Vampire's Day Soiree - Best Vampire Movies/TV shows

Greetings!
I decided to join the Vampire's Day Soiree, an event for Valentine's Day by Holly Horrorland (Blog post link HERE...


My post is on several good Vampire TV shows and movies, as I couldn't perform any kind of 'Vamp' look, my clothes are just not that versatile!

Also included in this post are each (TV/movie) best couple/best character
-------------------------------------------------------------

1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer


Back when vampires didn't SPARKLE, Buffy is one of my favorite vampire TV shows. Buffy is a 16 year old girl that discovers her true identity as the slayer.

I really liked this TV show, all the seasons were really good, and the show has an extremely strong cast. Both main characters and backups show quite good acting skills.

Best Couple: Angel and Buffy...but Spike and Drucilla are the Ultimate.

Best Character: Spike
-------
2: Angel

A spin off of Buffy, it follows the path of Angel, the vampire with a soul, as he strives to protect Los Angeles from demon hordes.

In my opinion, Buffy was the better show, but Angel has it's strong points as well.

Best Couple: Angel and Darla or Cordelia and Doyle.

Best Character: Angel
-----------------------------------------------------
3: Interview with a Vampire



A vampire named Louis tells his 200-year-long life story to reporter Daniel Molloy.

Most of you reading this are probably familiar with this awesome movie, of course, the book is better but I quite enjoyed the movie.

I normally detest Tom Cruise, but in Interview I actually couldn't recognize him until the credits came up! :)

Best Couple: Uh. Louis and Claudia? Not really a couple but they were nice together.

Best Character: Lestat (Obviously)
--------------------------
4: The Little Vampire

An EXTREMELY cute film, and very well done for a kids' movie. A lonely boy moves to Scotland with his parents and discovers his new best friend, who is a vampire named Rudolph.

I highly recommend this if you want to watch a cute movie with not so spooky themes. (Just enough...:))

Best Couple: Anna and Tony (Anna's ridiculously childish crush on Tony is quite amusing)

Best Character: Anna or Rudolph
----------------
5: Dracula: Dead and Loving it


One word: Hilarious.

I like a good comedy every now and again, and what better than a parody of Dracula?

I rate it 7/10, for good humour, if not book canon fact. :)

Best Couple: Dracula and Mina, although the Mina and Jonathan scenes were extremely funny.

Best Character: Dracula...but Renfield is certainly close behind.
-------------
6: Fright Night


A teenager suspects that his new neighbour might be a vampire.

I watched this one Valentine's Day morning, and even though my suspicions were that it was blatantly cheesy and unrealistic, (Well...it was KIND OF cheesy, but that's not the point) it actually surprised me.

For instance, this movie is NEW and yet they have vampires that abide by the rules, (For the most part...) like the 'explode in sunlight.' I was quite glad to see that vampire fiction hasn't all slid down the tubes.

I give it a 8/10.

Unfortunately for me, while watching it (especially during the first part) I started getting nausea...Yes, that's my problem. One horror movie and I'm 10 steps short of throwing up. This whole morning I had my hand on my stomach and I had to stop Fright Night a few times and watch something funny so I didn't feel ill.

(Note: This even happened with INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE. I lose, big time.)

Besides that, it was fun and enjoyable to watch, I rate it as a favorite of mine.

Best Couple: Charlie and Amy.

Best Character: Peter Vincent, no competition.
OH YEAH
Anyways, that's about all for now.

Farewell!
