For the Final Day of 31 Days of Vampire Movies, I’m going to cheat a little, because this one isn’t a movie, it’s a TV series. But, it’s my list, so I can do whatever I want with it. And I’m putting this one here because it was a formative vampire media experience for baby…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 30
Children can be such monsters. It’s the tagline of the movie, and it tells you everything you’re going to get. And it is a hell of a good time. This is my newest favorite vampire movie. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it. Abigail is raucous, bloody good fun. If you want…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 29
You knew this one was going to be on the list. Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula is one of the most influential Dracula movies ever made, by one of the most influential directors ever. And yet, it has all the makings of a delightful shitshow. You can see what Coppola was going for. A stylish, stylized…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 28
Day 28 of my 31 Days of Vampire Movies takes us into the realm of 70s blaxsploitation movies as I bring you one of the most unique takes on Dracula and the vampire genre as a whole. With that said, I bring you, Blacula. I know, but please bear with me. Prince Mamuwalde is an…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 27
Without preamble, I present to you one of the most batshit stupid movies ever made. Billy the Kid Versus Dracula has everything you could ever want in a vampire movie, provided you want to make the worst vampire movie ever made. It has vampires! And cowboys! Rubber bats on strings! A nonsensical plot! Acting that…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 26
Dario Argento is one of the most important and innovative horror directors of all time. Suspiria is a classic, and defined Giallo films. His movies have captivated generations with his use of color, dreamlike atmosphere, and haunting music. This is not one of those films. Dario Argento’s Dracula has, on paper, all the things that…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 25
Vampire movies tend to be either romantic, straight horror, or romantic horror. But vampires also find themselves at home in comedy movies, too. Vampires, eternal creatures that they are, are like cicada. They burst from the ground and terrorize everything they come into contact with, until the horror wears off and they become punchlines more…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 24
Yet again, we’re going back to the 80s for Day 24 of my 31 Days of Vampire Movies feature, and yes, again, we’re dealing with yuppies. For some reason, vampires really love yuppies. Like calls to like, I suppose, and yuppies were the bloodsuckers of the 80s. Vampires were once the go-to for softcore porn…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 23
Day 23 in my 31 Days of Vampire Movies feature brings us a sort-of sequel to the original Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Only this time, they can’t use the name Dracula. Instead, we have The Return of the Vampire. This movie was made by Columbia Studios, intended as a sequel to the original Dracula, but…
31 Days of Vampire Movies: Day 22
For Day 22 of my 31 Days of Vampire Movies feature, I thought I’d throw in a Dracula you may not have heard of, from the show-runner of one of the longest-running vampire soap operas of all time. Dan Curtis’s Dracula was another Made for TV Movie, and starred Jack Palance, who most of you…
