I like the night life and I really wish I could fly
but living off the blood of others? No thanks, I'll take a
cheeseburger to go please.
This is a list of movies about vampires. |

Blade (1998)
Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson |
In the Tomb of Dracula comic book origin, just before Blade's mother gave birth to Blade,
she was bitten by a vampire, which made Blade immune to vampires. Now a vampire hunter, Blade, joined by
vampire detective Hannibal King and Dracula-descendent Frank Drake, stalks vampires. In the 1990s, Blade teamed
with Drake and King in an agency created to fight a variety of supernatural beings. The Marvel origin is retold
in this 1998 Norrington film, with Blade's mother dying as he is born. Thirty-some years later, Blade now
exists somewhere between the two worlds, not human but not fully vampire. He has become a relentless and
superhuman vampire hunter, out to avenge the death of his mother and protect the rest of humankind from the
evil vampire race. In this pursuit, Blade storms a notorious vampire nightclub and in a virtual bloodbath
manages to wipe out most of the blood-lusting denizens. But the burnt corpse of vampire Quinn is reanimated at
the hospital morgue and bites hematologist Karen Jenson. Blade magically appears at the hospital just in time
to whisk Karen to his hideaway, a machine-shop run by his mentor Abraham Whistler, who once rescued Blade and
who now produces a antidote to keep Blade from turning into a full-fledged vampire and who builds custom
weapons for Blade to use against his evil foes. Meanwhile, Blade's vampire arch-nemesis Deacon Frost uses
computers to translate the Book of Erebus, with the ultimate aim of bringing down the old-guard vampire
council, headed by Dragonetti, and triggering the Blood Tide -- an event in which everyone in the world becomes
a vampire. |

Blade II (2002)
Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman |
Set in Prague, the plot finds a new crop of "Reaper" vampires threatening to implement a viral
breeding program, and they're nearly impervious to attacks by Blade, his now-revived mentor Whistler, and a small
army of "normal" vampires who routinely combust in a constant conflagration of spectacular special effects. It's
up to Blade to conquer the über-vamps, and both Snipes and director Guillermo del Toro serve up a nonstop
smorgasbord of intensely choreographed action, creepy makeup, and graphic ultraviolence. It's sadistic, juvenile,
numbing, and--for those who dig this kind of thing--undeniably impressive. With the ever-imposing Ron Perlman as
a vampire villain. |

Blade
- Trinity (2004)
Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson |
The final battle begins and the trinity comes to an end! Blade is back and his enemies have
grown in number since they resurrected their king Dracula. Together with a new group of vampire hunters called
the Nightstalkers led by Whistler's strong but beautiful daughter Abigail and the wise-cracking Hannibal they
must finally defeat the vampires or face inevitable extinction. |

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

|

school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos, the Vampire King, his sidekick Lefty and their determined gang of

When Bella Swan reluctantly moved to the perpetually overcast town of Forks, WA, and set
out to carve a niche for herself, she assumed it would be one similar to the low-profile social position she
held back in Phoenix. First on the list of surprises was the unfamiliar attention from the male population of
her new high school; second, the attention from one male in particular: Edward Cullen, a vampire. Before
long, the unlikely soul mates find themselves in a passionate relationship with a variety of significant
setbacks, including Edward's special-needs diet (he doesn't eat humans, but Bella's scent inspires a nearly
impossible to harness bloodlust) and the human girl's mortality. Though things proceed relatively smoothly at
first (Edward even introduces Bella to his adoptive vampire family), a visiting vampire clan catches Bella's
unique scent and threatens the young couple's happiness. Fearing for Bella's safety and that of her loved
ones, the Cullens must combine their collective talents in order to stop the clan from killing Bella. |
