My Halloween tradition is to watch Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers. Great flick! Funny, creepy, & beautifully filmed!
A fantastic film. I traditionally put this one on at least once during each winter season though, not Halloween. I need the snow.
One of my favorites. Have you read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova? One of my other favorite vampire books.
Hey could anyone help me with a movie adaption of Dracula I can't seem to find: in which version does Mina levitate up from her bed when Dracula or his fog is present? I think it's a version from the 60s or 70s. Thanks!
Two made-for-TV vampire-oriented movies from the 1970s/1980s that I really loved were "Old Dracula", a comedy starring an elderly David Niven, and "I, Desire" (a/k/a "Desire, The Vampire"), a 1982 flick starring David Naughton, which had an excellent performance by Brad Dourif!
Morganville: The Series (produced from Rachel Caine's script from Glass Houses, the first book of her popular Morganville Vampires series), filmed at locations in Dallas as a digital series of six ten-minute episodes, edited to a one hour pilot (you can blame me for this over-the-top promo-image; alas, it was not the DVD cover )... Amber Benson portrays Amelie, Ben Easter as Michael Glass, Robert Picardo as Oliver, Jordan Farris as Shane Collins (entire cast at IMDB link below)... Morganville: The Series (TV Mini-Series 2014– ) - IMDb I think it's a vampire classic, ...but I'm biased. Cat
It might the one from 1979 with Frank Langella simply titled Dracula. Also stars Kate Nelligan, Donald Pleasence, and Laurence Olivier. I have his on Bu-ray and even saw it at the theater, but will have to check to see if it's the one you're asking about.
James Rolfe just posted a video about which Dracula movie adaptation is most faithful to the book and I thought you guys would enjoy it.
Thanks for that Paul , thoroughly enjoyed that . Now going watch the BBC 77 and Palance once. Cheers !
My Best Friend Is A Vampire Excellent movie that adds it own additions to vampire lore. Among them: Living vampires are not much affected by exposure to the sun. Dead vampires are the ones who must avoid the sun. Living vampires age at a rate of 1 year for every 10 years, to which the newly turned vampire exclaims "I'm going to be a teenager for 20 years!?" When someone is turned into a vampire, he/she will receive a visit from the vampire version of a guidance counselor to assist in adjusting to the vampire existence and to plan for the future.
Just playing a Cameo Parkway CD boxset of mine and heard this song for the first time. Don’t think it was ever released in the U.K and I’ve never heard it played on the radio. Sounds like quite a character .
