"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

James Wan is a horror director and co-creator of the Saw, Insidious, and Conjuring franchises. He was also executive producer on the Salem's Lot remake for (HBO) Max. In an attempt to hype up the release for Salem's Lot, he posted this watchlist of vampire movies. And honestly... it's really good. There are a lot of obvious classics but also some great obscure choices as well.

They left off The Lost Boys?

I agree, strange for that film to be missing. It's not like he was trying to keep himself to a short list of 10 items or something. Or maybe Near Dark was too similar, being from the same era? I don't know, I definitely would've included Lost Boys if it was my list.
