The best vampire movies of all time – Part 1

Do any of you remember Dark Shadows? It was a late sixties, early seventies soap opera. The vampires name was Barnabas Collins (Jonathon Frid). He was 200 years old and lived in his family mansion. When I was a child I never missed an episode until my brother started having nightmares. We were then cut off from Dark Shadows, but every now and then I could sneak a peek. Back in the day it was scary but a really good kind of scary.

Interview With a Vampire had a terrific cast and each played the part to perfection. Antonio Banderas, Tom cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater , and many more. It was based off the book by Anne Rice. Christian Slater is the interviewer who interviews Louis (Brad Pitt).

Blade starring Wesley Snipes, and Chris Kristofferson. Blade is half mortal and half immortal. His quest is to wipe the vampires off the face of the earth, and they in turn are after him for his special blood type. I liked the first Blade, but the two sequels I cared nothing for.

Lost Boys, I would have to say is a favorite of mine. How does it feel to be new in town? One brother hooks up with the wrong crowd, who just happen to be vampires, and the other brother joins up with the Frog brothers, vampire killers. And all this time their divorced mother is dating the head vampire. If you’ve never seen the Lost Boys, I highly recommend it.

Resident Evil. I love all three of these movies. A world gone wild as the T virus takes over the city, and soon the world. The Umbrella Corporation experiments on two former employees, one is project Alice and the other is Nemesis. Alice escapes and finds the world in destruction, with her abilities she saves a group of people along with a little girl, the daughter of the T virus creator. Alice and Nemesis are soon pittited together in battle. Who is the stronger of the two? Watch and find out.

Underworld Evolution, it was a fairly decent movie. You have a war between vampires and Lichens, (werewolves). Lots of action, better towards the end than at the beginning but as I said descent to watch.

From Dusk Till Dawn starring Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, and Cheech Marin. After a killing spree two brothers head south of the border. They kidnap a preacher and his two kids and make it across in their RV. They stop at a bar called Titty Twister, probably the worst bar that ever existed. Not only is it nasty but the hangout for vampires.

Van Helsing, the famous vampire killer. Wolves as well as vampires. Vampires are being artificially spawned and he is called in too destroy them. He teams up with Anna Valerious, the last of a powerful royal family that Dracula has already destroyed. How does Frankensteins monster fit in? Watch and find out.

And that is my favorite vampire movies with Resident Evil being number one.
