A Brief History of Horror - Vampires

[@twiggyjali]

"What would you do if a vampire offered you the immortal kiss?" me: have your lawyers call my layers & get it in writing.

[@ΕλληΦεαρινου]

Sounds more like fifty shades of sucking. 😞

[@PatrickPrejusa]

hershey's immortal kiss sounds delicious

[@Chrissykat24]

I think if the vampire is already making that offer he/she is already to close to me to really have choice, they might do it no matter what I say lol

[@John-dj5rf]

Gladly I love to be embraced and made a vampire

[@walterfechter8080]

Flash a cross/crucifix at them and then try to outrun the vampire in the form of a wolf or bat. I don't want to become a vampire that kills mortal humans just so that I could exist in this realm. That doesn't sound "romantic" or "fun" to me. Van Helsing is my hero.

[@VampiraVonGhoulscout]

Only Lovers Left Alive is super underrated as a vampire film.

[@tibaazher2792]

Yeah,I will do everything to see it

[@VampiraVonGhoulscout]

@@tibaazher2792 It's more of an artsy indie movie with depressed rockstar vampires than a horror film. The movie itself is very much about the experience of the film rather than plot, so if possible I would recommend you watch it in a room with surround sound and candles for the best viewing experienc because it's all about the senses. It's quite trippy, particularly the soundtrack. All star cast as well: Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Tom Hiddleston, blinde chick from Alice in Wonderland, Anton Yelchin from Star Trek...it's really cool.

[@76348515]

I always thought there was some truth to vampires because every culture has a version of one.

[@Meggimagine]

I'd say every legend could have a layer of truth, since most of them are found in many civilizations. No just vampires, but Werewolves, ghosts and witches as well. It could be connected to religion, of course, but not just. Most of them are connected to the human's subconscious and inner and fundamental fear of what he can't understand :)

[@annstillwell730]

The Lost Boys still the best vamp movie. The end line was pure genius.

[@stefanlioncourt3553]

Nosferatu was NOT the first vampire film. I hate it when people cite it as the first one. The earliest one is Vampire of the Coast from 1909.

[@FrozenPhreak207]

You mean Vampires of the Coast from 1908. That wasn't a vampire movie (despite the title). According the IMDB, it was a pirate movie.

[@alicesanders7559]

You forgot love at love at first bite

[@celesterowley3893]

Don"t forget the netflix Castlevania cartoon based on the hit videogame series of the same name!! it's my personal favorite rendition of Count Vlad Dracula Tepes as he brings terror to Wallachia. The dynamic between him and his son Alucard as they deal with their grief over the death of Dracula's human wife Lisa Tepes is wonderful and beautifully animated and I NEED SEASON 3

[@BrianMax]

You missed a couple of my favorite films: George A. Romero's 1977 film Martin, about a teenage vampire who goes to live with his elderly cousin in Pittsburgh. 30 days of Night, about a clan of vampires who take over a small town in Alaska to party all winter.

[@little1942]

The TV shows Being Human and Supernatural both had a great vampire mythos that was a favorite for us. Although, neither was purely about vampires, they did an excellent job weaving a great storyline throughout their series.

[@sheilaclemett4353]

Glad you included Dark Shadows in this,but you forgot to mention Dan Curtis' TV film of Dracula with Jack Palance. That was the first to give the count the reincarnation of a long-lost love. Also, there was a BBC 3-parter with Louis Jourdan as Dracula.

[@evileyez504]

glad barnbas collins got some play, i rarely hear people acknowledge him or the show

[@josearturogarza5114]

I agree! Didn't care too much for Tim Burton's Dark Shadows... didn't have same aura.

[@skraea]

@@josearturogarza5114 Tim Burton's Dark Shadows was as poorly written as the 2000's version of The Munsters called Mockingbird Lane. Both got went against the tone of the original series and were mockeries.

[@-belue-6697]

José Arturo Garza...True! And I usually LOVE Tim Burton...I think if he wanted to do Dark Shadows justice...He should of included all aspects of the show, not just one vampire...AND I also LOVE vampires. 🧛‍♂️ 🧛‍♀️ 🏰 ⚰️... The thing I find when Burton does remakes, is that he tends to have AMAZING backstories (that you can like find online or what not)...BUT he never truly puts in the AMAZING backstory (like in Alice In Wonderland)...AND if he did, sooo much more would be interesting and explain ALLOT...ALLOT more dots would be connected...Like, I'm still using the Alice example (what I read online) there was such a unique reason WHY The Mad Hatter was actually mad (mercury poisening from the hat making process and how in those days they put mercury in the hat dyes)...The reason "UNDERLAND" was decimated and apocalyptic (there was a huge war)...The fact that Alice had already visited...There were two books that LEWIS CARROL wrote...The first time Alice goes to Wonderland AND another book that shows her going back...TIM BURTON is very creative...He could of explained more and showed that he was using parts of BOTH books...Kinda more the second book with his own twist. It would of been ten times better... I do LOVE his original work though. It's some beautiful, creative stuff. 😎😎😎

[@dontaylor7315]

An Even More Brief History of Vampires Since the dawn of time - up to the 1990s: Vampires were awesome and terrifying. Into the 21st century: They've been neutered.

[@kylefrank638]

Joking aside, great video; I appreciate the inclusion of real myths from around the world, it's neat to see the different cultural interpretations of a similar concept. West Africa has the Asanbosam, a creature with iron spurs and teeth that pulls people into the trees and drinks their blood. Greek vampires were called Vrykolakas, and unlike the usual appearance of pale skin and dark hair, they were noted for red hair, grey eyes and ruddy skin.

[@lindacoolbaugh962]

I've watched Lindsay's Royal videos, these horror videos are gems!! Glad I found these.

[@drac0nisw0lf]

There was a vamp TV show based off of the pen-and-paper RPG I used to play called Vampire The Masquerade that wasn't on this list. It was then, as a child/preteen I decided that if I ever had the opportunity, I'd definitely become a vampire or werewolf, or another type of supernatural creature if given the chance. Also surprised there were no video game included, like Castlevania since it actually has Dracula in it, but that could probably be another whole vid.

[@tracieivey2397]

That was a great show. I used to play the table top game, but sadly the show suffered from two things; the advertisements for it had it focusing more on the cop angle (C.Thomas Howell's character), and then the lead actor's death in a motorcycle accident. Clancy Brown was underrated as Eddie in it. I bought the dvd set just because it was so great.

[@jadelee6555]

The Swedish film was called, "Let The Right One In" not the American version. You have them flipped

"What would you do if a vampire offered you the immortal kiss?" My answer: it would indeed depends on where I am living, if I live in a place where the sun is always shinning, I would be begging to go a location with little to zero sunlight. When Stephine Meyer wrote the Twilight Saga, she chose one potential location: Forks Washington, yes there was sunlight but the location is, 90% of the time, cloudy with rain or snow. That is one potential location I could see myself living in for the rest of eternity as long as I keep on looking at the weather - I do not want to step out on a sunny day and become an instant barbecue while I frantically try to get myself back into my own house.

[@stephanieh9360]

I always loved Fright Night movies. True Blood and The Vampire Diaries were great TV series. ⚰️🦇

[@dirus3142]

No mention of White Wolf's Vampire the Masquerade RPG in the 90s? It's when Goth was at it's most popular. It took some inspiration from literature such as Ann Rice, Bram Stoker, as well as folklore. With out this RPG movies like Blade, and Underworld would not have the style that they had. It also had a very short lived TV show, and a few PC games. In fact the PC game of the same name is considered one the best written RPGs made for the PC. During the original Dracula's filming their was a parallel Hispanic version being filmed on the same sets. Some consider it better. Also missed My Best Friend is a Vampire, and the show Being Human, Supernatural. I am legend is a movie based on a comic book based on a novel. Lastly A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is an Iranian movie about a vampire. I do find it odd that Holiday sees the controversy in the Twilight relationships but says that Let Me In is "sweet". That story is out right the manipulation into an abusive relationship. Edit: Forgot the D*D campaign adventure Curse of Strad. One of the most popular and enduring campaigns in D*D's history.

When it comes to vampire movies you can't beat the 80's and 90's. In particular the original Fright Night and its underrated sequel, Once Bitten (Jim Carrey's first movie), Lost Boys (and later on, it's sequels), Sleepwalkers (even though these creatures are cat-monsters or werecats they are also energy vampires), Innocent Blood, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Lair Of The White Worm, Bordello Of Blood, John Carpenter's Vampires and The Hunger.

A point of order about Nosferatu - it isn’t just a ripoff, it’s LITERALLY Dracula, but the director couldn’t get the rights from Bram Stoker’s widow, so he just changed the names of the characters (hence, why she sued) making it basically the first instance of someone publishing their fanfic with the serial numbers filed off.

Believe it or not, in Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, Dracula goes out it broad daylight and walks around, acting like a normal person. His powers are weakened and can only be used at night. The whole vampires die from sunlight thing came from the 1922 silent film, Nosferatu, (which was loosely based on the Dracula novel), when they needed a way to kill Count Orlock in an appropriate way for the time period. It couldn't be super gory, so they settled for sunlight.

I would have been willing to forgive Twilight for the "vegetarian" thing (REALLY? THAT was the word they used?) because we had already seen other vampires do it in other media that preceded it like Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Nicholas Knight in the cop show _Forever Knight_ which aired in 1992. Though not the first sympathetic vampire detective in fiction (Hannibal King, a vampire private eye who similarly refused to indulge his blood lust, preceded Nick Knight in the pages of Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula), helped popularize the concept. As such, Nick and Hannibal are direct precursors to other sympathetic vampires who use bottled animal blood. Given that FK was in production as early as '89, it's extremely possible that Joss Whedon picked up that concept and adapted it for Angel. And in fact, FK was one of the first shows to establish the vamps as being super strong and super fast, too, so it seems like Meyer had some love for that show, seeing it in her teenage years like I did (descriptions of Edward and of Nick aren't that dissimilar, really). But I can never forgive the Twilight vamps for throwing ALL the other CENTURIES of vamp lore out the window and just making them into superhuman sparkle fairies. Just...no. Those are not vampires.

[@catalina7224a]
