I may check that out this winter, thanks. Be sure to look for "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula"!
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "B. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One of the stories I forgot to mention in my first post is Neil Gaiman's "Snow, Glass, Apples." It's a very original take on Snow White and the reveal of the villain will blow your mind. Fred Saberhagen's Dracula series is good too. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Like Martin and I said, i'm tiring of the suave, young vampire as hunk nowadays. I'm also not a real big fan of vampyrs. Nothing against them, just not in love with the genre. So my list is relatively small: > > "Nosferatu" - one of the first and one of the best > "Dracula" (1931) - Bela Lugosi as the Count. A bit dated and camp, but still fun to watch > "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula" -- you read that right! A Western vampire flick, so horribly bad it's a must-see! > "Curse of the Undead" - An undead gunslinger-for-hire in the old West! Watch the priest's shirt button with a cross on it used as a killer bullet! > "Dance of the Vampires" (aka "The Fearless Vampire Killers") - Roman Polanski's comedic take was goofy, entertaining fun > "Dracula" (1972) - the classic with Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as the Count. Gotta love using the candlesticks to make a Cross! > "Blacula" - so bad it's good, Blaxploitation enters the realm of the Undead > "Salem's Lot" - the original miniseries. The little vampire boy floating oustide saying "Mommy, I'm cold" still creeps me out. > "Fright Night" - another fun movie about vampires, with a good modern take. > "The Lost Boys" - the movie's a kick, vamps like some kind of fun-loving Peter Pans--who just happen to like chewing on necks! > "Ultraviolet" - the Brit miniseries that took a new (to me) take on vamps as a misunderstood ethnic group. Good, intelligent, and atmospheric. > "Blade" and "Blade II" - not like the comic, but good escapist action > > > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "tdemorsella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > a few days ago, Bosco brought to our attention, a Vampire flick ("Let > The Right One In") that many of us likely would have missed.
