Martin (1977): It’s been a long road from the classic bloodsuckers of urban legend and Universal horror classics to the tomato juice-sipping, noble-intentioned, fanged pansies of the Twilight franchise. But sensitive vampires come in more shades than emo. The teenage-looking protagonist of George A. Romero’s undersung classic only thinks he’s a centuries-old vampire—suffering from neither the drawbacks nor the benefits of the disease.
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979): Max Schreck’s Nosferatu in F.W. Murnau’s original was so animalistic his face bore distinctly rat-like features. So does Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog’s not-quite-remake, but with a major difference: Kinski is all too aware of his disgusting features, spending the film wallowing in self-disgust.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992): As played by Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and Frank Langella, the Count was a malicious, seductive gentleman. For his adaptation, Francis Ford Coppola created a new backstory: Gary Oldman’s Dracula pines for his dead wife, whom he believes to be reincarnated in Winona Ryder’s Mina Murray. The real story is their mutual love, torn apart by mean old Van Helsing.
Interview with the Vampire (1994): By focusing primarily on the immortality aspect of vampirism in her 1976 novel, Anne Rice all but invented the brooding vampire, and the film version was all but happy to give us a reluctant bloodsucker in a boring Brad Pitt, played as counterpart to Tom Cruise’s Lestat.
The Addiction (1995): How serious is Abel Ferrara’s vampire contribution? It opens with My Lai massacre footage. Lili Taylor’s NYU philosophy student is bitten by Annabella Sciorra, and her hunt for blood becomes an unsubtle metaphor for drug addiction.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009): Yes, there are still Underworlds and 30 Days of Nights, but the most popular vampire fiction— Angel, True Blood , this bullshit—features those who’d never dream of harming humans. Man up and chow down, guys.
