- The Lost Boys (1987) 35 years old and a cultural touchstone for the generations that have grown up with it: what else could top Empire’s vampire list but The Lost Boys?
- Nosferatu (1922) Denied the rights to Bram Stoker’s novel, F.W. Murnau turned Dracula into Count Orlok. Played by theatre actor Max Schreck (which seems to have been his real name, even though it means "fright" in German) in astonishing make-up, the character conveys an almost indescribable malevolence.
- Dracula (1958) Quatermass and Frankenstein preceded it, but to a great extent, Hammer Horror begins here. Directed by the incomparable Terence Fisher, written by Jimmy Sangster, pairing Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (with Lee getting actual lines for the first time), and going all-out with colour, glamour, sex and blood, Hammer’s Dracula aligns the elements and distils the formula that powered the studio for the next two decades.
- Near Dark (1987) A vampire romance from a time before that phrase became horrifying, Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark centres on star cross’d lovers Adrian Pasdar and Jenny Wright.

- “Nosferatu” (F.W. Murnau, 1922) The godfather of vampire cinema, F. W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” began as an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” and ended has one of the most influential horror movies ever made.
- “Let the Right One In” (Tomas Alfredson, 2008) Vampires got hot on the big screen in 2008 with the first entry in the “Twilight” franchise, but they had some delightfully creepy company from Tomas Alfredson’s Swedish gothic romance, the atmospheric look at a 12-year-old boy and the vampire girl who befriends him.
- “The Hunger” (Tony Scott, 1983) Reflecting on the inspiration behind 1994’s surprise Sundance hit “Go Fish,” filmmakers Rose Troche and Guinever Turner famously said they were sick and tired of seeing “The Hunger” play on repeat at every lesbian bar.
- “Only Lovers Left Alive” (Jim Jarmusch, 2013) If the fashionable bloodsuckers of the “Twilight” movies traded their frantic stares for expressions of ennui, they might have something in common with Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton), the retro cool vampires at the heart of Jim Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive.”
