Best Vampires Movies Of All Time
It’s the perfect time of year for a vampire flick! Parade.com just ranked the Best Vampire Movies of All Time. Whether you like your monsters silent and shadowy or sparkly and brooding, here are the Top 10:
- Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) — The one that started it all. A silent, eerie masterpiece that defined the vampire look long before Dracula had fangs.
- Let the Right One In (2008) — A haunting Swedish gem about friendship, loneliness, and one seriously creepy kid vampire.
- Drácula (1931) — The Spanish-language version filmed at night on the same sets as the Bela Lugosi classic.
- Dracula (1931) — Lugosi himself, cape and all, hypnotizing audiences for nearly a century.
- Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) — Werner Herzog’s moody, gothic reimagining of the original.
- Sinners (2025) — The newest blood in the lineup, already earning praise for its dark, modern twist.
- Near Dark (1987) — Western grit meets vampire bite—one of the coolest cult classics.
- Blade 2 (2002) — Wesley Snipes and Guillermo del Toro make vampires badass.
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) — Lavish, bloody, and pure gothic theater.
- Only Lovers Left Alive (2014) — Artsy, hypnotic, and effortlessly cool.
Farther down the list: Interview with the Vampire (#18), Twilight (#19), The Lost Boys (#26), and Hotel Transylvania (#45). And dead last at #52? Jim Carrey’s Once Bitten.
Really, all five Twilight movies made it, but Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake didn’t?
That truly sucks.
