Worst Vampires in film history...Discussion

[Wicked Lester]

Is this the one? If so I'd be surprised if it was anything better than mediocre. Most of the stuff released by braindamage video varies from "ok" to total suckage tho they do have a couple good ones.

[BlackLagoon]

I simply don't enjoy seeing vampires portrayed with palpably homoerotic overtones. "Interview With A Vampire" is nothing more than "Brokeback Mountain" with fangs. THAT is the milieu in which Anne Rice's vampires dwell.

LOL, that's funny. I mean I didn't take that away from the movie but I understand what you mean.

For the record, I don't own it but I thought it was an enjoyable film.

I am completely at a loss as to why those who like this film seem to labor under the assumption that those of us who do not are somehow incapable of "getting it".........which has become a repeated theme.

Rest assured, I "get it". It doesn't require any specialized intellectual or artistic acumen to "get it".  BTW, I love "Lost Boys". I "got it" there too.

Yup, I "get it". And I'd be willing to endure a cycle of penicillin to get rid of it.

High off the light tower in dead center.... you can kiss that one GOODBYE!!!  A mammoth 574 foot bomb off the bat of Scatter!

That's it Lester. Never heard of braindamage video, but that cover was worth checking it out. I'll watch it tomorrow and let you all know if it belongs in this thread.

A couple points on Interview..

I didn't rave about ,just said it wasn't that bad. Do I own it? No.
Would I watch it if I caught on cable? Probably.

Aside from this I am not much of a fan of Anne Rice.
Actually I wouldn't even classify it as horror. My wife thinks it's closer to paranormal romance/supernatural erotica tho she is not a fan either.

Again, I agree. Anne Rice, like her or not, is worthy of a separate discussion.

I thought The Hunger could've been much better, it put me to sleep.  And Shadow of the Vampire: as a monster fan, I hesitate to call anything "weird" or "out there", but I just can't go w/the premise, never seen it.

Lundy, the wife and I found "Shadow Of The Vampire" quite good. Inventive premise and interesting script. I've seen it twice and will definitely see it again.

I actually worked on the trailer for this and could not wait for the film to come out. Really enjoyed this and Wllem Defoes performance

[tv horror]

Opera ghost the crosseyed vampire you are talking about is from the House that dripped blood and the vampire was none other than Jon Pertwee. Also Lester is Mrs Amworth the Glnis Johns version or has it been remade the Johns version is a British tv play and is quite good although she does not have fangs it is more the mystery of her legend.

[BaronLatos35]

Mrs. Amworth belongs front and center in this thread.

Enough said about it.

[Paul L]

OG, Scatter, I'll have to give "Shadow" further consideration then.

[BaronLatos35]

I'll third Shadow. A clever script makes this a treat for monster, vampire and Nosferatu fans.

Malkovich and DaFoe command the screen.

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

Shadow sucked plain and simple.....the performance wasn't believable...

The version you are referring to was made in the mid 70's.
It was remade as a lower budget movie that went straight to DVD in 2007. I have not seen it but it sounds like something to pick up.

TV Horror, I also thought it was a remake of the 70's version. There were no fangs in this one either. Regardless, flee from this one.
