<- Check out Part 1
Moving on to the 80’s we almost have the basic foundation for the three types of vampires in major motion pictures. The “gangster” ones, the “sexy” vamps, and the crybabies. For the most part the classic Dracula story has been twisted and mangled so far that most vampires no longer wear suits as they switched to leather. No longer live in castles but populate mansions and suburbia. Even soon they will lose their main weaknesses as you will have “daywalkers” and vampires that can survive a stake through it’s black heart.

The 80’s and 90’s take on vampires.
It all started in a year made famous from a Smashing Pumpkins song. Although Count Orlock in this picture kind of resembles Billy Corgan. The 80’s also featured “Gayracula” which from the title you could easily tell that one is headed straight out of the closet and up to Hillcrest.
The most notable vampire movie of this decade would have to be “The Lost Boys”. Don’t agree? Well don’t worry it is just my opinion and means almost nothing! But I did even go as far as buying the soundtrack, in a time when you would actually buy things like that. Funny that the soundtrack was the best part of the most recent vampire movie.
But of course if you had enough of Mr. Sutherland there are plenty of excellent vampire movies with that corny / awkward 1980’s feel to it. Movies that included a young Nick Cage and of course that one movie with the cruel elegance of David Bowie.
On my vampire evolution chart at the beginning of the first part these would more or less be the “Crazy” vampires. Especially as we break into the 90’s when the modern day grindhouse brothers (Tarantino and Rodriguez) make their own twist on the legend.
I remember 1990 rather vividly, sadly I do not remember Rockula. That will change soon, Thanks Netflix. But I do happen to remember the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer which later got taken for a walk down multiple television seasons by Joss Whedon .
Samurai Vampire Bikers From Hell sounds like another great movie to add to my Netflix. Then you finally have Interview with a Vampire. Which I believe ruined the classic vampire. Leave it to Anne Rice to drain the testosterone out of society. Luckily we have Wesley Snipes. Thank you Blade.

Remake after remake.. pussies and a sword wielding badass.
Now you had the start of Vampire remakes, spin offs, and trilogies. Apparently when you make one cool vampire movie you are obligated to make two movies not as good as the first one.
You have Subspecies (which was straight to video quality to begin with), From Dusk Till Dawn, Blade, Underworld, and Twilight. With all of the first movies being good (except for twilight as it was ostentatious enough to be called a Saga after the first movie was released). Note that a saga is : “a long story of heroic achievement” crying over a hot teenager and filling theaters full of tweens with sexual tension is not very heroic.
Then as it gets to lunchtime and I am getting bored of writing this. You have a lot of T&A filled movies like BloodRayne and Ultraviolet. For some real entertainment just get Lesbian Vampire Killers. I Am Legend is cool and further type cast’s Will Smith into “I’m a broken man but I have some dark humor” role (Seven Pounds, Pursuit of Happyness, etc).
Let’s see what else:
David Boreanaz is you are a vampire (Angel) how are you so goddamn tan?
Edward if you are a bitch you probably won’t get the girl anyways.
Daybreakers looks like it is taking the I Am Legend approach with a zombie vampire plague.
There are a bunch of Vampire TV shows out there that I haven’t watched. Should I?
Van Hellsing kind of sucked but definitely used the T&A aspect of vamp movies.
They should make another Blade movie without professional wrestlers and comedians trying to be action stars.
But if you do not want to beat around the bush (or maybe you do) you can catch this list of vampire movies (not safe for work!) kind of like Lust for Dracula which will not leave you hanging and has no sexual tension.
Okay so after going over a centuries span of Vampire movies I eventually referred everyone to watch vampire porn movies. Did I just invalidate one hundred years worth of film in some twisted way or are we just perverts?
If you were actually wondering it is both.
