We all want more vampire films, right? Even more importantly, we want more good vampire films. Towards that end we can all draw up lists of writers and directors who we think would make superior motion pictures about the undead. Likewise different ideas of such films no doubt bubble to the surface of many a …
I don’t know why it is exactly, but when I think of vampires drinking blood, I think of it as natural, sexy, mysterious; whatever. But when I think of people consuming blood, all I can think of is the effect air has on large puddles of blood: it turns into dark red jelly. Naturally, this …
If you haven’t seen Let Me In yet, then SPOILER ALERT! The funny thing about this film, is that it was probably much anticipated by the people who had never heard of ‘Let the Right One In’, but for the people who had seen the movie, it was practically feared, –there was an air of …
There are new stills available for the movie VAMPIRE, by Japanese director Iwai Shunji. This is his first English film, and he’s probably pretty excited to be reaching all of us Westerners for the first time. I know I’m excited to be seeing it, so we should all be. Plus, we used to have just …
Others have written about the vampires described by J.K.Rowling within her wonderful world of Harry Potter, of Quidditch and Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.

No other actor has played the part of Count Dracula in so many films. As a consequence, none other has gazed into so many initially hesitant sets of eyes belonging to beautiful women–Caroline Munro, Barbara Hershey, Linda Hayden, Veronica Carlson to name just a few. So many plunging necklines! So many throats to ravish! Yet–curiously–so …
It is an iconic movement, an action in vampire films re-created many times. The motion pictures “Fright Night” and “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” both had their versions. For many, it remains one of the most memorable events in the first great film of one genre–as well as being a landmark in at least two others. Graf …
Interview with the Vampire is a book by Anne Rice, which I’m sure all you vampire lovers know all too well. It was released on film in 1994, and has become one of the most well known vampire films of today. And it is a pretty spectacular film. It has the theme of the struggle …
For some reason, I just never got around to alerting the world about this film, –you can’t even find it on Netflix! And it’s not like it’s an ancient vampire movie (or worse, something made in the 70s), it was released in 1995. The film is, in some ways, almost un-findable, but still a cult …
What’s better than a cool new vampire flick? One that’s in 3D of course! So grab your tinted glasses and go get your tickets, The Town That Dreaded Sundown is coming to a theater near you! But you may want to wait just a bit before you get ready to stand in line for this …
If you’re like me, and thought that The Vampire’s Assistant looked kind of cool when it first came out, but also kind of corny, then you’ll be pleased to know that the movie was released on DVD and Blu-Ray this week. While the movie looked like it had its funny bits, and I love the …
Yes, yes, I know. Eclipse is coming out this summer and really that’s the only vampire movie we should be on the lookout for, right? Well, I too am very excited about Eclipse but after reading about another vamp film that’s coming out, I think even the Cullens may have come up against something that’s …
