Bram Stoker's Dracula (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
3.  Bram Stoker's Dracula (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) DVD ~ Francis Ford Coppola
The list author says:
  "Alright so Keanu's acting is iffy, but Gary Oldman as Dracula is both terrifying and sexy at the same time. SEX and VIOLENCE-- the great foundation of vampire stories, take them away, you get Twilight"
CDN$ 13.99   Used & New from: CDN$ 7.49
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (329 customer reviews)

Interview with the Vampire (Widescreen)

Near Dark
5.  Near Dark DVD ~ Adrian Pasdar
The list author says:
  "The antithesis of Twilight -- everything a vamp movie should be -- spooky, atmospheric, and uncomfortably bloody...the director just won an oscar for her film The Hurt Locker"
CDN$ 9.49   Used & New from: CDN$ 4.94
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (58 customer reviews)

Companions of the Night
6.  Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde
The list author says:
  "Again the antithesis of Meyer's vamps -- It may be a YA novel, but it pushed the boundaries when I read it at 13-- greatly crafted characters and a bittersweet ending. Ethan is unapologetically evil."
CDN$ 6.95   Used & New from: CDN$ 0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (122 customer reviews)

Blood & Donuts
7.  Blood & Donuts DVD ~ DVD
The list author says:
  "Great, if you can get a copy. Dark and indie. The Vampire really is just a regular regretful guy...and there's nothing glamourous about being a vamp."
CDN$ 7.99   Used & New from: CDN$ 6.98
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

The Night Inside
8.  The Night Inside by Nancy Baker
The list author says:
  "Hard to find, but worth it and Canadian to boot! Just how I like my vampire tales ...really reallly dark. A little porny at times but what are you gonna do? S'all about the sex and violence."
Used & New from: CDN$ 0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Sunshine
9.  Sunshine by Robin McKinley
The list author says:
  "A Different kind of Vamp novel, but still fantastic. Great Heroine, great characterization, and deliciously unsatisfying in the romantic department."
CDN$ 8.99   Used & New from: CDN$ 0.01
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (109 customer reviews)

Kindred: Embraced
10.  Kindred: Embraced DVD ~ Stacy Haiduk
The list author says:
  "Vampire mobsters? 'nuff said. The usual problem I have with this whole fantastical vampire hierarchy thing doesn't come up for me...the vampire lore retains its mystique!"
Used & New from: CDN$ 64.95
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

The Lost Boys (2-Disc Special Edition)
11.  The Lost Boys (2-Disc Special Edition) DVD ~ Jason Patric
The list author says:
  "80's vampire camp at its best. It's not scary, but its still got its sex and violence...and atmospheric to boot. Soundtrack really gets me going."
CDN$ 14.99   Used & New from: CDN$ 5.94
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (147 customer reviews)

Fright Night (Widescreen/Full Screen)
12.  Fright Night (Widescreen/Full Screen) DVD ~ Chris Sarandon
The list author says:
  "Even cheesier than Lost Boys, but fantastic and awesome. Chris Sarandon makes the vampire grotesque-- horrifyingly attractive and deliciously campy."
CDN$ 11.15   Used & New from: CDN$ 8.48
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (111 customer reviews)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Widescreen)
13.  Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Widescreen) DVD ~ Kristy Swanson
The list author says:
  "Some might recommend the TV series, and sure its okay but it takes itself way too serious and it gets way too fantastical for me. David Arquette floating outside of Luke Perry's window's where its at!"
Used & New from: CDN$ 2.65
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (143 customer reviews)
