Are You Willing to Fund a “Shadow of the Vampire: Nosferatu” Remake?
There’s a Nosferatu remake planned. Or, there will be if you’re prepared to fund David Fisher’s Kickstarter project, “Nosferatu — The Feature Film Remix.” Okay so, I get the main feeling of this article, and that’s probably, –“don’t touch the treasure that is Max Schreck’s Nosferatu, it’s brilliant!” But hear me out: “Revisioning” this film…
New Vampire Movie: What We Do In The Shadows
“A mockumentary about vampires living in New Zealand, written, directed and starring Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi? Yes please!” The author describes the film throughout as being completely hilarious, and honestly… I’m getting excited about seeing it now.

The World’s First Female Iranian Vampire in “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night”
“A vampire is delicious,” said writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour, whose debut feature, “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” introduces the first Iranian female vampire.

Most Disappointing Vampire Flicks
Most folks agree the first vampire movie was almost certainly F.W.Murnau’s Nosferatu in 1922 (an earlier, extremely loose adaptation of Dracula is now lost). Over nine decades of the undead on film, with more than a few genuine classics along the way. But let us turn to something other than the greats. Not to the…
Tropes That Need to Go Away
One problem any popular genre develops tends to be tropes that pervade too much of it all. In and of themselves, maybe they work. Often they work quite well. They can, anyway. But when we see the same thing over and over and over again, we enter into the realm of the cliche. So here’s…
Vampire Might Have Beens
Many a fan of the undead may well agree with Anne Rice that we live “in the golden age of vampire fiction.” But don’t we all forever wish more classic vampire films had been made? And as long as we’re wishing, how about some thinking about which stars of yesteryear might have been perfectly cast…
