Since the 1970s, vampires have appeared on film in many different ways.  Who can forget movies like Nosferatu and Blackula?  We might remember the old black and white movies starring Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula.  Even the PBS children's television series, Sesame Street, featured a puppet called simply The Count who, cheekily enough, just loved to count.  Maybe he had OCD, or perhaps he just genuinely loved counting everything.  Who can say?

For all of your Twilight lovers and Twi-hards, there is less than two weeks before Breaking Dawn Part One will be in the theaters.  I have had my calendar marked for months and months awaiting this very spectacular day.  The books are incredible, and the movies stick so closely to the books that you feel like you are really a part of the action that you already read about.  I cannot wait to be taken into the world of the Cullens yet again and be apart of the vampire family. To keep myself from going crazy while I am waiting for November 18th, I usually watch the released clips and the trailers...

Vampires are so in.  And why shouldn't they be?  They are beautiful, eerie, and so delightfully intriguing.  Obviously, since I write for a blog that is about vampires in films you can imagine that in any contest against spooky beings I would choose a vampire over any other character.  You would definitely be correct.  I don't break stride when in comes to the Twilight characters as well.  I am Team Edward all the way.  Sure, Jacob isn't so bad, even for a werewolf, but Edward is a vampire and he beats out Jacob any day.  Here's why: Sparkle - Um, I'm a girl, and I'm the type of girl...

Why is it that we are so drawn to fiction and fantasy?  I suppose there are many reasons that we become hooked to characters with special powers and amazing superhuman abilities.  Honestly, I like to escape off into their world and imagine that I am a part of it myself.  Maybe you feel the same way.  No matter why we love it, there is always a fantasy tale that we tend to like more than another.  Some of us prefer elves to sparkling vampires, or maybe a witch or wizard is what you need to make a fantasy enjoyable.

We love vampires! We've been in love with vampires for decades. It may seem that vampire movies and shows have only recently been popping up everywhere but this is not the case. Since the days of black and white silent films, there have been Dracula movies which all stemmed from books written about vampires. There is definitely no shortage of vampire reads that's for sure. If we made a movie for each vampire book out there, we'd be making them for decades more. So what is it that we love about vampires? What's not to love about vampires? They're immortal, they stay youthful forever as long as they...

Everyone knows vampires are awesome. Blood thirsty, threatening, terrifying with sex appeal to spare. This has been the vampire most of us have known and "loved" for most of our lives. Recently, though, there's been a different type of vampire thrown into the mix and you have to wonder, does something get lost in translation when they fall in love with mortals and sparkle in the sunlight? In this post we'll discuss the vampires of the Twilight series verses the vampires found throughout the rest of literature. Historically, the first vampire to ever appear on screen was Count Orlock in the 1922...

Over the past few years vampires have come back in a very big way to cinema. Since then they have also evolved in a huge way from Bram Stroker's original Dracula formula. There is now everything from the original blood sucking creature to the new "shiny vampires" from the recent Twilight movie buzz. The movies I will name in this post will cover many different things for every sort of vampire fan to enjoy. First and foremost is the original and arguably the best vampire movie to date, Dracula. There are two different versions of this famous film, but for the sake of the modern age we'll go with...
