There is nothing better than curling up under a throw anytime and watching a scary flick. I know there’s nothing else I would rather do given the choice. I’ve watched hundreds upon hundreds of horror movies, and this is my personal opinion of which movies I think are tops. These are the top 5 vampire movies of all time.
5. Interview With The Vampire
This movie stars an excellent cast including Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and a very young Kirsten Dunst. It is an extraordinary adaptation of Anne Rice’s book of the same title. It gets quite gory in some parts and really keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Directed by Neil Jordan, this movie is a must-see for horror fans and non-horror fans alike.
4. Queen of the Damned
Starring actors Aaliyah, Stuart Townsend and Marguerite Moreau, Queen of the Damned is the steamy sequel to Interview With the Vampire. Although Tom Cruise doesn’t portray the vampire Lestat in this sequel it doesn’t matter. It’s still a great story line chock full of action and plenty of gore for movie buffs. It is director by Michael Rymer.
3. From Dusk Til Dawn
This movie stars George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, and Juliette Lewis and is directed by Quentin Tarantino. I decided From Dusk Til Dawn belonged close to the top of my list because of the crazy twist in the middle of the movie. It starts out as one movie and then turns into something completely different. There are insanely gory scenes that are almost cartoonish (which is true to Tarantino form). I love that! Also, Salma Hayek makes an appearance as one of the hottest villains ever, which makes it a must-see immediately.
2. Lost Boys
Lost Boys stars actors Cory Feldman, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jason Patric. It’s directed by Joel Schumacher. Everyone I know owns this movie. It could be because it was one of the movies we grew up watching or it could be that it is simply one of the best. The story line is the typical good teen gone bad with a huge twist. It’s not really all that gory, but it definitely has thrills.
1. Bram Stoker’s Dracula
This movie stars Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins. It is directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Bram Stoker’s Dracula gets top honors on my list because it’s a classic. The movie is sensual, thrilling, gory, and erotic. It’s all the ingredients mixed together for the best vampire movie so far.
