-insert Beautiful Swan (even though she’s totally not special or beautiful at all. She’s so plain. Seriously. A bunch of human guys (including one of her teachers) just like her because ’she’s something new to look at’) because I can’t have her acting like normal humans…humans are too boring. That’s why I’m anti-human. And she shouldn’t be the least bit scared of my 107 year old sparkly, controlling, stalker vampire (because ’stalking is awesome!!’) because he’s hot and she loves him after three weeks of knowing him and then they eventually get married, Bella’s changed (and since she’s no longer human she can finally feel like she’s Edward’s equal,) and has a Mary Sue baby which absolutely works the love triangle because now I can pair Jacob with Bella’s daughter!!!
I hope Cirque Du Freak isn’t made into a crappy movie.

*gasp*
I’m offended
They forgot Twilight
I must know when this site was made
Obviously before Stephenie (the genius) Meyer invented the new Vampire breed and one person in particular, Mr Edward Anthony Mason Cullen!
Twilight may have gotten horrible reviews as a movie, I being a Twilighter agree, But the book is far superior to the horrific job Catherine Hardewick did.
There has to be a list for best Vampire books ever published, yes yes Bram Stoker would be first, but followed very closly by Twilight in my opinion.

Message for Eddie:
obviously we do not want hardcore vampires, we want Edward Cullen and Jasper Hale! (for the Twilight guyz, we also want Alice and the gorgeous Rosalie!)
You can go on ad have your list Eddie, but we will always have Twilight t the top of ours!
February 15th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
It’s unbelievable that people truly think Twilight should be on this list of TOP vampire movies… and even more so, that it should be number 1??? Get serious, please!! I wouldn’t even put it on the list for the worst vampire movies because it doesn’t even deserve to be considered a vampire movie at all. Go put it on some list right next to “the Notebook” or some shit like that, not on a top vampire movie list… get real.
February 16th, 2009 at 4:05 am
[…] Now I am of course passingdisappearing to shout obsoleteout of date Anne Rice and her Vampire Chronicles, because she is the Queen of the Vampire genre (yes its a genre now) and we owe all of this madness to her (Tom Cruise was not nearly tastefulin good taste or winningengaging sufficientadequate to play Lestat popularfavourite Interview with The Vampire). Both True Blood and Twilight make references to her work, so the inspiration is clear. And I have to give some love to Buffy and Angel, that brought vampires into tv pop-culture. And then there’s Blade, which made it vividintense that swarthyswart people can be vampires too! (see Twilight Movie character Laurent). And I’m passingdisappearing to uniformhomogeneous give props to the film Underworld, which beats Queen of the Damned any day….obviously.There are so variousdifferent variousdifferent more Vamp Films.

February 17th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Twilight is so cool>how could anybody say that it is plain, wunt dare mayte> if u have read the books, you wunt say that!!! but i have to admit>the films are not as good as the books>>>>maybe if they put more of the book in the film, it would be perfect¬¬¬¬ i am like the biggest twilight fan>> 14 yrs old
February 18th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
im surprised blade, underworld, van helsing and interview with a vampire arent higher.
plus twilight does deserve to be up there although it isnt traditional it does make people wish vampires exist which means its a vampire movie
plus the sparkly thing with the sun is a good idea it is a better excuse than “oh i cant go out in the sun because despite the fact im immortal, strong, fast and generally indestructable, the sun kills me in seconds”
February 19th, 2009 at 3:40 am
2 micheal: if it werent against my religion, id give u a good hard slap across the face thatd leave a bruise! i think ur just jealous of edward cuz hes like way hot and u know ur ugly! so be a good little asshole and SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
2 morbius: BEEP BEEP BEEP, WRONG! im not like that AT ALL. i find tan guys attractive, not pale 1s… robert pattinson just happens 2 be so hot that the paleness doesnt matter… and i dont have a sex drive, tyvm! dont assume that every person on the planet has shit left over from the stone age!
2 Zack: nah, i dont think the dracula from that 1 is good looking. nope, he cant even be called “reasonably cute”.
i find the history of romania fascinating, actually. if ur referring 2 the turkish, then thats not very nice cuz i have a friend and shes turkish and shes like the sweetest, most innocent person ever. shes a great friend and i know i can tell her anything and shell never tell anybody.
i enjoyed twilight. i cant stand horror movies. my friend once told me that she thought i was a cereal (thats how u spell it, right?) killer. i told her that that was impossible, bcuz jason never screamed/and/or passed out from fear at horror movies or got night mares from watching star wars. it just doesnt work that way. and twilight can 2 be a vampire movie. just bcuz it doesnt have romance in it and it doesnt have as much horror as u would like, doesnt mean its a bad vampire movie. it just means that the person who wrote the script knows that there r ppl like me out there; ppl who r obsessed with vampires but hate horror movies. im very greatful 2 that made that movie bcuz i finally found a vampire movie that i can actually watch.

I must say that EdwardCullen’sSecretLover must not have seen Interview with a Vampire with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt… Pitt trys to live on the blood of animals and does his best to hold onto a trace of humanity…. until Twilight it was one of my favorites.
February 27th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Interview with the vampire is the best vamp movie out there for me!
February 27th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
To all other vampire and Twilight fans!
Twilight is a damn good movie. It’s a romantic flick about a supernatural human being, like Spider Man or Superman. But it is NOT a movie about vampires. Why? First of all you have to ask yourself why we invented vampires in the first place. Wasn’t it because we wanted thrilling stories about a deadly threat towards humans?
Of course it was. A vampire should bite, infect or kill humans, and drink their blood. It’s the essential idea about them. This is actually the basic problem, maybe the only one, with Twilight. The romance between Bella and Edward can’t exist if he kills people. The author had to make him to a “vegetarian”. To call Twilight a vampire movie is to degrade not only the vampire genre, but most of all, degrade Twilight itself.
I like Twilight as a romantic story including a supernatural human being and a human girl. I hate it as a vampire story. Fans of Twilight: Don’t degrade Twilight to the vampire genre.
Take a real vampire romance as an example. The vampire in “Let the Right One In”, Eli, is a 12 year old vampire child. She is a killing machine, a creature, a deadly threat, a real vampire. She kills five (5) more or less innocent people, including children, sucking their blood, twist their necks or even decapitate them. She is also inderctly responsible for 2 more deaths.
Despite her horrific actions, she is actually our big hero, this films savior. That, my friends, is good storytelling including vampires. When we walk out from the theater we have to ask ourselves what kind of bestial reactions this movie actually generated. That’s horror.
That’s the problem with Twilight, at least the first film in this serie. The author has to explain the new rules to justify her story. In “Twilight”, everything has to be distinctly shown and verbalized. “Let the Right One In” leaves it to the greatest tool you possess - your imaginative mind. That makes it the better film of the two and one of the best vampire movies ever.
Hopefully your imaginative mind will be thrilled in the next Twilight movie. But then it has to leave the vampire genre. For me, it already has. That makes it better. I’m just waiting for all other Twilight-fans.
March 4th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Be a Twilight fan, it’s ok. But don’t mention that movie as a vampire movie.
That’s all i had to say.
And… I’m not a fan.
Pour les francophones, je dirais que c’t'un film cucul d’amour pour groupies pre-puberts.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:53 am

Good Lord, I was SO SCARED Twilight was going to show up on this list…and as it wasn’t showing up the further I scrolled down, the more terrified I was that it was going to be in the freaking top ten or something.
THANK YOU.
Now I want to check a few of these movies out.
March 11th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
this list needs to be updated with “let the right one in”
March 11th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Have any of you seen “Let The Right One In”? Its a Swedish independent film, It’s pretty good. It reminded me of my time in Finland. I would have to agree with Buffalo on thier take.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Sigh.
Buffalo, you make some very good points, as did one other Twilight fan among the crowd here, but it seems most of the Twilight fans are too stupid to comprehend that this is not a vampire film and should not be included in the vampire genre. You’ll (as in whoever happens to read this) understand that I am only going by what I’m given, which, for the most part, is a bunch of teenagers with cutesy, Twilight-related usernames, screaming about how Twilight should be number one and resulting to name calling when someone insults their precious fandom. Kids, take debate and enrich yourselves on bettering your arguments.
I think the whole point of the series was lost on them, save for how “hot” the leading actor was in the film. More’s the pity for Twilight fans who have some intelligence. You seem to be outnumbered greatly.
Still, none of this inclines me to see the film, and I’m sorry, but I’m not reading a book that was written in six months. The concept sounds cheesy to me, and like I said: quality over quantity. That’s not to say I didn’t try; I did, and it wasn’t worth it, in my humble opinion.
morbius, buddy — haha, sorry. I can’t help my love for Buffy, it was a show that my mother and I actually agreed on and would make sure to catch every week since it’s premiere. But I do and did understand the point you were trying to convey, and hey, it’ll always go unregistered with most people. The only hear what they want to hear, and they read what they want to read.
Now, I came back for a title, so shh! Such distracting comments.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Cool post! I’m now going to make it a personal mission of mine to watch everyone of thed
March 13th, 2009 at 1:03 am
30 Days Of Night??? should have been on in the top ten but it got screwed over by some old dude with elf ears..
March 13th, 2009 at 1:16 am
OK even if you were to totally throw out the definition of “Vampire” and add Twilight to this lis it would rank somewhere in the neighborhood of 45. with a 6.1 IMDB, and a 5.4 RT score leaving you with an average of 5.75 so mediocre at best.
Though seriously Queen of the Damned was that well liked by internet critics anonymous.
March 13th, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Wow, this is an interusting list. I read through it and noticed only 4 movies i had seen, out of them all. Some of the pictures were totally gross, and unneeded. Other than that i liked it, it was pretty cool. Way better than the phony fick Twilight, but hey, im a sucker for old things.
March 14th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
One last thing, because I was considering this (and people have just continued to prove my point, coughsmirk)… you’re asking the editor to place TWILIGHT in front of the FIRST vampire movie EVER?
In other words? Shut up. It’s not going to happen. Nosferatu DESERVES to be first, seeing as it WAS THE FIRST. Twilight, not so much. At all. Ever.
Thank you.
March 14th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Alright, when I first commented on this board, I have to admit that I hadn’t yet seen Twilight. I hated the concept right from the beginning and that made me not ever want to see it. So, I sat down and watched it. Well I have to say I was wrong to think it was Terrible. Truth is, it was far worse. I couldn’t even get through the first 20 minutes. To consider it a vampire movie really is down right ridiculous. Living off animal blood, walking around during the day, sparkling and having no fangs… thats not a vampire. Bear Grylls from Man vs. Wild has had a couple episodes where he’s drank animal blood for survival (and if you slapped some glitter on him, i’m sure he could pull off the sparkling effect as well ) my point being… thats hes never once called himself a vampire, right?
However, I must say that I do have respect for the people who liked it and agree that it shouldn’t be considered a vampire movie. I just can’t believe how many others say it should be number one among ALL vampire movies. Have any of you ever seen another “vampire movie” besides twilight? Your all probably 10-12 years old, so I doubt it. Well in a couple years, when mommy lets you see a movie with a higher rating than pg-13, maybe you’ll realize the stupidity of your comments. And for the older girls who only want the movie to be #1 because of that douche bag edward…. please! Enough already!
March 15th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Wow you have obviously spent alot of time getting up on your vampire knowledge… Have you ever been outside????
Anyway I’m 23 “not just some silly little kid” & I thought Twilight was a refreshing break from the usual “blood thirsty” movie… I mean come on, it was getting a bit boring now wasn’t it… It’s about time somebody came up with a new concept, and have you ever read the books??? They are beautifully written. I agree that twilight should be in the list somewhere but not first (not over the first Vamp film) because hello… It’s about Vampires whether you want to believe it or not… It makes me laugh how offended people are getting lol!!! Oh & just for your info, Robert Pattinson is fine… ain’t no denying that

I was looking for this movie I saw where they had this vampire in a basement chained to this seat/table and the guy was studying the vampire. He found out that vampires love to count things and untie knots and something else, but I don’t remember. These people discovered the vampire in the basement and the guy that was keeping him was explaining to the people about his study. somehow the vampire got free from his bondage and went after the people. I remembered as the vampire was coming, the guy threw some tooth picks or matches at the vampire and he counted them befor they hit the floor. Then the guy laid out this net of rope that was in knots and the vampire stopped to undo the knots before continuing to go after the people. There is more but I don’t remember. It was in the 1990’s I think when I saw this movie and it might have been on HBO. If anyone have an idea or suggestion about the name of this movie,please contact me at yanu_8@msn.com. Thanks!

I knew that when I came across this list, idiot fangirls would glomp all over this page and say “OMG WHERE IZ TWILIGHT!?!?” please. Twilight doesn’t have enough film merit to live up to the likes of the silent era Dracula films or Hammer Horror films, or even to Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Interview With the Vampire (the first to feature the “hot good guy vampire” [Louis] type) it may stand the test of time with the movie flops Van Helsing and Queen of the Damned though. maybe.
and don’t be telling me that something teeney like Twilight can unseat THE first vampire film of modern century, THE classic of all classics, and THE forerunner for all of the vampire films to come, Nosferatu. that’s ridiculous. if anything, or something comparable to Twilight, “Let the Right One In”, both novel and film adaption, should unseat Twilight and should be more deserving of the spotlight than overhyped Twilight.
@ Ookami: if you read carefully, Hellsing didn’t make #1 on this list; Nosferatu did, of course. Hellsing received honorable mention, but I’m so glad it did. currently my favorite Japanese manga/graphic novel series. the anime was horrible, but the Original Video Animation, Hellsing Ultimate, follows the original storyline a lot closer than the anime.
And Vampire Hunter D too, for making it on the list…twice!

i like a lot of these movie and i do think that some should be off the list.but some were just for fun. there are always the classics that no matter how old or young you are you know the movie or if in ten years someone remembers the ones made in the 90s or this decade they might say its a classic. but i still love the lost boys……………….
March 20th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
oh and if anyone else has read the christopher pike series The last vampire i think they should make that into a movie it would beat out some of these other ones. and hate to say it but twilight was an ok movie but this series would be a better movie
March 21st, 2009 at 1:30 am
I was wondering, I saw these 2 movies when I was a kid growing up in the 80’s and I have no clue the names all I really remember is bits and fragments. The first is this kid and his family move into a new house and weird things start to happen to them they all start turing into monsters. It’s supposed to be a comedy and the scene I remember is his sister kissing a bat. Weird I know. And the other is this guy and girl go to this castle where there are vampires and hisgirlfriend gets suduced by the head vampire and he sends his vampire women after the boyfriend. But he escapes them from help from a vampire hunter, but the vimpire hunter gets bitten. The scene that sticks out is when the vampire hunter gets bitten he is talking to himself in front of a mirror and slowly starts to fade. I know my explanatiosn are vague but to me these are classic moviers and I would love to watch them again lol..that is if I find them.
March 23rd, 2009 at 9:33 pm
well… if i wear to pic the #1 vampire movie or show it would have to be TWILIGHT?/show: Tru Blood…thats wat i think and interview with the vampire should had been a least # 7!!!
March 24th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
To all those fans saying Twilight should be on the list;
This is a list of VAMPIRE movies. Meyerpires are NOT VAMPIRES. They are large, carnivorous FAIRIES.

(Interview with the vampire and Queen of the Damned)
March 29th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
wtf wahat about twilight
March 29th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
THOSE ARE VERY SCARY PICS!!
March 29th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Honestly, that list doesn’t do it for me, a lot of those movies are crap, only because they’re from the 70’s or 80’s doesn’t necessarily make them good… And on the other hand you left movies like Interview with the Vampire as number 15??? Are you guys crazy???? The same with Lost Boys and other REAL classics… Yeah, Nosferatu was fine as #1 but other choices were left way behind, and other crap got higher rankings, you guys REALLY need to re-make that list… I LOVE Vampires and I wanna see a list that REALLY makes them justice, not just any low budget, bad acted crap on a high ranking.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:34 am
There is one film that I didn’t see anyone mention. It’s Karmina (1996). It’s MADE IN QUÉBEC, so obviously french, but they translated it
hehe
Sorry but I hated John Carpenter’s Vampire… so typical, boring and not enough of the vampire. Too much slayer. Plus the dialog, bleeeeh! That’s all I have to say.
My faves are Interview with a Vampire, and well I’m a sucker for the romance, Twilight I loved! But not just the movie, the books as well, they are awsome! The myth is a little different from all the other ones, which I really liked…

But not just the movie, the books as well, they are awsome!

So get over it!
March 30th, 2009 at 9:52 am
oh and there was one with Jude Law, a strange vampire movie, but I foget the name. Anyone seen this?
And another Quebec vampire movie, actually pretty good is Eternel (2004)
March 30th, 2009 at 9:57 am
oh just found it, I saw the movie with Jude Law under the title Immortality and I guess it was renamed The Wisdome of Crocodiles… Weird…
March 30th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
If one more retard says that Twilight should be #1
I will go on a rampage.
It is the shittiest Vampire movie I have ever seen.
It does not even -deserve- to be called a Vampire movie.
Edward is a f*cking FAIRY.
March 30th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
twilight,interview with the vampire, and queen of the damned are my favorite vampire movies.edward cullen and lestat are so HOT!!!!!i think robert was a good choice for edward.And tom cruise was good for lestat he’s very sexy in the interview with the vampire but even though i love twilight i think interview with the vampire is a #1 classic movie
March 30th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
sorry but the vampire chronicles kicks ass
March 30th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
i wish all the books in the vampire chronicles series were made into movies.i wish vampires were real .then my life would never be miserable
March 30th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
“Let the Right One In” needs to be added.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
I haven’t seen the vast majority of these movies, but “Queen of the Damned” should probably be taken off, and “Twilight” is a joke.
March 31st, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Man,you guys suck!
Twilight is the BEST!!! I watch it all the time and i’ve read all of Stephanie’s books, She is like genius to write something like that!
It is so not gay!!!
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
to eric - post on March 20th - the vampire movie you are looking for is Dracula II: Ascension.
A researcher with a crippling disease captions a vampire and performs tests on him, trying to use the vampire blood as a cure. Keeps the vampire in place /busy by tying him with a bunch of knots, etc. The girl the vampire hooks up with is Diane Neal (?) who played the Casey, the red-haird DA on Law & Order.

April 4th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
HEY HEY! DO NOT FOR GET TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It`s not a joke just because it didn`t have as much action doesn`t mean it`s a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It`s still a good movie and the books are awesome!!
April 4th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
i am so glad to see that Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter made the list. I didn’t think many people knew about it. And they forgot to mention that the vampires that Jesus Christ must eliminate happen to be lesbian biker chicks… perfect.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:30 am
i believe twilight is the best runnin vampire movie out right now
April 5th, 2009 at 7:03 am
What about twilight?
April 5th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
oh man u didnt do twilight
lol your probably doin the more older vamp movies huh? lol i love twilight if yall havent seen the movie yet then u need to cuz i think its the best movie ever!lol but yea i like those others good job.i’m like a twilight freak lol iv read all the books and i have 5 posters and i have the movie and when it was in theaters i seen it 6 times lol
April 5th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
thats my opinion that twilight is the best vampire movie ever
April 6th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Twilight is a good movie but it is NOT a Vampire movie.
Vampire = Creature living on human blood.
April 7th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
oh my god i watched “let the right one in” and i didnt like it at all and i love vampire films but that one was really bad:(
April 7th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Let the right one in…. was an exceptional vampire romance. It was innocent, yet with a touch of gore… More realistic than most… In my opinion it really captured “human” emotions for the viewer… I know i was moved by a few significant moments… it was movingly beautiful… Where has love like that gone? or does it even exsist at all. Moreover, check out the book. I found it equally impressive, yet invitingly different. If anyone has any comments or other films or books. Please email me at Donavan28@hotmail.com.

April 8th, 2009 at 2:54 am
wow… i must say this is quite the collection. i found this site looking to expand my vampire movie collection. i actually took the time to read all of the comments… they start out as knowledable vampire fans discussing classics. then the twi-fans learn about vampires, and it turns into a generational debate.
there are too many of the movies listed that i haven’t seen yet. i love classics and plan to indulge myself. some of my obsessions began with the series Buffy. but i must say that i will forever be a fan of the books written by Anne Rice. I feel that her description will always be closest to the vampires in my fantasy. i have mostly seen 90’s movies so i am speaking from limited experience.
one thing that must not be forgotten is that all legends, myths, stories, and movies must change over time. the classics will ALWAYS remain classics. they were meant to be horrors. they were supposed to be dark, grotesque creatures. i have always felt that vampires should be intoxicatingly beautiful on the outside, so as to seduce the unsuspecting victim. but on the inside they are meant to be dark and brooding and evil. all evil pretends to be innocent to draw in its victim.
i have never read the twilight books. but i did watch the movie on youtube (thank you i didn’t pay for it!)
my opinion, although some of the previous comments state it better, is that it is a movie for the younger generation. one fight scene?????? comeon. it could have been waaaaay better. and only 2 people died?? maybe the book is better, maybe the second one will have more action… or maybe thats all there is to it. but i couldn’t categorize it as a vampire movie. yes he is called a vampire. yes all legends change over time. but it saddens me to see so many twi-fans calling it the #1 vampire movie. go watch every vampire movie ever made, then read every book ever written. then you can say it’s YOUR favorite book and movie. but never call it the best vampire story.
everybody is entitled to their own fantasy, but at least do your research. i prefer real horror movies, no chic flicks. bloody, sexy, gorey, hellish good time!

There is a vampire movie I saw years ago in which the main vampire character lived in a castle with his mom. He talked with a hiss to his voice and he talked slowly …at the end he put his mother in a cage because she was going to hurt the woman he loved. He had long blonde hair or white hair. Please e-mail me if you know which one I am talking about. ggregory_nby@yahoo.com

okay anyone who actually read the twilight book series knows that even though Meyer help direct it it wasn’t accurate the scence’s were off and the actors did a horrible job except the actors with the least amount of screen time. Bella Swan suddered to much and didn’t look at him as if there was no one else and the scene where he smelled her i must admit it was funny but it shouldn’t be at that moment he was thinking about killing everyone just so he could eat her! Look if you actually read the book and not get lost in your head you’d know that heck i’m 14 and i love the books but the movie sucked and not in the good way. D:

twilight is not good. thats why it is not on this list. sorry girlies
April 11th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Ok, lemme put out this fire before it gets any worse: this list was made two years ago, before Twilight even came out.
Besides, if you came to this site expecting to find Twilight on the top 70 Vampire Movie listing of all time, then you should kill yourself. Watch the first five minutes of the movie “Idiocracy” and you’ll understand where I’m coming from.
White hot rage blinds me. TWILIGHT appears on this page 262 times (as of 4/11/09). I really, truly, with every ounce of me hope that you all die horrible deaths - boring, cliché, unimaginative deaths. You are everything that is wrong with this world.
April 11th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
what about “Let the Right One In”? i know it’s in Swedish and all but it is a hell of a good movie if your into such movies
April 11th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
The “Twilight” movie IS a joke. Period. As for the books, I really don’t think there’s much point in defending them. I read most of one (I got it for Christmas, and I really, really did want to give it a chance), and it was a painful experience of bad writing, whiny, shallow characters, and a real bore of a storyline. In fact, the books MAY be more insufferable than the movie. But it’s hard to say. It’s all teeny bopper bullshit. And if you’re into that, fine, just stop insisting that it should be number one on the list, or on it at all. So, yeah.. I’m really sorry, and it’s been said, but fuck you. Truly.
I still love “Let the Right One In”. It’s probably the best movie I’ve seen recently. If it hadn’t been so close to bedtime when I first finished watching it, I might have even watched it again. : )
April 12th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
ive never heard of let the right one in i guess i better watch it and as for twilight i didnt know that this list was made 2 years ago but ive read all the books and i do think that the movie was kinda off from the the book but i really want to see breakingdawn lol the book was interesting but it will probably be made differently from the book but as for the rest of the vampire movies i havent seen all of them but the ones that i have saw there good and i have to go see let the right one in.
April 13th, 2009 at 1:51 am
There’s a reason “Twilight” is not on the list and that is because as far as vampire movies go, that one was possibly the worst ever made. For everyone saying that we should read the books, you should read the header for the page. “Vampire MOVIES” every movie on this list is better than Twilight from Nosferatu, to Blade. Twilight barely had any substance and any alluring factors besides a teenage girl fantasy dream diary type script. It offers nothing to fans of vampire films. Anyway I’m glad Nosferatu, was on the list as well as From Dusk till Dawn. Maybe the list can be redone to see how well newer movies fare, like 30 Days of Night.
April 13th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
kewl movies half of em i havent even heard nor seen of before but i want to see let the right one in because everyone said that it was very great and very few said it was lame so I dont know i guess i’ll see for myself.
April 16th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Hi guys, just like the most of you i am a vampire lover…..i mean……well you know what i mean. I’ve read many comments on this page and finding the best vampire movie according to this 70 list or the comments is impossible. So… I would like to ask you what ingredients would make it the ultimate vampire movie. Maybe (hopefully) some producer will read your or our opinion and decide to give it a go.
April 18th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
No really,
as was quoted earlier,
“Meyerpires are NOT VAMPIRES. They are large, carnivorous FAIRIES.”
The gay, pale, emo people in the Twilight Series (books and movie) are not Vampires. They are in fact gay, pale, emo fairies who happen to be carnivorous and sparkle in the sunlight.
Stephanie Meyer is not a good author, she’s a retard with no talent. In fact she’s illiterate. If you want a good Vampire novel go read the fucking Vampire Chronicles. Despite that they come off as gay romance novels every now and then, at least there’s some fucking blood and gore as there should be in a vampire story. These vampires EXPLODE and burn in the sunlight, they’re filled with rage and bloodlust and they’ll fucking tear you apart.
So if you’d rather see some pre-teen kissy romance between an adolescent teenage girl with a case of nausea and a gay, pale, sparkly, emo Fairy who likes steak… THEN PLEASE shut the fuck up and stop sticking your nose in the business of REAL VAMPIRES. Because Twilight’s got NOTHING to do with Vampires. It is not a Vampire story. It’s a pathetic high school story about GAY PEOPLE WHO SPARKLE.
April 19th, 2009 at 2:06 am
well,
i carnt beleave there is no “twilight”! twilight is only a new movie and haz already stolen the hearts of many teenages.(me)
the books made my cry n i am realy dissapointed that twilight is not there n while im at it u should add new moon scince its already on the way!
now i hav to fly to forks now goodbye.
p.s. also i think them should make the vampire beach 2 books into a movie
April 19th, 2009 at 2:11 am
NOW IM JUST ANGRY!
THE VAMPIRES IN THE TWILIGHT SAGE, THERE MORE OF A REALISTIC TYPE OF VAMPIRES AND THE “TWILIGHT EXTERMINATER” U SHOULD SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY READING THE BOOKS FIRST BEFORE TRYING TO PAY THEM OUT!!!!!!!!
April 19th, 2009 at 4:25 am
hi
it is good list but without the movie “twilight” it seems incomplete. pls add twilight , its really awesome.
thx
bye
April 19th, 2009 at 6:40 am
Nice list… but 30 days of Night HAS to be in top 10!!!
April 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Where the hell is Ravenous and 30 Days of Night….incomplete without them included!
April 19th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Let The Right One In should be here to…a lot of these movies..especially the first few are pretty bad…..lets replace some of those or expand the list…..Twilight sucks but could be near the bottom of a top 100.
April 21st, 2009 at 9:20 pm
ok this is my opinion….30 days of night isnt that great twilight is 100 % better its alright tho i just got done watching it yesterday cuz i havent watched in a long time and after i got done watching it it seemed sooooo boring
April 21st, 2009 at 9:27 pm
o and by the way is let the right one in swedish??i watched the trailer and it looks stupid but i’m gonna watch it and say what i think.
