Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping vampire content into the ol’ VCR.
Vampires are one of my favorite creatures within the horrorverse. They’re portrayed as everything from scary to funny to sexy and back again. I also read all of the Twilight books as a teenager, thank you for asking. But I digress.
In honor of the new season of What We Do In The Shadows starting up this week, I want to throw out some of my favorite pieces of vampire content. The interpretation of vampires varies throughout these movies and series, but at the end of the day, they’re all still a bloody good time.
