I like your picks. I'm not into hunky vampires at all.

West! Watch the priest's shirt button with a cross on it used as a
killer bullet!

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
