That is a pretty cool LEGO man. I have the Wolfman and Frankenstein, still need to find a Dracula.

Did you get the mummy ?

I personally feel that Let Me In is the best vampire movie ever made. (It's one of my altime favorite movies now)
Daybreakers was a surprisingly fun movie for me. It really took a whole new and different spin (At least to me) on the whole vampire thing.

If we're just getting more gothy or emo vampires (At least Angel and Spike were pretty tongue-in-cheek about their brooding and emo), then I really do find them to be the most boring subjects altogether, as I said in an earlier post.
But if someone finds something new and different to do with them, then I'm able to enjoy it a lot more.

I'm not as turned off by them as I used to be. Used to, if you told me a vampire was in it, I would not have anything to do with it.

Let Me In...is that the Swedish one with the kids? I saw that a while back, came in 30 min to late, but it was still a great story.

Let Me In is the american remake that came out last year (Or was it early this year? I honestly can't remember).
Let The Right One In is the original foriegn version.
For those who've seen one, but not the other (I myself have only seen the american)... I've been told by a couple people who've seen both that it's almost an exact scene for scene remake. The only real difference I'm told, is they made the vampire's gender less ambiguous.

I swear, between this, Kickass, and one other thing that elludes me ATM, Chloe Grace Moretz is one of my favorite actresses now.

Never knew there was an american remake. Don't know if I want to see it, seeing I saw the Swedish one. Maybe I'll watch the Swedish one again.

I really want to see the original, myself.

I actually liked both versions of let me in .... I saw the swedish version first .. then a few months later then I saw the new one .. good stuff .. I recommend both.

UNDERWORLD AWAKENING - Official Trailer - In Theaters 1.20.12 - YouTube

Looks interesting .. saw this trailer last night ...

hot hot hot...oh ya...i think shes hot too :)

So anyone seen the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter trailer yet .. I cant seem to find one .. all ive seen so far are the posters at the movie theater.

....that sounds terrible...

Heres the poster of the movie lol

No, but thank you for reminding me.

Man Selene (underworld..um...quadrology??) kicks ass,shes efficient,merciless,yet sexy and vulnerable too,definitely a stand out Vampire character,another quality vamp for me is Spike: the guy is basically Billy Idol with fangs,what brit WOULDNT like him???

My all time favourite vampire though is Jared Nomak from Blade 2,i just think hes the perfect vampire, brutally efficient,horrifically strong yet still very noble despite being infected with the reaper strain.

and i dont know if any of you guys own it,but the soundtrack from the Queen of the Damned movie is AWESOME vampire music,with a great line-up of rock/metal vocalists singing the songs from the movie.

And speaking of movies has anyone seen Priest yet?? What were your thoughts on it if you have?? I really really liked it,especially the fact that it was set in a time that seemed to encompass virtually all my favourite genres of film,but wasnt sure on the whole vampires as animals idea,and i thought Karl Urban was a little over-zealous with his bad guy acting.....

I fucking love Selene in the Underworld movies...there's a series that deserves the action figure treatment...I could see Neca doing it. As for Priest...it's got good action and nice effects but there's ZERO character development. It really doesn't do anything to make you care about the characters

Priest? Terrible, awful, I passed out.

I liked priest .. Western futuristic vampire hmm just gotta like it .. But then again I'm a vampire nut .. As for the soundtrack Love It ! One of my favs .. Just love when they play the song "change" by the deftones .. I think Jonathan Davis wrote some great lyrics to that soundtrack !

On another note anyone seen the new pictures for the new Tim
Burton vampire flick called "Dark Shadows? It had johnny depp, Johnny miller from hackers and Michelle pfeiffer .. Looks interesting

I've really liked the Underworld series, but I'm starting to fall behind (I've only seen the first two), but I've tried to keep up with the DVD releases at least. I just need time to watch them.

Also loved the soundtrack to QotD. Not so much the movie, but I liked it a hell of a lot better than IwaV. Dracula 2000 had a nice soundtrack as well.

Haven't seen it, but a friend gave me a copy to watch. Might try tackling that this weekend along with several other movies in my pile-of-shame.

I've read about it. Waiting to see what Burton and co. do with their interpretation. It's my understanding that this is a psuedo-sequel to the TV series.

I agree the Dracula 2000 Soundtrack was great ...

I'm hoping I get to catch the new Underworld on sunday .. heres hoping !

I was under the impression that it was a new tv series not a movie??

Right, if I remember correctly the Queen of the Damned soundtrack was composed by Jonathan Davis and other metal singers from that time did the vocals. I liked the soundtrack a lot, and I would always make mix cds with some of those tracks tossed in. The movie was bad though, I mean the premise of it was that a rockband's music woke up Lestat, wtf?

Originally it was a TV series in the 60's. Then there was a remake TV series in 1991. The Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version is a movie.

IIRC, in the book Lestat decides to become a rock star and sing about being a vampire, much to the chagrin of his fellow vampires. But I never read the actual book. Only read the synopsis and that was years ago, so my memory could be off.

The Dreseden Files series of (amazing) books deal with Vamps nicely by splitting them into three distinct "courts"-
Red Court vamps are typical vampires that die in sulight/holy water/ empowered symbols (crosses, etc.) and look like beautiful humans but are secretely hideous human sized bat things inside a "skin". They have super strength and speed but lose it all if they get shot in the guts, as it's all about how much blood is in their bellies. They see humans as cattle and have a royalty caste system with nturally born vamps at the top and turned humans at the bottom.

White Court are the pretty vamps- succubi that drain life force through intimate contact. Sunlight means nothing to them, they're beautiful in a supernatural way and have speed and strength, etc...but they go through their reserve of strength quickly when injured or doing above human physical feats. They kill their sexual partners- it's not Twilight in any way: people are food. Humans cant become White Court vamps- and births are rare.

Black Court vamps are the undead horrors that live in crypts and graves- like zombies with super strength, speed, etc. Many know magic after being in existance for hundreds of years. They're the most dangerous, as they feel no pain and can continue just fine even with massive damage.

Whats cool is that the three Courts hate each other- with the BlackCourt almost wiped out thanks to the White Court having financed and published vampire-slaying guides like Bram Stoker's dracula!

Really, stop whatever the hell you're doing right now and go buy/steal all of the Dresden Files books- it's 6:37 A.M. so you may have to break into a bookstore, but it's worth it.
Get going.

These books are interesting ... Are they All about vampires ? Or just supernatural events ?
