Now that I think about it, no vampire or dracula movie is as frightening as it ought to be. From the time I was a kid, I was terrified of vampires having seen Fright Night but none of these movies are actually scary anymore because the special effects on the old movies have lost their scaring abilities. The problem nowadays is that the Drac movies are too low budget not much story line films and also they have sexified Dracula so much that he has lost his menacing, demonic image. That's why I like the vampires in Blade. I think the only person who every portrayed the immortal love with genuine urgency is Gary Oleman in Bram Stoker's Dracula and the only movies that had a bit of an original storylines (the usual, Dracula looking for Mina his lost love) were Interview with the Vampire & Salem's Lot. I wish they got it right for once and cast actors (for Dracula) who are not just hot but also capable of performing (like Viggo Mortensen, or Joaquin Phoenix, etc.) and did this legendery character some justice with ofcourse good plots, good writing, cinematography, direction, and special effects. I'd love to see that.
starwars For the best vampire movies for me would have to be Salems lot (which is on sometime this month) which I agree with what lady jade said and john carpenters vampires with james woods and daniel baldwin, and of course blade. I mention blade because the priest out of john carpenters vampires is in it as curtis the one who turns into an vampire, the worst vampire movies are the third from dusk to dawn and the sequel to john carpenters vampires los meurtes with jon bin jovi. Also the first til dawn movie kicks ass.
Ahh... and shakoon how would you know what vampires die of? Though I have to agree with you. Holy water is as plain as water, blessed by seventy year old priests and garlic is a type of food that lies in many entrees though we do not know it. And another thing - of course if you steak ANYONE through the heart they are going to die. ^^ quite amusing thought actually.

OH GOD NOOOO! I'll do anything, just don't make me sit through this film again^
Best vampire movie? I like all of the hammer ones, but they are looking a bit dated now. Near Dark I also enjoyed, but I'm yet to see a 'flawless' vampire movie yet.
One of the best books I have ever read is a vampire novel by Brian Lumley entitled 'Necroscope'. This would make a bloody brilliant film, and its criminal that nobody has adapted it yet.
