What say you, Filmsky? 🎥

Okay. No plans tomorrow. Gimme some vampire movies I need to watch pls

What We Do In The Shadows

FANTASTIC comedy change-up. Love love love it. Really, Taika's movies are amazing. Still in awe of Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Hunt is still may favorite of his, or at least that or Shadows or Ragnarok, he’s a weird one though, I tend to either love his stuff or I can’t stand it, rarely am I neutral.

Yeah, out of all his stuff, I'd have to go with Hunt. But I *do* have to question the need to make a narrative adaptation of Next Goal Wins, given that the documentary feels SO MUCH LIVELIER AND WILDER than what Taika gives us.

Still haven’t gotten around to that Next Goal Wins. Feel good sports stories are, like, barely above music biopics on the grand list of subgenres that don’t interest me at all.

I prefer my horror with a heaping dollop of comedy, since I'm most likely going to laugh at it anyway it's super serious

And when they get the comedy *right,* it's really something... such as it is with Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil (not a vampire movie, but just sayin'). Although if we're talking comedy mixed with horror? The Lost Boys is UNIMPEACHABLE, UNTOUCHABLE.

Shaun, obviously, but also American Werewolf In London figured it out first

Shaun didn't play anywhere near here, but its reputation spoke well enough for it that I blind-bought the DVD with no hesitation or not having even seen any footage of it. Not all my blind-buys succeeded, but hot damn, that hit the mark like nothing else.

*Eyes chance* Have you seen Love Bites? (Early 90’s romcom)

...googling... 1993... Adam Ant? ... Michelle Forbes?! On Prime! You had me at Michelle Forbes

I know!!!! And it is very camp, and I put it on my autistic vampire list. 😊 it has all the jokes I expected. hope you will tell me your fave part later.

Also I feel like we need to remind people the movie exists, as the wonderful TV series has overshadowed it. Also, I love the brilliant Wellington Paranormal spin-off.

need.towe.need.to

Wellington Paranormal was excellent

I will resubscribe to "Max" if they'll just give me more!

Also Maaka Pohatu should be a huge star

Lifeforce, because it's completely bonkers

HELL TO THE YES My man Tobe Hooper could do no wrong.

Near Dark and Let the Right One in.

Love love love that... and I think that'd work well as a double-feature!

I agree. They go well together!

near dark is so fucking good

Near Dark is the best vampire film of the 1980s, and yes I am aware of both Lost Boys and the Hunger. Anyone wants to fight me, I’ll be in the car park.

Oh, and Fright Night.

yes yes yes these are both great

I adore Only Lovers Left Alive.

OH HELL YES :D Love me some Jim Jarmusch, and to see horror fixtures translated through a Jarmusch lens (Only Lovers Left Alive for vampires, The Dead Don't Die for zombies) is terrific.

It's gorgeous, Tilda is ethereal and the scene where they dance in the living room to "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" is just one of my favorite film moments over like the last decade.

Fright Night is always a classic.

*Perfect* combination of elements, especially THAT FREAKING CAST. Chris Sarandon not only kills it, but he kills it multiple times and is now wanted for mass murder.

The man plays his villainous bastards well.

Amanda Bearse is underrated in general

THE LOST BOYS!

DA KING :D Love love love that movie. Said it before, say it again: best closing line in cinema, hands down.

I offered to hang off of the bridge they used while in Santa Cruz. I was told it was "dangerous" and "illegal." Whatever. The boardwalk is much less exciting if there's no vampires, so I pretended there were vampires. OTOH, the people were, indeed, strange (strange...strange) I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aw, wow... ... but aye, that opening with "When You're Strange" is amazing. And somehow, it only GETS EVEN BETTER from there!

If you're looking for Vampire Comedy there's always the underrated "Once Bitten", a goofy 1980's rom com which was released just before Jim Carrey hit big. It's stupid & vapid, hasn't aged well, but the dance scene alone is worth it www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyPc...

Haven't gotten around to that one yet, but I'd love to try it, aye!

I love Once Bitten! Have you seen Love Bites? (I feel like nobody did…)

Yes I’ve seen it. I think I’ve seen most vampire movies, well, a lot anyway

Zomg. So other than Martin which I love, What movies would you rec for someone looking for more vampire movies like on this list? boxd.it/w9mpO

Film list: Autistic/Disabled Vampiresboxd.it I’m autistic and I’m making a really niche list for purpose of recommending to me. Feel free to make suggestions. Nervous about making this list…

Hm. I'll have to think on it; looks like a decent list to start with! Here's hoping "Nosferatu" is worth something. variety.com/2024/film/ne...

‘Nosferatu’ Trailer: Lily Rose-Depp Gets Covered in Blood and Bill Skarsgård’s Vampire Terrorizes the Town in Robert Eggers’ Remakevariety.com Bill Skarsgård transforms into an ancient vampire in the "Nosferatu" trailer, a remake of the 1922 silent film.

Can’t wait!

Any number of Jean Rollin films. Shiver of the Vampire is a good one.

Just added Shiver of the Vampires to my watchlist. Awesome haps, thanks for throwing that my way! :D

Bit and The Transfiguration
