Long before True Blood, this was the daytime soap devoted to the supernatural. The series was facing cancellation until they unveiled Barbanas Collins, the vampire. The show is truly one of a kind. This set is a perfect to spark one's interest in the series.

In my opinion, no one can quite don the cape like Bela Lugosi did in the original. This set also includes the Universal follow up Dracula films.

Mark of the Vampire is Tod Browning's updated sound version of the lost film London After Midnight. Lugosi once again dons the cape with a creepy bride. The movies in this set are great also, Bogie actually plays a ghoul in one of the films. How bout that?

Roman Polaski's spoof on the vampire genre. Brilliant mix of horror/comedy.
Countess Dracula / The Vampire LoversCountess Dracula / The Vampire Lovers
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.00
An Ingrid Pitt bloodsucking double feature. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? Vampire Lovers is the stronger of the 2 in my opinion, but Countess is very enjoyable.

The Christopher Lee dracula films. Not exactly Lugosi, but they hold a special place in my heart...or should I say jugular?

The 2 vampire films included in this set are 2 of the best films ever to come out of Hammer studios period.

Think of this as the indie rock version of the Lost Boys. The latter being the trendy hip vampire movie of the 80's everyone talks about when mentioning their favorite vampire films, everyone seems to neglect to mention this one or has never heard of it! I first seen this at a 24 hour horror movie marathon and it's been on my fav list ever since. Not just vampire list, but favorite films list!

Think of the tale of the boy who cried wolf, but in this case it's the 80's an a lonely outsider is crying vampire when he suspects one has moved in next door. A perfect adaptation of the vampire legend for the time period it was produced (the 80's).

Forget Will Smith, Vincent Price plays the title role to perfection in the first adaptation of Matheson's great novel.

Another funny spoof of the vampire tale, plus Geena Davis is a pure knockout as a thirtsy night creature. She could suck my blood anytime.

If you own one of the original Nintendos, pick this classic up and enjoy a horror filled adventure against the Count. My favorite game as a kid.
