The silent classic Nosferatu

You can download the entire show (sorry, I'M not allowed to put URLs up yet) from some sites because the original makers got their assessments whipped for copying Dracula with few changes.

The Charlaine Harris "Southern Vampire" books are being produced by HBO as we are speaking. It is a series called "True Blood", and will premiere on 9/7/08. Anna Paquin is starring as Sookie. Info garnered from wiki.

Movie: Twilight (though it technically isn't viewable yet as it has not been released to the theaters)

The topic is GOOD vampire shows or movies. Twilight is NOT a good vampire movie.

Now, now, the movie isn't out yet. We don't know how faithfully it will adapt the source material. Edward could eat Bella in the first ten minutes, that would rule.

The only thing that would make that movie worth watching is making the characters above age, a few good sex scenes, and bella getting the tee total fuck killed out of her.

Vampire sex scenes are passé. The Twilight movie could be superb if it was handled like Terry Gilliam's Brazil or An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge. The plot unfolds exactly as written in the novel, but, five minutes from the end, we abruptly discover that Bella's entire experience is a mental hallucination the vampire induces by way of hypnotic powers in order to sedate the girl as he slowly exsanguinates her.

go down on me

Duckula!

Omg ! I just recently watched Blood: The Last Vampire movie and I totally fell in love with it. I need to watch the episodes..

^ Good One.

lol, my favorite vamp sex scene is Lilith Silver f'n and killing that goth chick in Razorblade Smile... ;)

I will have to agree that Forever Knight is one of the better vampire series out there. I loved LaCroix.

And as far as the Twilight movie...I never even read the books really because I heard it was mostly romance crap. Supposedly it's like a gimped Anne Rice for teens, especially considering the author is Mormon, and from Georgia. Tried reading Twilight anyway, just to try and give it a chance, and I just couldn't get into it.

Besides, I tend to like my horror fiction a lot more dark and gritty, like Anne Rice or Poppy Z. Brite. Lost Souls is definitely one of the better vampire novels I've read.

Me, too!
I thought Angel was brilliant, but never got into Buffy.

vampire shows
 

true blood is ok. i didnt say great just ok.

yeah it's alright

The fact that the Twilight series' author is Mormon is a large indication about why the vampires are young and abstinent.

The Fearless Vampire Killers is a lovely little vampire movie Roman Polanski did in the 60's, albeit a dark comedy. It's the movie where Polanski met his future doomed wife Sharon Tate, for those really interested.

TrueBlood!

Yeah I know this thread's a bit old, but I just found out the BBC/BBC America show Being Human's being Americanized on SyFy starting Jan. 17. How they're gonna deal w/2 different versions of the same show is anybody's guess...

Here's the BBC America link for the original:

Hmm I've already watched the original beforehand, it'll be nice having one that doesnt have cultural references that I dont understand and an accent that isnt understandable if they speak too quickly as they somtimes did in the original. Though I kind of wish they'd not work in a hospital as nurses, though maytbe seeing them in an American hospital will seem better.

Well, having not seen any episodes, I'll have to watch a few of the original before the new one comes out. It seems pretty cool though from looking at the sites...

Heres a good website which I have been watching the original off of, as well as plenty of other shows and movies. Please note, it also includes the original pilot episode which is a bit different from the later episodes, as they switched most of the cast members.

The Vampire Diaries

Im very very fond of true blood :)

everyone tried to get me to watch vampire diaries but its too.... idk its not in my interest :/

the movie van helsing was awesome , loved the three brides
blade trilogy was awesome as well

Don't bother on the movie bloodrayne that movie will upset you, just play the games

hmmm im not sure about anime's as i don't watch them as much

the movie tales from the crypt bordello of blood was a good one
and so was From Dusk Till Dawn

hope i was of some help :)

I have to agree that Dark Shadows is by far one of the best shows to feature a vampire (I'm not going to just call it a vampire show because there were many other things going on) and it set the bar for all the rest.
