Top 10 Vampire Movies
Published on April 28, 2008 - 142 Comments
I’m a big fan of horror movies, and especially of a good vampire movie. While there are tons of cheap crap vampire movies out there, there are is also a wide array of great vampire movies that, best of all, vary greatly from one film to another. The trouble with making a top ten list for vampire movies is that some people like vampire comedies, others like the strange surreal vampire films, while others want blood and guts and the scariest movie they can find.
So for this list, my top ten vampire movie list is focusing on ten great, diverse vampire movies. This list is the top ten for variety among vampire movies. This list will show you the wide array of types of vampire movies, put in no particular order (since taste and preference and the differences between these movies makes it impossible to compare them on the same lines).
John Carpenter’s Vampires is one of the better recent vampire movies that actually takes the effort to be a vampire movie, and not an action film disguised as a vampire movie. James Woods plays the role of the main protagonist, a vampire hunter who is obsessed with wiping out vampires with his team after he witnessed his parents murdered by vampires when he as a child.
He discovers that a group of vampires are searching for a powerful doom for mankind. The Vatican then secretly enlists a team of vampire-hunters, led by Jack Crow, to hunt down and destroy the vampires before they find a crucifix that would give them the power to walk in the day.
After destroying a nest of vampires, Valek, the vampire master, comes after Jack and his team, leading to a fast paced action based movie that still focuses mostly on vampires against the human vampire hunter. A great action paced film that is mostly action based, but definitely has its moments of out right terror.
This is a favorite among many vampire movie fans, and will almost always pop up on a top ten list of vampire films. This Joel Schumacher film is also pop culture famous because it featured the two Coreys at the height of their teenage heart throb popularity in the late eighties.
Don’t let this scare you away, this is good for a vampire movie, and it is a very traditional story in a modern setting, mixing the two well without bastardizing either. A single mother and her two sons move to a small coastal California town. There are some mysterious deaths, as well as a pesky motorcycle gang. The younger brother makes friends with imaginative boys who claim to be vampire hunters. The older brother falls for a beautiful girl and then begins acting stranger and stranger while exhibiting all the classic signs of vampirism.
Wanting to save his brother, the younger one joins his friends the vampire hunters to search for the head vampire and to destroy it in order to return his brother to normal. An excellent modern vampire tale that is a delight to vampire movie fans.
Interview with a Vampire is based on the best selling novel by Anne Rice. This novel, and the movie that follows it rather closely. This is what you would consider the “high end” or “high art” type of vampire movie. Literary, and based on story and theme rather than general genre considerations.
Interview with a Vampire is about a plantation owner named Louis who lost his brother and his will to live, but a vampire named Lestat likes the man and offers him the chance to become a vampire. Louis accepts, but finds that he hates being a vampire and he refuses to take human life. The two of them end up turning a little girl into a vampire, and she becomes the reason for Louis to continue to live, as the two live together as family through the centuries that follow the 1700s.
The interview comes as a young journalist finds a man who tells him he is a vampire who is over 200 years old, and he tells his story of life as a vampire. The movie is like the novel, following the philosophy and reflections of this vampire who refuses to take human life. This is a very different, change of pace vampire film that will find its fans, and was critically acclaimed for good reason.
The 1958 version of the film Dracula was ground breaking in many ways, and is the first of eight movies in the “Hammer” series. Christopher Lee plays Dracula in nearly all of these films, and the “Hammer Series” of Dracula films remain classics among vampire fans. In this first film, the protagonist, Jonathan Harker, attacks Dracula at his castle (apparently somewhere in Germany). He fails, and Dracula travels to a nearby city, where he preys on the family of Harker’s fiancée. The only one who may be able to protect them is Dr. Van Helsing, Harker’s friend and fellow vampire hunter.
This movie was directed by Terence Fisher, and it is a British film that was released n the United States as “Horror of Dracula.” While fairly tame by today’s standard, this film was ground breaking for its combination of romance/sexuality, and what was an unprecedented amount of gore.
This film reintroduced Dracula to a modern Hollywood audience, and is one of the first vampire films to have a huge Hollywood budget. With an amazing cast of actors and a great director (Francis Ford Coppola), this film won a large number of awards, especially for technical achievements. This is a visually stunning movie, and even Keanu Reeves’ iffy acting can’t bring down the overall film.
This version of Dracula is closely based (for a Hollywood film) 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. In Britain, Dracula begins a reign of seduction and terror, draining the life from Mina’s closest friend, Lucy Westenra. Lucy’s friends gather together to try to drive Dracula away, and a final confrontation is inevitable.
This was the ninth highest grossing film worldwide in 1992, making over $215 million dollars, and it was not just a U.S. success, but worldwide. This is one of the best vampire movies ever made,
Robert Rodriguez directs this vampire movie, which was co-written by Quentin Tarantino. This is celebrating one of the best “pulp” vampire movies, complete with sexy half naked women vampires, a modern situation, a vampire “nest” and a mass feeding, with the innocent heroine who you know will somehow make it through, but only after kicking vampire ass!
Seth Gecko and his brother Richard are in hiding after a bloody bank robbery in Texas. They escape across the border into Mexico and will be home-free the next morning, when they pay off the local kingpin. They just have to survive ‘from dusk till dawn’ at the rendezvous point, which turns out to be a strip joint that, unbeknownst to them, is also an active vampire nest.
The Gecko brothers are fugitives, and are on the run after a very interesting bank robbery. They kidnap the Fuller family, and drive to a Mexican bar to meet with other on-the-run criminals. The two fugitive brothers at gunpoint get an ex-minister and his two children to take them across the border into Mexico. They drive to a Mexican biker bar to meet with the other crooks, but the vampires go nuts, and the survivors must fight their way out to morning. This is the epitome of a pulp vampire film.
Blade is the first transition of a comic/graphic novel into an action based series. This is as much an action film as a vampire film, and shows where the next evolution of the modern vampire film may be going, as the later film Underworld proves that the trend is likely to continue.
The movie begins with a pregnant woman being admitted to a hospital, bleeding from the neck. Paramedics think she was attacked by some type of animal. Doctors perform an emergency C-Section, and her baby (a boy) is born alive just as she dies. This is the birth of Blade, played by Wesley Snipes, who is half vampire and half human, so he can walk during the day, and hunts vampires.
Blade works with his mentor, Whistler, to hunt vampires. With the help of a young woman, bitten, who Blade saves from a vampire attack, Blade is forced to fight a vampire Deacon Frost, who is attempting to unlock an ancient ceremony in order to turn from a vampire into La Magra, the Blood God. Blade fights La Magra, and the battle takes place to see whether the day walking vampire can defeat the blood god or not. This is a great action flick, and there are plenty of very good vampire scenes throughout the film.
This movie embraces the idea of the Vampire-Werewolf rivalry, and in this film this rivalry is an all out war, with the werewolves finding new weapons to attack the vampires, and the vampires realizing they need to catch up. This war is brought into the modern day, and this is once again a comic book based movie that is as much action movie as it is a vampire and werewolf movie.
The vampire Selene, who is also one of the top werewolf (called Lycans in the film) hunters, finds out about a terrible secret hidden from most of the vampires by the elders, and after finding a legend about a human who can somehow be both werewolf and vampire, making it a nearly unstoppable power, she must decide where her loyalties really lie and what this means for the war and her people.
This film has a very modern dark and gothic feel to it, with every single scene taking place at night. This is a great action flick that has some really good werewolf to vampire combat taking place. This is a very quick moving film that will find fans even among viewers who generally don’t like vampire films.
This movie is another spoof from the mind of Mel Brooks. This time he’s out to poke fun at the Dracula myth and vampire films in general. Leslie Nielsen, master actor of spoof films, is in this one as Dracula, with Mel Brooks playing his greatest nemesis, the famous Dr. Van Helsing. This film has the usual Mel Brooks spoof, with plenty of singing and dancing while poking fun at vampire movies.
Mel Brooks fans tend to like this film, while vampire movie purists don’t, but as far as having a list that shows the wide variety of vampire films out there, the list wouldn’t be complete without this one, and a laugh is a good way to end a terrifying marathon.
This is the grandfather of all vampire movies, a movie that never should have been made. This film is a black and white silent picture that stars Max Schrek as the creepy Count Orlock. This film was an expressionist film that remains extremely popular today, but for a weird reason: half the people who still watch this film find Nosferatu extremely creepy and scary, while the other half find it campy and hilarious.
This is one of the earliest vampire films, and after it’s release, Bram Stoker’s widow sued the director, saying this was a blatant rip off of her late husband’s novel: Dracula. The court found in her favor, and every negative of this film was supposed to have been destroyed, but pirate copies kept cropping up all over the place. Once the copyright to Dracula wore off (copyrights last 70 years after the author’s death), the movie was re-released in DVD format and is now available on DVD. Whether this movie hits you as very creepy or hilarious, it’s worth seeing.

hi jamie, as a suggestion, how about arranging lists that are in no particular order so that they count up instead of counting down? i know it’s a bit of a nitpick, but i think it would help!
great list by the way.
2. money penny - April 28th, 2008 at 2:15 am
great list!
3. Ruairi - April 28th, 2008 at 2:15 am
is that..jack bauer in The Lost Boys? haha!
4. jo - April 28th, 2008 at 2:23 am
Hi there,
little misspelling in the last one. “Grauens” not “Gravens”.
Great list but I hate Underworld. It was soooo boring (too me, of course).
cu
5. romerozombie - April 28th, 2008 at 2:27 am
Underworld? At 3?! The script for that movie goes something like this…
Vampires x Gothic set design + HAWT female lead = $$$$$$
Plot? We don’t need no plot.
6. Jeremy Foster - April 28th, 2008 at 2:27 am
Please correct: “Symphonie des Grauens”, not “…Gravens”
and:
What about Roman Polanksi’s “Dance of the Vampires”?

Jeremy
7. jasontimmer - April 28th, 2008 at 2:31 am
jfrater- you put “from dusk ’till dawn” ahead of “dracula”? and “blade” and “Underworld” in front of those? Dude, you seriously have your priorities screwed up.
8. Druzzer - April 28th, 2008 at 2:41 am
I know it’s newer, but I thought 30 Days of Night should have made the list
9. chillipacker - April 28th, 2008 at 2:42 am
what about werner herzog’s Nosferatu?
10. romerozombie - April 28th, 2008 at 2:50 am
30 Days Of Night was ace, and had a great concept. There was really an overwhelming feeling of “They’re not gonna survive this” to it, too.
11. carpe_noctem - April 28th, 2008 at 2:51 am
jasontimmer: it’s not in order apparently… I think cowboy’s idea could be a good one, label them from one to ten if you’re showing no particular order
12. leesh - April 28th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Queen of the Damned?!?!
13. Shadow - April 28th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Great list! I’m not going to nitpick, though you know I want to so badly because some of my personal favorites are not up here, and some I absolutely hate were included, but… oh well. Great list anyway!
14. Lizzie - April 28th, 2008 at 3:47 am
I surprise myself, I’ve seen five out of these ten. I think I’ve lost my taste for horror though, I haven’t seen anything more recent than Blade.
It must have taken some effort to narrow down the field to just ten out of the countless to choose from. Thanks Shane, no nitpicks from me.
15. Tenebrae - April 28th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Queen of the Damned was atrocious. It wasn’t even close to the book and only capitalized on the popularity of a pop star. The most important parts of the novel were completely omitted or totally glossed over. They didn’t even make Akasha “look” right.
Even if you put all that aside and just look at the movie, on its own, forgetting it had anything to do with Anne Rice’s vampire series. The acting was bad, the script was horrendous. It was a bad movie, all around.
It was a horrendous book > film effort..
16. bwmyers18 - April 28th, 2008 at 3:56 am
In case you guys weren’t aware jfrater is off for 5 days and this is NOT his list … comments to him are misdirected. Look at the end - Shane Dayton made this list.
17. dangorironhide - April 28th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Great list! I love (big time) ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, ‘Blade’ and ‘Underworld’.
To all the people complaining, this list is ‘put in no particular order’, so don’t complain if one seems ‘higher’ than another one.
Seriously, don’t.
18. the dread pirate bob - April 28th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Uh……..wow where to start, Blade, Underworld and Interview with a Vampire are all garbage and Dracula Dead and Loving it is about as funny as a brain hemmorhage. Where’s Near Dark, Kinski’s Nosferatu, the 1931 Dracula, Shadow of the Vampire and Fright Night, all are better than the ones listed above and some of the others.
If you want weird kitchy cool where’s the Hammer meets Shaw Brothers “classic” Dracula vs the Seven Brothers at least, unlike the Blade movies, its intentionally stupid.
19. Mom424 - April 28th, 2008 at 4:53 am
Good job Shane!
I know you’ll take some slack for including perceived
stinkers. I actually like Blade, but then again I have an almost super-human power to suspend disbelief. I thought the humor was intentional in Blade unlike Dracula with Keanu Reeves. I couldn’t get past his posing.
Lost Boys should be a classic if it isn’t considered one already, Jack before he was Jack. Great Movie.
Underworld wasn’t my fave, but I understand the appeal, my kids liked it. The atmosphere was good.
From Dusk ’til Dawn is one of my favorites, we watched it for about the 10,000th time this week-end.
‘What are you Jacob? A failed preacher? Or a mean motherfuckin’ servant of God?’
‘Well thats a matter of opinion, and I don’t give a fuck about yours’
Classic Tarantino - my fave.
20. MalchirStarr - April 28th, 2008 at 5:10 am
There is one great movie I was hoping to see here, and that is The Hunger. It starred David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and Catherine Deneuve. With those 3 actors, how could it be bad?
21. bucslim - April 28th, 2008 at 5:33 am
I don’t particularly care for this list. You got one Hammar film and From Dusk till Dawn, ok. But Dead and Loving it? Lost Boys and Coppola’s Dracula should be higher, in my opinion. Fright Night was pretty cool I thought, and Polanski’s Fearless Vampire Hunters should also be here.
I loved those Hammar movies - ok, they’re cheesy and camp, but Christopher Lee is awesome.
My question is, where’s Bela Lugosi?
22. Timadekim - April 28th, 2008 at 5:37 am
Louis lost his wife and child in Interview with the Vampire, not his brother. I loved many of the films on this list, but probably would have chosen “Love at First Bite” over the completely stupid “Dead and Loving It” for a comedic entry.
23. SocialButterfly - April 28th, 2008 at 5:44 am
I thought this was a great list! Very well done Shane. He could have just as easily put A Vampire in Brooklyn or some other piece of crap so I think perhaps people need to realize the work that went into this list.
There are alot of movies out there that aren’t great Vampire films… so bravo on finding a list that showcases all of the different types.
I love Vampire films and even I learned something, so well done. Just because a film has Vampires in it doesn’t mean that it deserves a spot on this list…
24. Pete Foul - April 28th, 2008 at 5:48 am
Don’t forget, “Shadow of the Vampire”.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0189998/
My fav..
25. Cathysferret - April 28th, 2008 at 5:49 am
Love at first bite!! Hilarious and was Jim Carrey’s first movie!
26. Phillies - April 28th, 2008 at 6:03 am
I am so, so, SO very glad this list is in no particular order (as stated in the introduction). Otherwise, I would have to VEHEMENTLY protest Dead and Loving It at number 2.
But I don’t have to. Great list!
27. Kreachure - April 28th, 2008 at 6:32 am
Nice list! I like them wacky vampires.
But seriously, where’s Dracula with Bela Lugosi? That movie was so popular and quintessential, that Lugosi got typecast as ‘Draculesque’ basically for the rest of his life. I’m sure if it weren’t for that movie, there wouldn’t be vampire movies at all to make this list.
28. bird - April 28th, 2008 at 6:42 am
What about “The Shadow of the Vampire” Williem DeFoe’s best!
29. Elsa - April 28th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Wow, I just realised I was a fan of Vampire films after realising I have seen every movie on this list and all that have been mentioned in the comments. From Dusk til Dawn rocked, and I’m not a rabid Tarantino fan. And as a child in the 60’s, Christopher Lee was one scary motherfluffer.
Who was the other actor who did tons of Dracula Movies…..In my mind I keep seeing Basil Rathbone, but I’m not sure that’s him
Basil Rathbone….is that a cool stage name or what??
30. DanOhh - April 28th, 2008 at 6:56 am
I was dissapointed the “Near Dark” didn’t make the list. Get rid of “Dead and Loving it” and add “Near Dark”.
31. stevil - April 28th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Shane is you have not seen “Near Dark” you are missing out. Lance Hendrickson and Bill Paxton as vamps. Need I say more.
32. SaturnION - April 28th, 2008 at 7:07 am
I was hoping to see 30 Days of Night; excellent vampire movie. Definitely my favorite.
Other than that, it’s a good list.
33. stevil - April 28th, 2008 at 7:08 am
And let me start a 10 worst vampire list movie for you.
1: Buffy the vampire slayer.
34. Moe Shinola - April 28th, 2008 at 7:13 am
I completely agree with the others here: “Near Dark” is the BOMB vampire movie. it’s got the whole vamp-movie-not-action-movie thing you like best. The massacre in the bar was just…vampirish.
35. JLo - April 28th, 2008 at 7:18 am
I have to say, as a vampire film lover, this list was kind of dissapointing. I am not usually one to complain/comment or nitpick, but here are a few that I think any self-respecting vampire film lover would have on their top ten list:
Near Dark - white trash vampires living in a van down by the arroyo
Fright Night - a Rear-Windowesque vampire story with the awesome, Roddy McDowell
And while I realize it has mocked beyond the pale, no Tod Browning’s Dracula with Bela Lugosi?
Or, Black Sunday by Mario Brava?
And I would add Shadow of a Vampire to the list before Dead and Loving it.
I’ll be the first to admit, Underworld was fun, but it doesn’t hold a candle to some of the other vampire movies out there.
Like I said, I don’t like to nitpick, but I feel I should mention these movies for other vampire movie lovers, because I feel this list is incomplete. What can I say, my expectations for lists are higher due to Listverse.
36. perun99 - April 28th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Wow I can’t believe you left off Bela Lugosi. Watch that movie again. It pretty much paved the way for all the rest of these (except Nosferatu). Considering some of the other entries (Dracula dead and loving it???), this is a gross omission.
37. DiscHuker - April 28th, 2008 at 7:27 am
would “i am legend” fit into this genre? i’m not really sure what those bad guys were.
38. Phoenix - April 28th, 2008 at 7:33 am
I agree about Fright Night and Near Dark - Fright Night 2 isn’t that bad either…
39. Borka - April 28th, 2008 at 7:37 am
Bad Thing(s) bout the list.
Interview with a Vampire instead UnderWorld(IMO u can remove it from the list to).
Good Thing(s) bout the list.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It - Excellent add for the list !
40. SlickWilly - April 28th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Disc: I don’t know if you could qualify the monsters in the movie as vampires…or zombies…or anything really. They seemed to have aspects of both. They were a lot like intelligent zombies that crave blood…but since zombies already eat brains, it’s kind of a toss-up. Cool movie though. The book was better (of course) and the monsters were much closer to the traditional type of vampire in the novel.
I actually *loved* Interview with a Vampire. Great performances by Cruise (Surprisingly. I hate that guy.) Pitt and Dunst. Very dark and erotic in the way only Anne Rice can craft. (Interestingly, she also wrote a series of books about a twisted, S&M bondage take on the classic Cinderalla story. I think Rice has a few fetishes we probably don’t (want to) know about.)
Dead & Loving it makes me crack up everytime, but I’ll admit that most times I’ve seen it I’ve been intoxicated to some great degree. I happen to worship Mel Brooks though.
Dusk till Dawn was schlock, but fun schlock, just like Underworld. All I can say about D-till-D is that Rodriguez should have known better than to cast QT in a leading role. That guy couldn’t act himself out of a paperbag (whatever the hell that means).
I hated Blade, but I love Nosferatu. I’m one of the people that find it incredibly surreal and frightening. I think part of that is how ahead of it’s time it was, and the creepy makeup on the vampire. “Shadow of the Vampire” was a intriguing and unique movie that should have been included as an honorable mention. Willam Dafoe is amazing in that movie (though probably the only shining light in a movie I felt was so heavy-handed it fell in on itself).
GREAT list, Shane!! Keep up the good work!
41. eh - April 28th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I hope this doesn’t include animated films, because there’s a ton of anime vampire movies/series that totally pwn all of these
42. Jesse - April 28th, 2008 at 8:33 am
No Near Dark? or The Hunger? or the original Bela Lugosi Dracula? someone needs to watch some more vampire movies before they make a top 10 list.
43. Mike929 - April 28th, 2008 at 8:34 am
You forgot a truly hilarious movie in Blacula. A black exploitation film, but really a quite excellent movie with some memorable scenes.
44. Andre D - April 28th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Y’all missed out a great Vampire Movie:The Fearless Vampire Killers a.k.a.: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck
Serious enough to be a great vampire movie, funny enough to be a great comedy. Everyone ought to check it out
45. Andre D. - April 28th, 2008 at 8:46 am
The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck
Its a brilliant film. Serious enough to be a great vampire movie. Funny enough to be a great Comedy… I strongly suggest this movie who can track down a copy. Released in 1967, starring Roman Polanski.
46. Cheryl - April 28th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Great list! I really enjoyed reading it and the comments as well. I agree with commenters who said Shadow of the Vampire and Bela Lugosi’s Dracula should have made the list. Keep up the good work Shane!
47. skipps - April 28th, 2008 at 9:08 am
I loved Interview with a Vampire too! Kirsten Dunst was brilliant in it. I particularly love the scene where she tried to cut her hair, but it immediately grew right back. Creepy!
48. HulkSmashNow - April 28th, 2008 at 9:34 am
How can you forget or at least not mention 1985’s “Fright Night,” inarguably the greatest vampire ever made in my opinion? “Fright Night” followed the cinematic rules of vampirism to a “T” (or is that “V?”), boasted incredible special effects, and a really great and evil vampire in Chris Sarandon’s Jerry Dandrige. Even the flawed, but still enjoyable “Fright Night Part II” is better than some of these choices!
Also worth mentioning is 1987’s cult classic “The Monster Squad,” which features some great vampire action and a classic, but creepy as hell Dracula played by Duncan Reghr (sp?).
49. Wanderer - April 28th, 2008 at 9:45 am
I am Legend the novel is correct in saying its a vampire novel, because it delves deep into the process of what makes them a vampire, and it explores many of the myths (why they dislike crosses, why stakes kill them, can’t cross running wanter, etc)
However the garbage that was I am legend as a movie, was a hollywood version, (which generally tends to ruin the greatness of a story) was monsters acting sort of vampiritic. They didnt seem to drink blood as much as eat people, and they didnt like sunlight, but instead of resting, they re-mained active during the day in lightless buildings.
Though this list is a pretty good list. I will have to check out the 2 i’ve not yet seen, and a couple of the honoroable mentions. I’ve not seen shadow of a vampire or near dark yet
50. YogiBarrister - April 28th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I love it how Shane is trying to provoke us by not including Bela Lugosi’s 1931 version, but I’m not biting. His choice for #2 let’s us in on the joke.
OUT:
John Carpenter’s Vampires
Interview With The Vampire
Dusk To Dawn
Blade
Underworld
Dead and Loving It
IN:
Shadow of the Vampire
Nosferatu (Herzog)
Near Dark
The Fearless Vampire Hunters
Nadja
Dracula 1931
51. Joss - April 28th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Psh. Where’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer!?
52. 8rustystaples - April 28th, 2008 at 10:20 am
What criteria do you use to rate movies?
53. Joss - April 28th, 2008 at 10:22 am

54. Christine - April 28th, 2008 at 10:55 am
You guys are too harsh on Shane. Just because you don’t agree with the choices doesn’t mean you have to devalue the entire list. I think you did a great job, Shane, of choosing movies that embody a variety of vampire films.
Of course there are other movies that are out there that could have been included. Make your own list. You can call it “Another 10 Great Vampire Movies.”
55. SarahJ - April 28th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Nice diverse list. Great commentary, good job!
56. Randall - April 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Okay, speaking as a horror film/vampire film aficianado here, now… and must say that I don’t think much of this list. (Sorry).
Missing:
Brides of Dracula (1962)
Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Dracula (1931) … I mean, come on… leaving that one off was reprehensible.
Dracula, Prince of Darkness (1965)
Dracula’s Daughter (1934)
There are other good ones…. some Hammer films, some independents… there’s many to choose from, but to miss at least the first three I mentioned was just…. not right.
Films that shouldn’t be on this list:
Bram Stoker’s Dracula… sorry, Coppola is a great director, and he made a great horror film once (Dementia 13) but his Dracula was plodding, poorly cast (Keanu Reeves?!) and too damn long. And not very scary, surprisingly.
Dracula Dead and Loving it…. I love Mel Brooks’ older films (particularly the original The Producers) but this one is tired and wheezy.
From Dusk Til Dawn… PLEASE. An utter piece of crap. Quentin Tarantino is, in my humble opinion, vastly overrated. And I know his whole thing is paying homage to the cheapee, raunchy, exploitation films of the 70s…. but he revels too much in it and to my taste it’s all for naught. I grudgingly grant that Pulp Fiction was a good film, but everything else he’s done, to my way of thinking, is only Okay… not the works of brilliance that people tout them as. And THIS one, “From Dusk…” was the worst. I couldn’t even sit through it.
It’s okay if you like it, but on a list of the BEST vampire films? No. Oh no no no.
57. NeoLudd - April 28th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Vampire Hunter D is the shiz-nite!
That is a vampire movie
But, I think this list covers the bases fairly.
But leave the spoofs off.
58. d - April 28th, 2008 at 11:47 am
while others want blood and guts an the scariest movie they can find.
supppose to be anD Right?
59. Cedestra - April 28th, 2008 at 11:59 am
32. SaturnION: 30 Days of Night? Seriously? That movie was one of the worst movies to come out of 2007.
I think I would probably have included more classic movies, if only to dissuade Randall from beating you with his stick. I think you failed to underestimate the power of vampire fans in large chat rooms.
Well, nice try Shane
57. NeoLudd: They won’t bite. :[ You and I can bask in our anime-filled delights and let them miss out. How are you liking Bleach, btw?
60. Cedestra - April 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Ooops, I was too late
61. carpe_noctem - April 28th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I definitely agree with Vampire Hunter! Anime should at least get one place on this list if you’re going for different genres!
And even though I didn’t much care for Underworld, Blade is a genuinely decent vampire movie, Lost Boys is a classic, Interview with the Vampire is a different change of pace, and From Dusk ’til Dawn is a classic Tarantino masterpiece. There are others who belong on this, and it’s sure you get mixed reviews, but I think it’s excellent! Well done!
62. Wanderer - April 28th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Vampire hunter d, and the sequal :bloodlust, were great vampire movies. There are many an Anime series with vampires, and that list would probably get tooo huge, and have more “should have been on” that I could imagine.
Maybe we’ll have to do a “Great # of vampire anime moves/series
63. erin lynne - April 28th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
whoever wrote this list needs to go back to high school english. his or her grammar is just atrocious. “This novel, and the movie that follows it rather closely.” what? that is NOT a sentence. listverse needs an editor to make sure crap like this doesn’t see the light of day.
64. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Hell yes, I actually agree with #1, Nosferatu is one creepy son of a bitch
65. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
i think that Blade should have been on here, one of the better vampire movies to come out recently.
66. Karpy - April 28th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Mel Brooks is a genius. I loved Dracula: dead and loving it as a kid. It was one of those movies that my parents probably hated because I watched it on a daily basis. The whole movie is on youtube.
67. jfrater - April 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I also agree that nosferatu is damned scary - I would not want to bump in to him in a dark alley!
erin lynne: Thanks for pointing that out - I am on holiday so I have not had the time I normally have to correct these things. While we are on the subject of corrections, you may want to revise your use of capital letters (or lack thereof) - they are obligatory in English and you seem to have left them out in every word except the one which doesn’t need them (”NOT”).
68. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Jamie: Shit I’d have a heart attack if I saw him ANYWHERE!
69. carpe_noctem - April 28th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Jamie: Loving the attitude!
70. Lynn - April 28th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Good list, I love vampire movies!
and did you know…
Bela Lugosi is the reason “vee all taulk like dis” on halloween in our dracula costumes. He is the reason that (most) all draculas since him have that particular accent. That was the way he spoke in real life and it has become a part of the whole drac vibe.
71. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I think if I saw Count Orlock/Nodferatu anywhere(If he was real) I’d shit myself, run, piss my pants, have a heart attack, and throw some object at him all at the same time.
72. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Sorry, “Nosferatu” not “Nodferatu”
73. BrotherMan - April 28th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Csimmons: Thank you for your acknowledgement of Nosferatu. Max Shreck was a very fine actor for his time.
jfrater: Did you read my latest comment on your:
http://listverse.com/questions.....questions/
list?
74. Kris - April 28th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I doubt anyone would agree, but I really thought The Hunger should have been on the list…
75. Becca - April 28th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Wow. Underworld was horrible. One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Interview was a billion times better. BUT good list nonetheless, I seem to be the only human who hates Underworld, and I will be sure to watch the two I haven’t seen=D
76. SlickWilly - April 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Csimmons: Just wondering, but did you actually read the list? Blade is already on here. (Though I think it shouldn’t be.)
As long as we on the vampire anime kick, I’ll go ahead and throw Hellsing out there. *Awesome* show. The OVAs were even better.
77. Wanderer - April 28th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
slickwilly:
alucard, is one of my favorite anime characters.
I’ve been keeping up with the manga, which they are directly redoing on the hellsing ultimate series that has been coming out every few months.
he would be number 1 on my vampire anime list =)
78. Csimmons - April 28th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Slick: Oh shit, I must’ve skipped that, sorry, and I have to disagree, it’s better than most of those shitty ass vampires movies that came out the last ten years.
79. Crimanon - April 28th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Good call on the movies, although I’m sure someone will have a problem. On the other end of quality, —http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066380/— The most Craptastic Vampire movie ever! Enjoy or Don’t.
80. antlyon - April 28th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Good list. I have seen all but #7 & #1. I liked Fright Night too, and how about Van Helsing? Wolverine the vampire slayer.
81. DK - April 28th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Disc & Slick: # 37 & 40
I jumped down to reply as soon as I read these comments so I dunno if it’s been said, but for I am Legend, the book makes it clear (very clear!) that they are vampires. The movie is an adaptation of the book as wells as Omega Man (which I haven’t seen yet)which was “loosely based” on the concept of I am Legend. I’d say it counts.
82. LooLoo - April 28th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I can’t believe you left off “Love at First Bite” (1978 or 79) with George Hamilton & Susan Saint James. Dracula meets disco! Way better than Dead & Loving It!!!!!
83. Crimanon - April 28th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Oh Oh, Twice bitten!!! Jim Careys first role!!!
84. Mom424 - April 28th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
SlickWilly; I agree with your comment on Tarantino’s lack of acting ability but in the same breath I must admit that his portrayal of the psychopath was rather chilling. Not really believable, but scary none the less. I’ve seen interviews with him; hmmmmmm playin’ it a little close maybe.
Randall; I agree that psychological dread was lacking in From Dusk ’til Dawn, but that doesn’t make it shitty or without merit, it just makes it different. It is a romp; the dialogue is funny, (the guy in the qwikky mart), George Clooney is appealing, Harvey Keitel on his worst day is good, Juliette Lewis is worth watching.
Geez, You’ve got to stop expecting some sort of epiphany from popular culture. You’d have more fun.
85. jfrater - April 29th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Sorry - commenting broke - it is back up now.
86. ChuChu353 - April 29th, 2008 at 12:16 am
Anyone familiar with Carl Theodore Dryer’s 1932 film Vampyr? Not the goriest or bloodiest vampire movie, but possibly the creepiest, eeriest vampire movie ever.
87. Doctor Who - April 29th, 2008 at 3:48 am
I adore every movie on this list (especially Nosferatu and Lost Boys) except for Underworld. Watching that one was like playing a boring video game while on cold medication.
And why no love for Bela Lugosi? Even if you don’t think the 1931 Dracula is the best vampire movie ever, it should certainly be in the top ten. Bela’s Dracula will forever be what pops first into the mind when you say “vampire”. It’s pretty much the definitive interpretation.
88. Randall - April 29th, 2008 at 5:37 am
Mom:
I don’t expect epiphanies from pop culture, honey. Please; I’m smarter than that. 99% of the time, pop culture delivers nothing more than a few moment’s diversion.
But that doesn’t give those producing it carte blanche to just cough up crap all the time.
Anyway, once again, you’ve mischaracterized me slightly. I LOVE junk, Mom. I’m addicted to some serious cultural cheese. I love old Godzilla movies. I’m crazy about the spy series of the 60s. I love old movies, and only *some* of them are treasures–most are just fluff. I love vampire films… in fact, I love ALL horror films. I’ve been a horror film nut ever since I was a little kid, and my older sister used to sit me down with her on Saturday afternoons to watch Monster Movie Matinee.
But “From Dusk til Dawn,” no… I found it boring and simply stupid–not charmingly dumb, but stupid. Sorry.
The only good thing about it was Salma Hayek.
89. SlickWilly - April 29th, 2008 at 6:58 am
Csimmons: If you take the martial arts action away from it, the movie falls apart. Low on plot, low on good scripting, high on perpetuating the genre of “state-of-the-art special effects action movies” where all of the characters inexplicaby know kung fu, where the hero wears all black with a long black trench coat, and where the villians all look like GQ models. It’s stupid, mind-numbing entertainment, like Underworld. Only Underworld had Kate Beckinsale in a skin-tight leather outfit. I don’t know about *you* but *I* know which side *my* bread is buttered on. The “Blade” movies feel like 2 hour long t.v. shows with bigger budgets. Shows geared towards the “Buffy” and “Matrix” demographics.
Sorry, I just consider movies like Blade to be emblematic of everthing that is wrong with contemporary american cinema. I should, this is just one man’s opinion. Don’t let me sway yours, if it’s one of your favorite movies.
DK: If you read my comment about I Am Legend, you would see that I already addressed your point. Yes, the book monsters are vampires. No, the movie monsters are not really vampires, and they are even less “vampires” in the Omega Man.
90. SlickWilly - April 29th, 2008 at 6:59 am
“…cinema. I should *add*…”
91. Mom424 - April 29th, 2008 at 7:05 am
Randall; I hope you have some love for Matt Helm, my favorite cheesy spy series.
You called me Honey, no one ever calls me honey. I think I love you. In another life Randall.
92. goof_ball - April 29th, 2008 at 7:35 am
haha #1 was on spongebob
93. Randall - April 29th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Love the Matt Helm. Dean-o at his loungey-coolish. Not my favorite—I prefer some of the TV series (The Avengers, of course… but also Secret Agent, I Spy, Man From Uncle….etc. ) and then the two “Flint” films.. (Our Man Flint, In Like Flint) and then the serious spy films… the Harry Palmer series (Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain) and of course Bond, and so on….
“I think I love you. In another life Randall.”
Funny. I’ve heard that before. Sometimes it’s been kinda sad, really. Sometimes.
Anyway, it happens, I think. In other lives.
But no one calls you Honey? I’m ever so sorry.
I’ll call you Honey now and then. My pleasure.
94. Eddy - April 29th, 2008 at 8:19 am
nice list
I would have put Bram Stoker’s Dracula in a higher place in the list, BUT I am NOT the owner of the site
*gets shot*
anyway, you’re doing very well with the site, and you must have a LOT of patience to do so much lists, and many of them are so different….
95. bucslim - April 29th, 2008 at 8:24 am

bucslim: Please, for the love of god, if you’re going to be sick…do it in Randall’s hat.
97. bucslim - April 29th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Slick - too late.
98. Mom424 - April 29th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Randall; We obviously need an emoticon for wry humour. I don’t get called honey because it doesn’t fit. I am not sweet, or syrupy. I am blunt, no-nonsense, and I always tell the truth.
Loudly. I would embarass the hell out of you in this life or any other. Sweetheart once in a while because I am kind, and do go out of my way for others, but not honey.
Oh and I bounce when I walk; shoulders back, toes out, and hard on my heels. (Yup like a duck) I can’t wait to go to the Met with you. Ha ha ha
99. Doc Moonlight - April 29th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Another vote for VAMPYR, BRIDES OF DRACULA, FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (aka DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES) and NEAR DARK.
I’d also add Hammer’s KISS OF THE VAMPIRE and Roger Vadim’s BLOOD AND ROSES (TO DIE OF PLEASURE)
100. NeoLudd - April 29th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Selma Hayek would make just about anything watchable
101. QDV - April 29th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Glad I’m not the only one who said “Whoa!” about the omission of Bela Lugosi. I might suggest, though, a look at the Spanish version, “Drácula,” which was filmed on the same sets. After Tod Browning and the gang finished for the day, a new crew came in with a Spanish-speaking cast and watched the dailies to see how the version they were making could improve upon the one made during the day. While Lugosi is untouchable in the English-speaking version, I think they made a pretty good movie (and just as in the English-speaking version, the actor playing Renfield is worth a look.).
102. bloomfever - April 29th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I agree with all but the Dracula: Dead and Loving it. Come on, yeah it is funny but shouldn’t be on this list. Quenn of the Damned and 30 Days Of Night need to be. they are both awesome movies! Also Blade 2 & 3 and Underworld 2 are better than the originals!
103. Bip - April 29th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Im sorry if this has already been mentioned but where is Martin? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_%28film%29
If you have’nt seen it then track it down. Its probally George A. Romero’s best film (no im not joking), the vampirism (correct spelling lol) is subtle and the protaganist is tragic. Ok ok film studies rant over (I studied Martin in my first year)
104. Bip - April 29th, 2008 at 4:08 pm

105. el duderino - April 29th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
At the risk of peeing on everyone’s cornflakes, most of these movies suck #1 and #7 notable exceptions. #6 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I love Quentin Tarantino but From Dusk Til Dawn was barely adequate.
The Hunger, not listed here is well worth seeing - if only to see Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve get it on.
106. Anne Rice - April 29th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Thanks for your interesting mention of Interview with the Vampire, and let me put in a word for Dracula’s Daughter, the early film in black and white that so fascinated me as a child. I think every vampire novel I ever wrote was inspired by that beautiful old film and its highly romantic view of the doomed Countess in a delicately rendered and atmospheric London. Take care, Anne Rice.
107. Cyn - April 30th, 2008 at 12:26 am
i’d like to think that really was Anne Rice. *sigh*
108. SlickWilly - April 30th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Cyn: If that was really Anne Rice, I’d like to get down to the bottom of that whole S&M Cinderella kick she was on. Those books are borderline disturbing. No doubt she is a fantastically gifted writer, though.
109. Mom424 - April 30th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Cyn; It could be, and why the hell not? Even rich, famous, talented people can have good taste. ie; visit Lv regularly.
Now if we could just get Tom Cruise to respond to the Scientology list. Oh yeah, I forgot, they’re not allowed to frequent the internet. Might pollute their engrams.
110. Ginny - April 30th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Interview with a Vampire was so great. It’s a shame the sequel was a whirling vortex of fail.
111. londonafter - May 1st, 2008 at 9:47 am
omg! blade and underworld in the same list as NOSFERATU and DRACULA???? no!!!!
its a sin to put those crappy blockbusters in the same list with the really big ones!
if you want to make a serious list about vampire movies you should learn about the good ones!!
besides that, the others are ok
112. Crimanon - May 1st, 2008 at 11:36 am
londonafter: uh, Crappy?? Blockbuster??? How does that work?
113. Cec - May 1st, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Salem’s Lot
Fright Night
Dracula 2000
Underworld
Dracula has Risen from the Grave
Horror of Dracula
The Night Stalker
Nick Knight
Dracula (Bela Lugosi- Only because of historical value)
Blade
The Brides of Dracula
Not in any particular order. I really enjoyed Christopher Lee when I was a kid. He was my ideal Dracula. Peter Cushing was my favorite hero.
Dracula 2000 had a neat spin on the Dracula story , that I enjoyed greatly.
114. Diogenes - May 1st, 2008 at 7:50 pm
I used to live a few houses down from A.Rice, when I was in New Orleans. The place exchanged hands many times.. After Katrina, it looked how it was for the years before she moved in. But what do I care, I never have read her books. anyway I also happened to see a table full of Tom Cruise silicone heads when I was in Stan Winston’s studio years later in California, but what do I care, this isn’t about that is it?
But yeh, I thought of ..Carmella (is that right?). and I have yet to see Vampire Lesbos.
115. Nikkii - May 2nd, 2008 at 8:52 am
I thought that your list was pretty awful to be honest with you,I do not understand why on earth you have Dracula:Dead and loving it at nunber two…it was an awful movie.In my opinion there was only two decent vampire movies in your count down(Interview With The Vampire and The Lost Boys).
116. Crimanon - May 2nd, 2008 at 11:43 am
Lost boys taught me one important thing. Missing Children: Never attribute to Vampires that which can be better explained by pedophiles.
117. Crimanon - May 2nd, 2008 at 11:46 am
Diogenes: It’s easier to watch Vampire Lesbos, If you’re under the influence of something that makes you giggle energetically. Southern Comfort works fine for me. Avoid smoking anything, you may just fall asleep.
118. arni - May 3rd, 2008 at 7:32 am
Hi. I’m looking for a vampire movie that i watch when i was a kid. I can’t remember the title, the only thing i remember is there are 3 young brothers, where eldest of them was attacked by a vampire and later, on that night, he came and knocked the window. The 2nd brother let him in and was killed. On the next night, this 2 brothers came and knocked the window again and the youngest brother was able to escape by using a cross.
This movie should be made in early 80’s or end of 70’s. Anyone,pls help.
119. Crimanon - May 3rd, 2008 at 6:31 pm
arni: That sounds like Lost boys or some weird memory of it. If you haven’t seen it since, try again.
120. plastic fanged Diogenes - May 5th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
You know, now that I think about the film Nosferatu, I can see the clamping of the neck of his last love before the light. Her hand holding on as the sun makes its way into the room. This shall be forever. Nosferatu never gets captured and the agonized writhering of the beast is but a thin exoskeleton shell..then the smoke and disapearence.
121. magnolia_snooze - May 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
good choices on 1, 2, 3 and 4 since they are the only vampire movies i watched on this list… oopsies??? lol
122. Fairlight - May 6th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
underworld and blade… HAHAHAHAHA
123. Aquirre - May 6th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
where is Nosferatu: Fantom Der Nacht, by Werner Herzog?!?!
Kinski is one of the greatest actors ever, and he was born to play dracula!
wonderful film
124. QDV - May 6th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Arni: Are you thinking of “Salem’s Lot?” Haven’t seen it in years, but there’s definitely the scene where one dead brother tries to get his brother to open the window. Reggie Nalder was a -major- badass vampire in this one, and who can argue with James Mason as his sidekick?
125. Egg - May 7th, 2008 at 1:35 am
Eew. Underworld.
126. alaskowski - May 8th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
This is simply the most spot on review of Underworld ever written: http://jaypinkerton.com/thetra.....world.html
Just saw The Insatiable the other night. Hardly one of the best, but was almost a comedy in areas with Micheal Biehn.
127. Tonny SS - May 10th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Underworld…
W… T.. F…
It is utterly horrible horrible movie.
128. skip - May 13th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
dead and loveing it shouldnt even b listed as a good vampire movie at all none the less as #2 it is a disscrase to vampire movies it makes fun of them not prmotes them it is a stupid comidy and stupid describes the movie to a “T”
129. londonafter - May 16th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
lol crimanon, you’re right, what i meant was that although these movies are blockbusters, the stories are not really good to be put in the list,not at all!
130. Crystel - May 18th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Good list, but how could you leave out the original with Bela Lugosi! that was really what started it all!!!
131. GothicGirl - May 21st, 2008 at 10:29 am
Hey Guys! What about Van Helsing?
132. GothicGirl - May 21st, 2008 at 10:35 am
Oh and dont forget Salem’s Lot…….
133. johnny - June 7th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I like all these Vampire movies, and I seem to remember a movie called “To die For”, long before Nicole Kidmans movie, about a Vampire and a Werewolf rivalry, that could very well have been the predecessor to Underworld.There were 2 movies made.Anyone else know of those movies?
134. Klusa - June 11th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
What!!??No Van Helsing????
135. karen - June 14th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Interview With a Vampire
he lost his will to live when his wife dies…
136. rushfan - June 16th, 2008 at 6:56 am
I loved 30 Days of Night. It was one of the best vampire movies I’ve seen in a long time.
137. Lil sis - June 18th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Thank you for not putting “30 Days of Night”, “Queen of the Damned”, “Van Helsing”, or anything of that matter on here. But please remove numbers 2+3. They don’t exactly deserve to be on the same list as “Nosferatu”.
138. Fatin - June 19th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Totally agree with lil sis! Queen Of The Damned sux big time! so does van helsing! QOTD is a serious insult to anne rice and the vampire chronicles!! im a huge anne rice fan! I love her characters particularly LESTAT!! Did u guys knw johny depp turned down the role for lestat in Interview!! also anne rice dint approve of tom cruise!!
btw the list is ok!! i prefer books over movies!!
p.s cant wait for twilight!!!!!
139. Hilda - June 25th, 2008 at 4:45 am
List is trash. Underworld - 3rd? Blade - 4th? In front of numbers 10, 8, 6, 5? And where the hell is Bella Lugoshi’s movie?
FAIL BIG TIME. For the sake of this site… don’t try to do such TOPs again.
140. Kathleen - June 26th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Nosferatu is the scariest vampire I’ve ever seen, and it’s funny because that’s from 1922.
141. liquidfire - June 29th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
i like queen of damned, but the book was great. i know that you can’t put every detail in a movie from a book,but it’s was alot of things that should have been in the movie. this movie should have been on this list. if there ever was to be a great vampire movie to be made, let’s face it the same skills anne rice have to write the book, those skills would be needed in making a movie.
142. Liz - June 29th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Your list is so darn wicked.Well it would really be great if you added the Queen of the Damned in your list.How about adding other movies to spice up your list.But great list though!!!
