frightful friday

with halloween less than 2 weeks away, we should be doing all we can to get in the mood. with that in mind, allow me to present the following:

Dose.ca's Top 10 Vampire Movies

in case you didn't feel like following the link, here's the titles that made the cut:

1. Vampires (1998)
2. Underworld (2003)
3. Nosferatu (1922)
4. Near Dark (1987)
5. Lost Boys (1987)
6. Interview with a Vampire (1994)
7. The Hunger (1983)
8. Fright Night (1985)
9. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
10. Blood: The Last Vampire (2000)

i'll admit, i'd never heard of almost half this list... but i am now chomping at the bit (pun intended) to see the hunger for no other reason than the fact it stars mr. david bowie... as a vampire!!! it doesn't get any more awesome than that.

there are some down-on-their-luck vampire movies that have been left out such as blade, from dusk 'til dawn (quentin feaking tarantino!), and the loveably campy original buffy the vampire slayer movie... also missing is the leslie neilson stinkbomb dracula: dead and loving it... i wonder how that got left off??

not to be left out, the christian saviour himself gets in on the action when he is called back to fight vampires in jesus christ: vampire hunter!!

and never letting us forget the image of vampires as sexy undead beings, we have the parade of vampire-themed erotic movies with colourful titles such as vampire hookers and barely legal lesbian vampires.

by the by, all this looking up of vampire movies has made for a very enjoyable afternoon for me... MUCH more exciting than you know... working.
