Vampires I would invite
by malin_n_w | created - 14 Nov 2011 | updated - 16 Dec 2015 | PublicThese are my favourite vampire movies of all time. All of them aren't great, but they all have elements that I love! In case you're wondering why there's no Twilight, Blade or Underworld movies on here, it's because they all suck (haha). Look below and discover vampires the way they should be! Seductive, strong, gothic, horrifying, hiding in drafty, cobweb-infested castles, crawling down walls, turning themselves into fog or bats, sucking their lovers dry, NOT battling other vampires with firearms and martial arts, or stalking some attention wh0re teenage girl. Enjoy!
