Title: Top Ten Vampire Movies
Post by: RCMerchant on February 27, 2010, 12:48:04 PM
We had a favorite Frankenstein film thead...howsabout Vampire movies? Here are some of mine....

1.DRACULA (1931) Yeah...I know it's stagey and has not aged well...but Karl Fruends photography in the Castle Dracula sequences and Lugosi as Dracula makes it number one for me!
2.NOSFERATU (1922) A classic! Max Shreck is the most vile,diseased looking vampire ever! I noticted the vampire in SALEMS LOT owes much to Graf Orlak...as well as the vampire girl in BLOOD OF DRACULA!
3.TASTE the BLOOD of DRACULA-My favorite Hammer Drac was SCARS of DRACULA....but this one got bumped!
4.VAMPYRE (1932) Creepy. Like a filmed nightmare.
5.FANGS of the LIVING DEAD (1969) aka MALENKA. I just like big breasted vampire women!  :twirl:
6.the FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS -Funny,smart,pretty girls,crazy vampires...and a very ugly hunchback!
7.NEAR DARK-Dam cool rural vampire movie. Even got the Cramps on he soundtrack!
8.HORROR of DRACULA-Lee has played Dracula on film more than anyone! (even if some of the movies were quite lame-ie-SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA and DRACULA AD 1972). For me not to have this clasic on the list would be blashphomas.(Did I spell that right?  :question:)
9.MARK OF THE VAMPIRE-Yeah,I know....the end is a cheat...but technically this is a vampire movie. Luna and Count Mora are iconic images. Luna (Carol Borland) set the standered for vampire girls-like Vampira,Lily Munster,and Elvira!
10.MARTIN-Sick George Romero vampire film. Scary and intelligent

Dont ya think? It's Nosferatu's daughter!
(from BLOOD OF DRACULA)

In no particular order, and hardly well considered or scholarly, here's some that came to mind:
1) THE NIGHT STALKER (1972 made-for-TV)
2) DRACULA (1931)
3) DRACULA (1973 with JACK PALANCE made-for-TV)
4) DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936)
5) CASTLE OF BLOOD (1964 DANZA MACABRA)
6) ATOM AGE VAMPIRE (1960 L'EREDE DI SATANA SEDDOK)
7) HORROR OF DRACULA (1958)
8) VAMPYR (1932)
9) GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE (1974 ~ okay it's dumb, but I like it!)
10) COUNT DRACULA (1977 with LOUIS JOURDAN made-for-TV)

Still adding pix... CASTLE OF BLOOD could be argued as not exactly a vampire movie, but it is.

I almost added BLACK SUNDAY...as Barb's vampire sidekick is essential to the film...but it seemed more like a witchcraft or ghost movie to me.

You have to add FRIGHTNIGHT to that list -  and THE LOST BOYS!!


Title: Re: Top Ten Vampire Movies
Post by: JaseSF on February 27, 2010, 07:56:47 PM
Hmm there's so many of these....my faves would probably include (not really in order of preference here):

1) DRACULA - 1931 Spanish Version. In many ways, it's superior to its American counterpart..in terms of style, direction and atmosphere at least.
2) DRACULA - 1931 Lugosi, Frye, Van Sloan - still chilling after all these years in its own way. Great acting and atmosphere helps make up for it being a little slow-moving.
3) NOSFERATU, A SYMPHONY OF HORROR - 1922 Max Shreck film is still likely the most scary of 'em all.
4) SALEM'S LOT (1979) TV Mini - the kid vampires were the element to really chill me to the bone here but there's also a Shreck-like vampire. The first movie to truly terrify me as a kid.
5) HORROR OF DRACULA (1958) - Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in this 50s update of the classic Dracula story gives him arguably even more fangs and bite.
6) THE BRIDES OF DRACULA (1960) I enjoyed this follow-up even if it didn't actually feature Count Dracula but his disciple Baron Meinster (David Peel). Still has Cushing as Van Helsing.
7) KISS OF THE VAMPIRE (1963) - it's quite a little different take on the standard vampire tale. Another non-Dracula vampire film from Hammer.
8) THE NIGHT STALKER (1972) - Carl Kolchak tries to prove the existence of a modern-day vampire but meets roadblock after roadblock along the way until finally he decides to take action himself.
9) HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS (1970) - Vampire Barnabas Collins searches for a cure so he can be married.
10) VAMPYR (1932) - moody, surreal vampire movie. The scenes from inside the casket are very chilling.

I don't really have a favorite Dracula movie, but my favorite Dracula was Christopher Lee.   I love the old Hammer films  :smile:

I also liked Fright Night, The Lost Boys, and the mini series Salem's Lot.

Now Dark Shadows ... as I kid I used to come home from school every afternoon and faithfully watch the show.  :teddyr:

Frank Langella as Dracula ... ok.  But Sir Laurence Olivier was a hoot as Van Helsing!

I liked the story line for Gary Oldman's take on Dracula, but I couldn't stand his "accent".

I like the Hammer films too!

I scanned some cool pics from old Famous Monster mags from the 60's and 70's-(I'm 47 myself-I collect this junk)-here's one you may enjoy-from thee back cover of FM 106-

Pretty close to a top 10 choice (and on some days I might well include it) for me personally was William Marshall's surprisingly moving performance as Blacula!

Yeh, your list is "horrible".   :wink:  

5) CASTLE OF BLOOD (1964 DANZA MACABRA)
I don't remember any vampires in Castle of Blood, but I love that movie.  Am I forgetting something?
Watch it again, there is throat biting and blood drinking, but as I wrote in my second posting in this thread, it's not apparent except when Dr. Carmus is killed by the muscleman (who bites his throat after killing him).  But remember, vampirism is primarily about taking life from the living in order to live, undead, still.  Taking the BLOOD of the living is the premise of the film, and the "ghosts" state it to "Alan" at the end.  "Your blood means our life..." 


Title: Re: Top Ten Vampire Movies
Post by: BoyScoutKevin on March 05, 2010, 04:42:58 PM
Not 10 vampire movies, but 10 decades of of vampire movies.

My favorite vampire-like movies from each decade.

20s "Nosferatu"
30s "Dracula's Daughter" or the Spanish "Dracula"
40s "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"
50s "Horror of Dracula"
60s "Black Sunday" or "The Vampire Killers"
70s "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter" or "Vampire Circus"
80s "Fright Night" or "Lair of the White Worm"
90s "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
00s "Shadow of the Vampire"
Which brings us full circle back to "Nosferatu"

As for . . .
10s ?

 :hot: I miss: "Planet of the Vampires", i.e. "Terrore nello spazio" by Mario Bava! No one mentioned it and I think it's one of the most iteressting Vampyreflicks.

Also not to be left unmetioned: "Lifeforce" by Tobe Hooper. . . . Yes, I know, most folks don't like it but I do. It has a quite clever plot, some good characters (Col. Colin Caine) and Mathilda May as god and some plastic surgeons have made her.

Oh yes and an other "exotic" "Les lèvres rouges"/"Blood on the Lips" ba Harry Kuemel. The movie Jean Rollin allways wanted to make but was not good enough. Harry Kuemel was. In my eyes the best erotic bloodsucker movie.

Not a huge fan of vampire movies in general.  But there's a few I like to watch on occasion:
Nosferatu- Beautiful film.
Dracula (1931)- Doesn't age as well, but still one I pop in occasionally.
Martin- '70s film by George A. Romero
Fright Night- Classic movie. 
The Lost Boys- Some may disagree but I grew up watching it.
Shadow of The Vampire- an imaginitive version of the making of Nosferatue, where the lead actor is a real vampire.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It- Not Mel Brooks best, but a fun take on it.
Monster Squad- Count Dracula needs to find an amulet in order to shift the balance of power to the dark side.  So he enlists the help of Wolfman, The Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon to do so.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It- Not Mel Brooks best, but a fun take on it.


I'm glad to see this one get a little love. People seem to like to give it crap because it wasn't as good as Young Frankenstein (tough act to follow), but I really like it. And the "Lucy, I'm British." "So are these!" exchange made me a fan of Lysette Anthony for life.  :thumbup:



Anyway, here's my list:...


In no particular order:

Nosferatu (the original)
Martin
Vampire Circus
From Dusk Till Dawn
Vampyr
The Last Man On Earth
Fright Night
Cronos
Vampyros Lesbos
Near Dark

Okay this is gonna be hard for me, but ill do it. As usual for me, in not particular order. (After all I really don't have a favorite anything. I just enjoy a lot of stuff)

1. Nosferatu
2. Dracula (Spanish version)
3. Dracula 1931
4. Horror of Dracula
5. Dracula Prince of Darkness
6. Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
7. The Last Man on Earth

9.
10.

Can't think of those at the moment, but ill fill them in eventually. I promise!

Here's the irony: I like it a bit more than Young Frankenstein.  Maybe cause of my age and I saw Dead and Loving It first, I don't know.  Then again, I'm partial to Leslie Nielsen films so...


Title: Re: Top Ten Vampire Movies
Post by: Skull on June 28, 2011, 11:19:15 AM
I love DRACULA (1931) and NOSFERATU (1922) but I feel they are such a classic (for the good/bad [due to limits]) that it's not worth mention on my list...

1... Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Ji2hrJ0S0

I like this story because it's not your typical vampire film, this is more or less a warlock that turned into a vampire to become immortal.

2... Waxwork (1988)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXWc9Rak1qY

True Waxwork's isnt a vampire movie, but I really love this scene; especially when we find the source of Steak tar-tar.

3... Martin (1977)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eEBgOW_Ycw

A not so typical vampire story that seems slightly realistic since the character in question doesnt display any real vampire powers and it's assumed that he might be insane... So the story could be a realistic tale of such serial kills like: Rod Ferrell, Richard Chase and Nico Claux. I also like it because it seemed to be the first of it's kind.

4... Queen of Blood (1966)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGkLMDaEnNk

I'm really fond of Queen of Blood because she is simply a predator. Though she is an alien and not undead, her chararistics is more towards undeadish; especially since she only communicates with her eyes.

5... Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXMPbskXs6U

Sorry, the video is poor. I just recently seen the film 3 weeks ago and really love it. The movie was assumed lost for sometime so it's likely that not many has heard or seen the movie. Good news it's currently on Netflix instant play!

6... Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (1974)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsBFWcL6xIE

Lots of fun... not your typical vampire film; I guess I find it quite joyful since it takes place during those "witch hunting movies" and it feels like The Three Musketeers vs Dracula (maybe a good idea for a film?)...

7... The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAXVDH_1q_M

I often has mixed feelings with this movie. Partly because the mixed feelings I have with the director (tragic murder of Sharon Tate) and (his rape in the 1970's). Although the other part is the first 30 min. The comedy gets too redundant and boring; if Roman Polanski could of shorten the cabin/inn scene by a few minutes it could of been a bigger classic, I would list it as number 1. The joy-joy part of the movie is the vampire in the castle.

8... Fright Night (1985)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MAL5VJVezQ

(http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/fright_night_movie_still.jpg)

I really wish there were more vampire movies like this ^^^

9... Blood and Roses (1960)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-9Urv1QOLQ

I guess I like gothic vampire movies... :)

10... Salem's Lot (1979)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC5HZzjjI9Y&feature=related

It's hard to believe this is a TV Miniseries... Ditto's to Tobe Hooper and Stephen King... :)

Very surprised no one has said "Let the Right One In" - I still have not seen the American remake, even though I've heard it's good, but the Swedish one is one of the best movies I've ever seen, not just one of the best Vampire movies.  I appreciate its matter-of-fact style.

"The Last Man on Earth" was the first movie to portray vampires almost like zombies. That being said I must bring up "30 Days of Night" I know a lot of people don't like it, but quite frankly I think it's under-rated. Also under-rated is "Salem's Lot" it is one of the best Vampire movies to this day. I'm going to get a lot of crap for this, but I think "Fright Night" is highly over-rated. It's a good movie, I just don't understand why people love it so much and why it's been ripped off so many times by other movies.
