Vampires are one of Hollywood’s favorite horror monsters and
this statement is proved true merely by looking at all of the titles that have
come out over the past few decades. Why? Because vampires are so powerful and
versatile. They’re strong, sexy, commanding, and deadly. They can be the
villain or the hero of any story. And they are the monster that we can
empathize with and understand the most. But I like to look at the movies in two
distinct categories. On one hand you have the sexy, tortured souls that have
been made popular by films like “Interview with the Vampire” and “Bram
Stroker’s Dracula”. These seem to be the style of vampire that is popular with
movie goers. But on the other hand you have the vicious, deadly, blood sucking
nasties that we know from such films like “Lost Boys” and “From Dusk till
Dawn”, and these are the kind that I want to explore and talk about this week.
Beginning with the most famous Universal Monster of all, the timeless film
“Dracula”!
