The Vampire Hunters guide to lists

I admit, the reason I started this blog was because of a yahoo collection; one of those 'greatest or worst ever' lists where they almost always leave off at least one iconic character. The one I am referring to was the 50 top horror/scary movies of all time. There were so many good and bad things about it, that I was finding myself constantly posting comments. I decided to channel my energy into a blog instead :)

What I will do, is when one of these lists appear, give you guys the link, and comment on the content. This time, it's the 10 1/2 awesome vampire list. http://movies.yahoo.com/photos/collections/gallery/1265/10-12-awesome-vampires#photo0 starting off that I will not go and see Twilight, it just doesnt interest me at all, sadly. I am assuming they are counting Blade as a 1/2 vampire...

I don't think these are in any particular order, but here is what the list contains:

Kate Beckinsale - Underworld, Bela Lugosi - Dracula, Tom Cruise - Interview with a Vampire, Kiefer Sutherlin - The Lost Boys, George Hamilton - Love at First Bite, Catherine Denevue - The Hunger, Lance Henriksen - Near Dark, Salma Hayek - From Dusk til Dawn, William Marshall - Blacula, Max Schrek - Nosferatu, Wesley Snipes - Blade

Okay, I know that there is going to be some pissed off Buffy fans seeing this list void of Angel and Spike.

I also found a list of the 70 top vampire movies of all time. http://snarkerati.com/movie-news/top-70-vampire-movies-of-all-time/ Someone took the time to make this list, and it is a good mix of old and new, which I always like to see. The one thing I was shocked about....Bram Stokers Dracula at #11. Seriously? Okay, it was an okay film, but Interview with a Vampire (#15) was miles better.. What do you guys think?

Rot your Vote!!

Please use your right to vote....for the horror character that would have the dirtiest U.S. Presidential Campaign! The poll is posted to the right, and Freddy Krueger is taking a good lead. I will make a campaign poster for the winner and post it here on the blog! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Introduction to the Club

I know that I am not the only fem who likes horror and scary films. Whether you are a die hard fan, or you are being made to watch them, this is the place for you! I want to discuss films that I have seen with other fans, and also take a look at the genres and history of the industry. Now I grew up more of a tomboy than a pretty princess, so I will not wrap the zombies up in pink ribbons and bows. My background is old school horror, so I would love to get into it about the newest, 'extreme gore' horror that has come out recently. I would also love to discuss some of the remakes and homages that have been produced in the last 10 years as well!

And even though you might not be a fan of the films, at least I can hopefully prepare you for the worse if you are made to watch them.
