Vampires

Scary yet seductive, the vampire has inspired more fascination than just about any other creature in horror history. Ever since Bela Lugosi set the standard for sinister sophistication with his iconic performance in Tod Browning’s 1931 classic Dracula , filmmakers have been relentlessly reimagining and redefining the vampire myth as a delivery system for primal fear, edgy eroticism, and potent social commentary. Glam lesbian vamps ( Daughters of Darkness ), blaxploitation bloodsuckers ( Blacula ), pint-size Nordic Nosferatus ( Let the Right One In ), K-horror creeps ( Thirst ), and more are now all part of an ever-growing, multinational lore that will, truly, never die.
