Here's a list of 8 quintessential vampire kinos that all children of the night must watch ASAP.

If you watch 1 a week you'll be finished in time for Halloween

1. Nosferatu (1922)

The OG. Ostensibly not about Dracula, but everyone knows that was just to avoid copyright. Great flick, even if it portrays vampires as ugly (untrue).

2. Dracula (1931)

Bela Lugosi is the definitive vampire to this day. His facial expressions and line deliveries are delicious.

3. Horror of Dracula (1958)

Christopher Lee as the first overtly sexy Dracula. This film's success spawned many sequels, where Lee often refused to speak because the scripts were so bad.

4. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Count Chadula moves to London and slays mad amounts of puss, cucking like 4 guys until they hire Van Helsing to stop him. He even fricks one girl in a graveyard while in his monsterous hairy form. A flawed masterpiece.

5. Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are gay vampire lovers, and they have a vampire daughter together. Very progressive. It all ends in tragedy, of course.

6. From Dusk till Dawn (1996)

Quentin Tarentino plays himself (a creepy pervert). Also Salma Hayek humina humina humina awooooga boi-oi-oi-oi-oing

7. Blade (1998)

The first black superhero. He's half man, half vampire. And like all mutts, he's self-hating - so he hunts down vampires for a living. Has one of the most memorable opening scenes of any movie ever.

8. Van Helsing (2004)

Slopkino. Dracula isn't that memorable a villain, but his 3 brides are. Critics hated it, which means you know it's good.
