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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
