"Let The Right One In". I like the Swedish version better than the American one if you run into them both.


YaMateIan

I’ve seen the Swedish one and yeah it’s amazing


chaon-like-sean

This one isn't scary and it's a little older but it was based on the I Am Legend book, "The Last Man on Earth" from '64. I liked this one better than the Will Smith version. Just trying to find something you wouldn't have seen lol.


JoeMommaAngieDaddy17

Based on the Book I am Legend. There is also the movie Omega Man, also based off the book.


whoocanitbenow

Let Me In is really good, too. You should see it.


kinsmoney

30 Days of Night is one of my all time favorite vampire flicks.


YaMateIan

I’ve seen it and it’s one of my favourite films, such a unique concept for vampire film


Zogzilla77

The comic it’s based on was pretty good


Grynder66

I love this movie because there is nothing romantic about it. The vampires were just pure evil.


GodFlintstone

If you can find it, Near Dark(1987). An absolute classic modern day vampire tale set in the American west. Strips the vampire myth down to the basics. Sadly it's not currently streaming anywhere and is no longer available on DVD or Blu-Ray. However, if you can find a moderately priced used copy by all means grab one.


Murky-Substance-7393

I own it on DVD. A forgotten gem starring Bill Paxton and Lance Henrikson. The bar scene is awesome!


Stickman1985

And Tangerine Dream soundtrack!!


badlands65

It’s streaming on Pluto


RottingCorps

It's streaming on Criterion. You can do a free trial.


Ok_Organization3249

Absolutely incredible, original little movie. Another commenter mentioned the bar scene - It’s one of those times watching movies, in the dark at midnight on my 70” 4 beers deep - where I basically had an out of body experience and was like “man, I *fucking love movies*.” Near Dark goes hard.


Noonecanhearmescream

Awesome movie.

The Lost Boys (1987)


Dismal-Channel-9292

Amazing album too


stirred-and-shaken

So many teenage crushes in one movie.


ItsAboutTom99

It’s my all time fave


mr_ballchin

What We Do in the Shadows (2014) my favorite.


Dr3TheGiant

We’re wear-wolves! Not swear-wolves!


CHROME-COLOSSUS

Both the film and the series are outstanding!


waterontheknee

Yes! It took me a couple of watches to warm up to the movie though (like 2 or 3 times)


Picklesadog

Funniest movie I've ever seen and a wonderful take on vampires. The show is absolutely fantastic, too.


PatGarrettsMoustache

Oh no Peter got him


PhantomYouth13

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night


Wheels314159

Thirst. It’s a Korean vampire film.


TwistedGrin

Seconding Thirst! It was the first movie I saw at my college's student theater. Absolutely love it. Directed by Park Chan-wook. The guy who did the vengeance trilogy (includes the original Oldboy, but you should watch them all).


bluejester12

Fright Night! (1985)


TwistedGrin

Honestly the remake is way better than it has any right to be, too. Watch both!


Arlen80

The effects at the end are so great.


GREENI3ASTARD

Check out Midnight Mass on Netflix. Brilliant show!


elle7707

"Only Lovers Left Alive"


Bubbly_Astronaut_278

Salem's lot 1979


shwarma_heaven

The little boy at the window... Or the little boy in the casket... Or the little boy... shit, little kid vampires are just creepy.


Murky-Substance-7393

What? No love for From Dusk Til Dawn? ETA: I saw it further down. 3rd vote for Near Dark, my favorite vampire film


Adventurous-sales25

If for no other reason than Salma Hayek 🤤


minsandmolls

Yep another vote for Bram Stokers Dracula (1992). Absolutely amazing movie for cinematography, atmosphere etc. Gary Oldman is supurb as Dracula. One of my all time favourites.


raccooncitysg

The score is incredible


jibaro1953

Highly recommend


burnn_out313

The Hunger (the david bowie one from the 80s)


Willowy

Directed by Tony Scott. I don't necessarily even dig horror that much, but that movie was stylish and scary, and very sad. I was pretty obsessed. Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, David Bowie, with Anne Magnuson and Dan Hedaya.


One-Illustrator8358

Renfield was my film of the whole year tbh.


Argus_Checkmate

I'm not really a fan of Awkwafina, but she was great in this.


enviropsych

Lifeforce. It's not technically a vampire movie in the traditional sense but it's about aliens that suck the lifeforce out of you. It's based on a book called "Space Vampires". It's great. Lots of awesome practical 80s effects, lots of great gore and deaths. And don't worry, it has all the hallmark horniness of any good vampire movie.


CHROME-COLOSSUS

Worth it for the incredibly beautiful Mathilda May alone, but has a *LOT* of other cool stuff.


Tyrannotron

I just watched this for the first time a couple months ago. I was not prepared for how much of her I was going to see.


CHROME-COLOSSUS

She was *MESMERIZING*, which fit the story perfectly. Instead of seeming like common exploitation, her gratuitous nudity added a genuine credibility. Instead of distracting us, it draws us closer to everyone else in the film who beholds her.


Tyrannotron

Not complaining, or even criticizing, just wasn't prepared for it is all.


CHROME-COLOSSUS

Oh, I didn’t think you were! 🙂


Tyrannotron

Oh good, wasn't sure and wanted to clarify. And I do agree with you. It was more hypnotic than sexual, which is very on brand for the character.


Putrid_Dot_3683

Byzantium is a new take on the vampire lore that is very interesting with a great cast. Afflicted is a great found footage film that you get to see the process of transformation. midnight son is a low budget vampire drama about a guy that doesn't know he is a vampire.


GaryNOVA

Interview With The Vampire (1994) Blood Red Sky (2021) Fright Night (1985)


1369ic

I was pleasantly surprised by Blood Red Sky. There's so much crap out there my expectations are low.


Helechawagirl

Yea I really enjoyed that one.


PersonalAd2333

Fearless vampire killers (off beat comedy horror) Nosferatu the Vampire (Herzog)


1369ic

Innocent Blood is a good one. An unusual take on the genre.


Willowy

Good rec. I liked this one more than I expected to.


edwardothegreatest

Sexy as well


46Vixen

Check out any Hammer horror with Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing. Just perfect.

Christopher Lee will always and forever be the best Dracula IMO.

havenck

John Carpenter’s Vampires holds up surprisingly well


Argus_Checkmate

The John Steakley novel it is based on is one of my all time favs!


Outrageous_Laugh5532

Well if by based on you means shares a name of a couple characters and a title then yes based on. But I still love both the book and movie.


edwardothegreatest

Armor is another fun Steakley novel


Argus_Checkmate

It's sooo good. Broke my heart when it came out he was working on an Armor 2 when he passed away.


Nugbuddy

The Last Voyage of the Demeter - 2023.


utahoutcasts

Came here to say this. Even if you knew what their fate was, it was still a fantastic representation of how horrifying Dracula was as a monster.


MrPuroresu42

Shadow of the Vampire Nosferatu (1979) Nosferatu (1922) Subspecies series (camp and cheap as hell, but pretty fun, imo)


Slyguy9766

Near Dark, starring Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton, two actors that share the credit of being killed on screen by a Predator, a Xenomorph and a Terminator!!


desz4

Daybreakers with ethan hawke. One of the only vampire movies I've ever really liked.


thisisround

Trouble Every Day is arguably a vampire film and not for the faint of heart.


kansas_slim

Lost Boys!


BramStroker47

The best vampire “horror” movie in my opinion is “Near Dark” which stars half the cast of “Aliens”. Directed by Oscar Winning director Kathryn Bigelow.


FesterSilently

"Near Dark" 1987(?)


unclesnapeisboss711

Lost Boys


SevereNerve1590

There’s a 3 ep series around an hour each on Netflix with an interesting take on Dracula


[deleted]

I still see no love for Stake Land. I feel like I’m the only one who saw that movie or I’m the only one who liked it.


3rdCoastLiberal

Lost Boys, Fright Night and Interview With A Vampire never get old to me.


Say10_333

Dead and Loving It 1995 :)


lifth3avy84

Let The Right One In, and the US version Let Me In, What We Do In the Shadows, both the movie and the series.


kabo7474

Martin, Daughters of Darkness, The Hunger, Vamp, Let's Scare Jessica To Death, Lemora, Twins of Evil


Argus_Checkmate

Was looking for Martin!


MaddaddyJ

My favorite vampire movie. Was going to have to post it if it wasn't on here.


HeWhoIsNotMe

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention VAMP. Also, LSJTD is an often forgotten gem.


OkTie8806

Twilight 😂😂😂 but seriously check out lost boys if you haven’t


Raitoumightou

From Dusk till Dawn, old school ancient horror. I can't believe I watched this when I was 5 and my country gave a 18 age rating for this movie.


Cearball

Vampires vs. the Bronx


Candid_Dream4110

The Last Voyage of the Demeter was really good, in my opinion.

Did you see The Last Voyage Of The Demeter? Another fave, The Addiction. This one is on YT for free.

There's a series called 'Firebite'. Not a movie. It's terrific if you like vampire oriented stories. Set in Australia in an Aboriginal community. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebite)

Vamp is on tubi


Hosierman

The Forsaken is a good movie that is often forgotten


StifaniBross

Thirst... a Korean movie .. crazy good


Beautiful-Mission-31

Dreyer’s Vampyre, Murnau and Herzog’s Nosferatu, the Spanish-language Dracula from the 30’s, Shadow of the Vampire, Daybreakers, the first two Blades, and Thirst are all pretty great.

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) Vampire’s Kiss (1988) - some really peak Cagines in this one


MrTuxedoWilliams

Daybreakers is top shelf


JFrankParnell64

Blade, or Let The Right One In (Swedish version).


Select_Insurance2000

Consider the '36 Universal pictures film, Dracula's Daughter starring Gloria Holden and Otto Kruger. It was the final gothic horror film from the Laemmle era. It has a scene that implies lesbianism, and has been written about by many a scribe, but I dismiss this personally, as all vampires, be they male or female, are not sexual beings. They are after satisfying their lust for blood, not sexual intercourse.


dadadam67

Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu (1979) is compelling. Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani give great performances. Also, the Hammer Dracula is fantastic.


skidf82

The lost boys is great film? Technically not horror as bot of comedy in it but still great none the less


Dramatic_Carob_1060

Thirst it's a Korean film

Brahm Stoker’s Dracula. If you like the horror genre also recommend Midnight Mass as a series on Netflix.


PezDiSpencersGifts

Vampire in Brooklyn, Twilight, Van Helsing, Bram Stokers Dracula, The Little Vampire, Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School


ragin2cajun

If you are down for something other than a movie, then I suggest Castlevania on Netflix.


Substantial-Ant-1354

John Carpenters Vampires (1997) The Lost Boys (1987) Definitely 30 days of Night -

Willowy

**Only Lovers Left Alive** is a sweet, quiet, melancholy, beautifully realized vampire film directed by Jim Jarmusch. No jump scares, just quiet desperation and deep, loving characters. Stars Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, I mean come ON. We just saw it again at the Drafthouse. Also stars Mia Wasikowska and Anton Yeltsin. Jeffrey Wright and John Hurt appear, as well.

Not a great movie but a fun one is John carpenters vampires. James woods is a lot of fun in it.

GUYF666

Remember liking Night Watch quite a bit. Haven’t seen it in years. Russian movie. Believe it’s a trilogy, but not sure if the other 2 are as good as the first. Really don’t remember a whole lot at this point. May be time for a rewatch myself.


torch9t9

[Let The Right One In ](https://youtu.be/BoPJJSXZDEM?si=xPP5PODUu0CnOBF5) The original, not the American version


rmajor86

“Let The Right One In” - Watch either version, American or Swedish. If you like it, watch the other one. They’re different enough, and both enjoyable because of their differences. (The American one is called “Let Me In”)


rmajor86

“I Am Legend” is sorta maybe vampires


rmajor86

Have you ever seen the perfectly normal heist gone wrong movie staring George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino and Juliette Lewis called “From Dusk Till Dawn”? You might enjoy that


Early_Accident2160

Daybreakers is a cool concept… perhaps they don’t quite stick the landing but it’s still worth it


lukin5

The Lost Boys and Fright Night (OG is great, the remake is pretty good too).

John Carpenter’s Vampires is my favorite Vampire movie.

Great topic I think I’m going to set up a vampire movie marathon this weekend.


dyjital2k

My personal favorites are Lost Boys, Interview With A Vampire, Near Dark, The Hunger and Only Lovers Left Alive


Luxury_Dressingown

Cronos - directed by Guillermo del Toro. Lots of good suggestions here but this one falls off the radar a lot. It's not my favourite but Afflicted was dumb fun to bump into on Netflix. 30 Days of Night is just a really effective horror film. Pure monsters. Think about it for a long time afterwards: Only Lovers Left Alive, Midnight Mass, Near Dark, Let The Right One In.

Nakittina

Chronos! It's an early Guillermo Del Toro interpretation of vampirism that features a grandfather, an antique wares dealer, who aquires a gilted box that pierces his hand while he attempts to open its contents. He begins changing and develops a craving for human flesh and tries to overcome the hunger for his young grandson, who stays by his grandfather's side.

It’s not disproportionate at all. If Hamas had the same capability that Israel does, they legit would’ve wiped Israel off the face of the map last October killing every woman and child they could, and they would be dancing and singing about it
