 | Scars of Dracula
Buy used from: $37.73 Grade A: Get past the poor beginning and ending of this film, and you have a great vampire movie.
|
 | Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $3.75 Grade A: An excellent vampire adventure starring C.Lee. A bit tame due to its G rating, but it had a good story, seduction and implied violence.
|
 | From Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $3.22 Grade A: The war between the vampires and humans dominates the second half of this film, and I like it better than the high tech Blade version. Fangs aplenty. No seduction but set in a strip club.
|
 | Underworld (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $1.20 Grade A: Not a traditional vamp film because there's not much vampires munching on humans. Was very entertaining. Lots of action.
|
 | Dracula (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection)
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.80 Grade A: Defining a generation of vampire movies, Dracula establishes the allure of the vampire. However the film is slow compare to modern films.
|
 | Razor Blade Smile
Buy used from: $3.03 Grade B: I liked this in an edited form on TV, so I bought it. Sure the action scenes are cheezy, but the seduction of the vamp is very good. One of the best low budget vamp films.
|
 | Dracula's Great Love
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.95 Grade B: Although the DVD has flaws, this was a very good vampire movie. It was well balanced with ample seduction of ample victims, and fang/sucking work. No action so avoid if you want Blade.
|
 | Nosferatu
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.76 Grade B: Compare Count Orlok to the vampire in Salem's lot. I love their monstrous appearances. Some interesting filmmaking in this German adaptation of Dracula, but hard not to fall asleep through.
|
 | Black Sunday (aka The Mask of Satan)
Buy used from: $12.00 Grade B: I had seen this on TV and liked its eeriness. Borderline between a vampire or witch movie. Atmosphere galore.
|
 | Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $2.78 Grade B: The original Buffy has a good sense of humor, fangs, and a good cast. Lacking violence and sensuality, but look for Ben Affleck.
|
 | Lust for a Vampire
Buy used from: $18.94 Grade C: It was entertaining, but vamps were unaffected by sunlight, and the seduction in the film was misplaced. Could have been great.
|
 | Count Yorga, Vampire
Buy used from: $2.30 Grade C: Better than I expected, this film contains some seduction, and decent action in the climatic hunt of the vampires.
|
 | Angel of Night
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.94 Grade C: I enjoyed this film from Fangoria (see Eternal Blood too). A good story and vampire effects make this a very watchable film.
|
 | Fangs of the Living Dead
Buy used from: $5.75 Grade C: This movie lacks much of the horror and seduction of the vampire but does have the victims entranced by the vampire and lots of cleavage. Better cover art in earlier version.
|
 | Taste the Blood of Dracula
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $2.79 Grade C: A bit of an odd film. It starts off with a good premise, but the story is lacking. Good scenery and violence, but not one of Hammer's best.
|
 | Werewolf Shadow
Buy used from: $7.34 Grade C: A mix of vampire and werewolf lore, this Naschy story is entertaining, but I liked Dracula's Great Love much better.
|
 | The Vampire Happening
Buy used from: $13.85 Grade C: Considering this DVD can be purchased for < $4, it was a decent vampire film. Seduction and good fangs, offset the cheeziness.
|
 | Def by Temptation
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.32 Grade C: I've read many good reviews of this film, but I didn't see it. From Troma, I thought that its seduction or violence should have been increased.
|
 | The Living Dead Girl
Buy used from: $12.81 Grade C: I wanted to give Rollin a second chance and this was a very good film. The only problem is that there really weren't any vampires. Sure the girl drank blood, but if you don't have fangs...
|
 | Killer Barbys
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $5.02 Grade D: If this movie actually featured vampires, its humor and sexuality might have made it good.
|
 | The Vampires Night Orgy
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.11 Grade D: Its unrated, but there is little violence and nudity, so don't let the rating hold you back. Good spooky setting is offset by not enough vampirism and inappropriate 70s music.
|
 | Dracula's Daughter/Son of Dracula
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.03 Grade D: These two films had good storys but didn't have the horror, seduction or intrigue of the original.
|
 | Blood of the Virgins
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $15.05 Grade D: Boring vampires highlight this cut to pieces Spanish film whose only features are on the chest of the female lead. Skip it.
|
 | Vampyros Lesbos
Buy used from: $6.32 Grade D: This was a well shot, erotic film. But it really wasn't much of a vampire film. Vampyres was better, but less stylish.
|
 | Daughters of Darkness
Buy used from: $6.59 Grade D: A sleepfest. This film makes Vampyros Lesbos seem exciting. Vampire films need fangs.

Listmania!
