I've mentioned previously that Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) sparked my love for the vampire genre, here. Luckily, I didn't have long to wait for another epic vampire movie to hit theaters, because Interview with the Vampire came out two years later in 1994. Interview with the Vampire movie was such a huge deal when it …
Kiss of the Damned
Sometimes when you like a movie it's because of the plot, the cast or the cinematography. And a good movie will usually contain more than one of these attributes. That being said, I still really loved Kiss of the Damned (2012). If I could describe it in just 5 words it would be "sexy campy …
Let the Right One In
Wow, it's already the end of December! How time flies when the season turns dark and rainy. Since it's winter I wanted to talk about a vampire movie that fits the dark broody winter vibes. I was tempted to pick a Christmas movie this month, but alas didn't know of any... brb going to go …
The Lost Boys
Ok, Storytime! When I was a young'un, I would stay up really late watching movies. I was probably twelve at the time. I don't know if I had insomnia, or if I just liked having our big screen tv all to myself. Or that I got to watch all the R rated films to my …
Underworld
If you asked 18 year old Sandra what her favorite movie was, it would be the 2003 film Underworld. I feel no shame for my unabashed love for this movie. Heck of the 5, yes count them, 5 movies in the series I've seen 3. I distinctly remember watching this film late at night at …
Happy Halloween!!
It is time my dear fangers (word I just made up)! Halloween is my favorite holiday, obviously. At the beginning of October I try to watch as many horror movies as I can. Not all of them vampire movies either, I like to mix it up with new and older movies. This year I watched: …
What We Do In the Shadows
What's better than a horror comedy? A vampire mockumentary horror comedy. What We Do In the Shadows (2014) is a such a wonderfully weird movie, that I did not know I needed in my life. I think I watched this movie like 5 times within six months, all with different friends so I could share …
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
When I think about all the modern vampire movies I've seen, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is one I recommend the most. This 2014 American horror Western film, is set in modern day Iran and filmed in black and white. The vampire is a young woman who stalks the streets of a ghost …
The Only (Hot) Lovers Left Alive
Confession, I'm not sure where to take this blog. I want to talk/write about vampire movies, but am unsure where the focus should be. Should I write about the films that I love or the films that I think are OK, but are interesting to the genre? I'm leaning towards vampire films that in some …
It’s Officially Fall!
Leaves start changing colors. A crisp wind stirs the air. Eerie music starts to play..... I rise from my depressive slumber. Looks into the camera (there's a camera now) and says "Did someone say Halloween"?? Record scratch. I'm back! I took a short break to sharpen my fangs and now I'm thirsty for some vampire …
So it begins….
I think it fitting to start this film blog that is about vampire movies with the first vampire movie that stole my heart, the 1992 classic Bram Stoker's Dracula. Poster Image via Sara Deck I was about ten years old when I first watched this movie, and wayyyy too young if I am honest. My …
