      Great selection of films. I love Near Dark. The way the film uses sunlight as a threat is brilliant.

      They’re all great films. Blade, Sinners, Interview with the vampire & Nosferatu (1922) are among my favourite vampire movies as well. Which Nosferatu movie do you like best?

        I should have specified, 2024. I’ve seen the 22 one and it’s alright but it’s a little too of its time for me

          I love the 1922 movie. Of course you can’t compare it with a modern movie, but Max Schreck as Nosferatu is great and I like the way shadows are used as a technique.

    • ‘Let the Right One In’. A huge slap in the face the first time I watched it (I rushed to go buy the novel, the following morning).
    • ‘The Lost Boys’. I’ve not watched in many years, so I’m not sure it woudl keep its top 5 status but I really liked it a lot.
    • ‘Interview with the Vampire’. I expected very little from that movie. I was blown away.
    • ‘From Dusk til Dawn’. Because, obviously.
    • ‘Nosferatu’ (1922). Of course.

      All great movies. Let the right one in (the Swedish version of 2008; I haven’t seen the American remake) is my No. 1 vampire movie. I love it! How did you like the book?

      Yeah, Sinners is great! What we do in the shadows is a lot of fun, although I like the tv-show even more. The other films I haven’t seen yet. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and Morbius I’ve never even heard of before. I’m adding them to my watch list straight away. 🙌

    Making a top 5 list is so hard! There are tons of great (and so bad their great) movies in all different genre. I didn’t even mention any of the Christopher Lee movies, and sometimes you just want to revisit the old Universal monsters. The Spanish language version of the 1931 Dracula also doesn’t get nearly enough love. This is a great way to remind yourself that fans of vampire movies are spoiled by choice compared to other supernatural mythos movies.

      That’s true! There’s a huge selection of vampire films. And the differences between them are just as vast. No matter what sort of film you like, you’ll find a vampire film to suit your taste. That’s why it never gets boring to watch vampire movies 😁

        Haven’t seen Queen of the Damned, but it’s got Aaliyah, so it must have SOME redeeming quality beyond soundtrack. Beyond the soundtrack, “Gothic Vampires from Hell” has NO redeeming qualities. And I guess “worst with the best” would be an average of redeeming qualities with negative qualities.

      I love it, that Sinners is mentioned so often.

      Thanks for the links to the movies. Vampire Circus sounds very interesting. I’ll put it on my watch list. And I’m now curious about your honorable mentioned movies. XD I think, I’ll give them a go as well, one day

      Although I prefer Nosferatu from 1922, Nosferatu 1979 is also a great movie. Blade is my favourite vampire action movie. The opening scene (the blood shower) is one of my all-time favourite scenes in vampire films. And lf course, the lost boys is a cult classic
