Top 15 BEST 1980s Vampire Movies!

[@tomcon21]

Fright Night is the gold standard in every way! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos; I really enjoy them

[@cobwebschannel]

Awesome, I’m so glad you’re enjoying!

[@bodimibiash8888]

I agree, Fright Night is great, it’s entertaining and engaging, love the characters. I’m trying to get my children (10-16 y) excited about horrorfilms… My son really enjoyed Fright Night and It (90s version) Next up Friday 13th. 🎃

[@Triboro_Gigolo]

Fright night and the lost boys were everything for my childhood during the 80's!

[@erinmaggio5620]

I agree with you.

[@1012rosemusic]

Fright Night is my all time favorite vampire movie. It's funny, cool, not too violent, and it's just an overall movie to watch on repeat. Love it!

[@cobwebschannel]

The best!!

[@shaynewilliams8204]

Watched fright night yesterday the Colin farrel version then the original straight after awesome movie's both of them.

[@rubyjreads7503]

Chris Sarandon was very attractive vampire. 🙂🙂

[@ALionInTheWinter]

I love Fright Night but Lost Boys will always be #1 in my book with Fright Night coming in 2nd.

[@kevingallagher188]

Lost boys has elements of The Karate kid as the new kid who has to deal with the local bad boys

[@cherrysooks8461]

Believe or not we have 'Fright Night' on right now. That and 'The Lost Boys' are priceless and I love them both.

[@Katia_Targaryen]

It's impressive to see how vampire films and the comedy genre were so linked in the 80s. This list is excellent. I loved. 💜🖤💜🖤 For me, Near Dark would be #1 if it had a better ending. I love how the vampires in this film have so much personality and originality.

[@cobwebschannel]

Hi, thank you! Near Dark really is an all-timer, and would be that much better if it ended differently.

[@alienmindwarp3455]

​@cobwebschannel I think the movie ended the only way it could, especially for the time it was made. Vampires aren't the good guys, no matter how cool they might be. Our protagonist escaped his excursion into a disparate vampire clan that had a family dynamic, but he needed to get back to his own family and to the land of the living. Was he supposed to live happily ever after with his new vampire family and spawn sequels or what is it that you imagine as a better or more appropriate ending? 🤔

[@daniellewillis2767]

THANK YOU for understanding how much the end of Near Dark screws up an otherwise perfect movie. I thought the vampires should have escaped the hotel room and the little boy vampire should have been allowed to keep the sister. The protagonist should have had to kill his own father to save his gf and finally be fully accepted into the clan...the blood transfusion bs pissed me off.

[@Katia_Targaryen]

@@daniellewillis2767 The transfusion was really disconcerting. The way you said it would be better. ^^

[@daniellewillis2767]

@alienmindwarp3455 Yes. I believe I said that would be better

[@scbear82]

My Best Friend is a Vampire? This is a great list by the way. Fright Night is my favorite too. And I also like Fright Night Part II. I have an awesome Fright Night t-shirt myself and I'm going to get to meet Tommy Lee Wallace at the Creature Feature Weekend convention I go to every year in Gettysburg, PA. I just had one little thing about this video. The Carradine that was in Sundown was David Carradine. John Carradine's son. Didn't know if you'd caught that already. Great video nonetheless.

[@seanswinton6242]

I was trying to remember that one! "My Best Friend's A Vampire" was great, too. Although I'm a bigger fan of "Once Bitten" and "Vamp."

[@nixsis5281]

Thank God I wasn't the only one that noticed that. The second I saw Once Bitten on the list, the first thing I thought was My Best Friend's a Vampire.

[@juliadawn9591]

I consider Fright Night 2 to be one of the best sequels of all time. In terms of visuals, practical effects, cinematography, and costuming, this movie is timeless. Julie Carmen is perfection as Jerry Dandridge's sister. The supporting cast is awesome and Charlie and Peter Vincent don't miss a step in reprising their roles.Charlie's chemistry with Alex is way more convinvincing than with Amy. I get your point about Charlie's amnesia, but that's just a comment on 80's psychoanalysis. I wish you had seen this movie sooner. I saw it as a kid. It had a very short theatrical release and I saw it a few years later on VHS. Nowadays, it's hard to get your hands on. I still have that original VHS. To this day, I always watch both movies back to back on Halloween weekend.

[@ginsin1234]

Great choice on the number one. Fright Night is one of the movies I have seen the most in my life. For real.

[@kevingallagher188]

The original Fright night and it's sequel are a must watch as a pair. The second movies start as Charlie has been brainwashed to believe vampires don't exist reminds me of the nightmare on elm Street series.

[@ginsin1234]

@@kevingallagher188 yeah, I agree Fright Night 2 is a must watch after the original, it goes hand in hand.

[@JamiJR]

The scene that will always stick out to me with Near Dark is when the vampire who was turned as a child meets the little sister of the hero. The way you can tell he's looking at this little girl with a combo of lust and longing for someone who matches him physically because he's lonely seeing how he's stuck in the body of a child - is scary and sad at the same time.

[@1jotun136]

I'll never get over the honky tonk slaughter. The use of the boot spurs to slit a throat was .. horrifying

[@cobwebschannel]

A haunting character. And I think the concept was expanded upon even more with Kirsten Dunst in the next decade.

[@alienmindwarp3455]

It sucks to be a vampire! ...and to have vampires in our midst, and I'm glad the transfusion worked.

[@janeenharrison1953]

Not dated at all...I watched the Lost Boys a couple of days ago and it's still one of the coolest vampire movies! I hate kid actors but I 100% agree with you the cast is just phenomenal - and the special effects (like the blood exploding in the bathroom) sooo over the top but sooo 80s! BTW, Fright Night my #1 too. My brother is also named Eddie and he loooves imitating Evil Ed, "...there's dinner in the oven."

[@stacypappas9677]

😂😂😂 classic line 👍

[@doriangraye1971]

I would put in my vote for Love At First Bite 🧛

[@AWCMCultMovies]

A fun movie, but 1979, so not Eighties. I loved it, though, especially Laugh-In's Arte Johnson as Renfield.

[@jameshughes6049]

Such a great movie!!

[@seanswinton6242]

Yes, Mr. Hamilton was one of the smoothest vampires ever. I liked him, the one from Fright Night, and Frank Langella from "Dracula" Honorable mention is William Marshall from the 1970's Blacula films.

[@mariasabstractart9203]

OMG yes!!!

[@jada8047]

That was my first vampire film

[@romaina9464]

I was in high school when Fright Night came out (saw it in the theatre). Not only is it my favorite vampire movie, it's one of my favorite movies period! I had it on VHS (now I've got a copy on my computer) and I've seen it SO MANY TIMES!!! One of the BEST parts is Amy's "full vampire face" reveal...scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it and i still think it's one of the most unique and terrifying vamp faces I've ever seen. Thanks for the video, by the way! I've liked and subscribed and am excited to see more of your stuff...=')

[@iamnottim.]

Great list Daniel, thanks for sharing. Your love for Fright Night fills my heart - I love, love, love Fright Night.

[@cobwebschannel]

It’s the best!

[@eldiablov2]

Fright night is amazing. Steven Jeffries has confirmed that Evil Ed was in the closet, struggling with his sexuality, and had feelings for Charley, and it is heavily implied that Jerry is bisexual and in an open relationship with Billy Cole. Knowing that, the scene where Jerry finds Ed in the alley and tells him that he knows what it is like to be different takes on a whole new meaning

[@micheland3036]

Thank you for picking Fright Night as your #1 all time favorite vampire movie/movie of all time. It has long since been mine. I was lucky enough to meet the cast (Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, and Stephen Geoffreys) ,when I went to a convention in Pittsburgh, back in 2016. I had a chance to get their autographs and take a group picture. I enjoyed the Q&A and listening to their stories on the making of this classic. Fun times!!😃

[@jim634]

You're spot on with your top two. Fright Night is easily the best vampire film ever made, and also my second favourite movie full stop. I do rate Fright Night 2 a lot higher on my own list though - it's not as good as the first, but it goes even deeper into traditional vamp lore which is impressive and overall it's just wonderful. For me, its FN, TLB, FN2, ND, TMS.

[@jada8047]

I feel lost Boys was better

[@CJG1419]

Love Fright Night and The Lost Boys. Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowell we’re fantastic! I always think about Chris running his fingernail along the banister slicing off the wood when I think about Fright Night.

[@VonWenk]

I think about Jerry Dandrige's entrance, coming down the stairs in the red scarf. Jerry Dandrige, GQ vampire.

[@NeoGeo64]

My tutor actually recommended me that movie and I listened to that one song from the movie every night when I was thinking about a video game I plan in making

[@robwasilewski9273]

The lost boys is in my top 10 movies of all time.

[@Old_Scot]

I saw Lifeforce in the cinema when it was released in the 1980s. It wasn't great, but when it came to the crowd scene with all the zombie/vampires, the entire hall burst out laughing. In fact, some people sang a few lines of "Thriller". It's been astonishing for me in the past couple of years to realise that it's considered a classic horror film. I'm delighted you mention The Hunger. I read Interview With A Vampire and The Hunger very close together in the early 80s. And then I saw the movie The Hunger. These are not your sparkly vampires! But so sexy and stylish. I'm surprised it isn't more feted by horror lovers. Perhaps it just isn't gory enough for modern tastes? I can't agree with you that The Lost Boys is successful BECAUSE it's so 80s. What else would it be? It's successful, IMO because it has reached through the decades beyond that. Good to see Vamp on your list, as well as Near Dark, though. And you've given me a few to look out for. :)

[@hunterrobinson2846]

Great list! I'm so glad you think Vampire's Kiss is a "good movie". I hosted a movie night years ago and a lot of my friends came over to watch it. Everyone starting trashing the movie and it drove me nuts. Totally agree that it's a precursor to American Psycho. I don't know why people don't mention the screenwriter also wrote After Hours. I feel like that should be mentioned more when fans defend the movie. I'm also a huge fan of Near Dark. That bar scene is so good and Paxton's line, "finger lickin' good", is one of the best improv lines ever.

[@cobwebschannel]

I didn’t actually know it’s the same writer as After Hours, and honestly, it makes so much sense.

[@Old_Scot]

At the time Vampire's Kiss came out, it was definitely regarded as a fable about 80s corporate life as much as a horror film. It's a shame if that part isn't appreciated by younger film fans. Of course, in those days, Nicolas Cage was regarded as an actor, rather than a larger than life personality!

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

Nothing personal, but I think is bs when bad, nonsensical movies suddenly gets an aura of respect only because "oh, it supposed to be a social critique" or something. Even though American Psycho is quite ambiguous, it knows exactly what it's doing. Cage's bat shit crazy performance is legendary, though. "Bat shit", get it?

[@annag8613]

Fright Night is so good. One of my all time favourites. I used to have the computer theme (when it was possible to do cool stuff like that)so when I closed down the computer it let out that awful groan from Vampire Jerry when he was on the roof. I shat myself as I always forgot it was coming! Yay, Near Dark is also an exceptional movie. One of Bigelow's best and a fav trio of actors in Henriksen, Goldstein and Paxton. So different with that effortless cool so many of the 80's movies had. Sort of genius. So glad you included Vamp. This movie is never mentioned. Grace Jones is a legend. Vampire's Kiss - brilliant and dark. Also never talked about but a fav. Loved The Hunger. Very cool and quiet. And yay Lost Boys - an absolute classic. I did laugh at the inclusion of Return to Salem's Lot. I remember when it was first released I was so devastated that it was not like Salem's Lot (omg the trauma of that. I have to turn the cover of the DVD so I can't see the Master - fucking terrifying!)

[@MichaelJGrady-lz4in]

You killed this list. It did everything I want these lists to do: It gave me your take on movies I know, provided me with new recommendations to look into, and caused me to reconsider a few movies I had dismissed. Fright Night is one of my favorite movies and for many of the reasons you mentioned (though for my money, I would have gushed a bit more about Roddy McDowall's performance.) Looking forward to your next list!

[@cobwebschannel]

Really appreciate the kind words, thank you!

[@seanswinton6242]

Frank Langella's "Dracula" was great, too! I think it was released in 1980, I could be wrong. He was a favorite vampire before the one in "Fright Night

[@ALionInTheWinter]

I felt that Frank Langella’s Dracula was the smoothest Dracula ever.

[@PsiFi72]

IMDB has it as 1979, but that is an awesome movie.

[@orinanime]

1979. My favorite version of Dracula.

[@shaynewilliams8204]

Frank langella version is good but you never ever see his fangs a vampire without fangs kinda defeats the point no punn intended lol.

[@JohnDavis-cw6yv]

Fright Night is one of my favorite films of all time!! Everything about this film is amazing! The music, the costumes, the special effects, the acting, etc!! Roddy McDowall is great as Peter Vincent! The film doesn't work without him. The sequel wasn't that bad, there were some good things about it, but it doesn't compare to the first film Roddy wanted to do a third film, because he loved the character and thought they could do better. Unfortunately, he passed away. The re-make wasn't bad. It was a different type of film, but it still paid homage to The original. Love the channel, keep up the great work!!

[@cobwebschannel]

Hey, thank you! Glad to know you’re also such a fan!

[@WaverBoy]

Excellent and pretty unassailable list of vampire films from my fave decade, what with me turning twelve in 1980. I’m so glad you rated Lifeforce and Fright Night so highly. Those two are tied at #1 for me. I got to meet Chris Sarandon at Emerald City Comic Con a few years ago and he signed a print of a painting of Jerry Dandridge for me. I told him that Fright Night was the best vampire film of the ‘80s, and he said he had to agree with me. He was one hell of a nice and approachable guy. Thanks for the video! 🙏🏻

[@andygorham6904]

Another great episode!!! Love seeing Monster Squad making the list and your placing given when you saw it makes sense!!

[@cobwebschannel]

haha Thank you for understanding, my man!

[@BaileeWalsh]

hmmm, interesting, for some reason I never thought of The Liar of the White Worm as a vampire movie because of how different the 'monster' is and character design is. My list of best 80s vampire movies would be: The Hunger (1983), The Lost Boys (1987), Fright Night (1985), and that's all I've got so far. Need to see more, I guess. I've added Night of the Werewolf to my watchlist now! I haven't seen your other vampire movie rankings, so I definitely have to check those out!

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

Such a Great List, the Mr. Vampire movies and their sequels are a lot of fun... it's interesting to see movies I wouldn't add to a "Vampire Movie" list on here. I would have never thought about Lair of the White Worm, like Vampire's Kiss it's so hard to place them anywhere but in with the vampires! And I don't think it's right to grade Monster Squad solely on the presence of Dracula... Duncan Regehr, by the way, is probably gives my favourite performance of Dracula outside of his own story. But I totally get how you ranked them, and why. Wonderful List and Fabulous Video as always, thank you for your hard work!

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

Until I read the book, Fright Night Origins, I thought Jerry WAS Dracula.

[@mickyworley679]

I could not agree more about your number one and two. That is exactly how I rank those as well. The Lost Boys is amazing, but you cannot beat Fright Night! Jerry Dandrige=Smoking hot!

[@johnwalsh4857]

this is my best vampire 80s list: The Hunger, Fright Night, Nightmare City(mutant vampires), Fright night 2, Vamp, Lair of the white worm, Vampire's Kiss, Near Dark, Life force(Alien vampires), Graveyard shift, Lost Boys, Dance of the damned

[@orinanime]

Trivia/info on Fright Night Part 2: The henchman you thought was a werewolf, Louie played by John Gries, is actually a vampire. There's been confusion amongst viewers for years. But vampires are also shapeshifters and can assume wolf forms, as you mentioned. Much like Coppola's Dracula, this one takes a wolfman/werewolf looking form. His face in wolf form is very bat-like. But the biggest clue is his weakness to Roses and being killed by getting pierced through the heart.

[@eddieboyky]

I love so much that you can also appreciate the fun side of vampire movies as well. Great list.

[@jimmydale7207]

I’ve recently discovered this channel and love your lists. Near Dark is easily my favorite 80s vampire movie.

[@AWCMCultMovies]

Great list, and I think a lot of these movies are even better because of memorable supporting turns, like Stephen Geoffreys in Fright Night, Cleavon Little in Once Bitten, and even -- problematic as his character is now -- Gedde Watanabe in Vamp.

It made me so happy that Once Bitten got some love

What an awesome list. I have to admit I would not have been able to choose between Fright Night & The Lost Boys as my #1 because The Lost Boys was the movie that launched my vampire obsession, but Fright Night is so, so, so good. Cannot believe you have Once Bitten above Fright Night II though - I can sit and watch Fright Night and Fright Night II back to back. So nice to see Lifeforce and Sundown on your list too, and Lair of the White Worm. Only pick I very much disagree with is Vampires Kiss, because I loathe that movie. It was such a disappointment the first time I watched it that I have refused to ever see it again 😜. This is the first of your vids I have seen pop up on my dash, so I shall now go check out your others. Thanks for a fun watch.

[@r.j.amadeus9128]

Great list, Pretty close to my 80’s vampire list. Fright Night is hands down number one, it is truly perfection, Lost Boys definitely Number 2, but I would place Near Dark at number 3. I actually grew up on Hong Kong Films so Mr. Vampire has always been a favorite. I appreciate Lifeforce so much more now as an adult, I own the Arrow Video UK 🇬🇧 version on BD. I need the 4k version. Surprisingly I would have not included Vampire’s kiss, because I always felt it stands on its own because of its unique nature. Once bitten holds a special place in my heart growing up, so I would place it a few numbers higher. I also would include Vampire vs Vampire 1989 another Hong Kong vampire film with Lam Ching-Ying.

[@georgeloveday9674]

A great list! Many good ones are missing but there were so many great ones.

[@Jakethehitman73]

Great list! I get your reaction to Monster Squad but I feel like kids of that era like myself were very also familiar with the Universal flicks - they aired on TV a LOT back then. The 1970's had seen a huge resurgence of classic monsters in every medium. So Monster Squad, to 12 year old me, felt like an update of, say, Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein more than anything. And seeing those black and white monsters brought to life in vivid color with modern FX was EPIC for the time. I also feel like Regher's brutal Drac was a reaction against the romantic Dracula that had popped up everywhere since the late 70's. But Drac is a fairly standard villain in Monster Squad, despite his great bat transformations.

[@StoneKendricks]

Thank you for showing "Vampire's Kiss" the love it deserves. It's a great movie. It might be regarded by some today as a bad vampire movie with an early example of Nic Cage's extreme acting style, but in the 80s this was considered a gem of an indie film with some clever satire and critiques. In the scene where Nic Cage eats a cockroach, he is really eating a live cockroach and it was even Nic's suggestion to the director that they do the scene using an actual live cockroach.

[@PREPFORIT]

The Late Great Billy Drago ( Untouchables Frank Nitti) Was cool as "Snow" in VAMP ! Lifeforce is an awesome Movie People were not ready for it it was ahead of its time.

I was hoping Fright Night was number one. That film has such a vibe. I was 8 years old when it was released, and didn't watch it until about 1990. I remember clearly sitting on a small chair in the middle of my bedroom in the dark, inches from my second hand 9 inch black and white tv. My tv had just given up the ghost, so my Dad picked that up for me as a stop gap. I loved that tv though, with a radio style tuning knob on the side, and piece of wire for an aerial. Even on that small black and white screen, Fright Night was brilliant. I still watch it to this day, obviously on blu-ray now, but it's still probably my favourite vampire film. 😎👍

My top two are the same but I'd flip them. Probably as I saw The Lost Boys when it came out & loved it for all the reasons you said but I didn't see Fright Night til much later. Good to see Vamp in there & I totally agree about Near Dark's ending.

Laura Hutton accent is what makes that roll work . I interviewed the guy who played Russ and the Confederate spider vampire and the dance instructor for the film

The Hunger has one of the greatest musical scenes, not in a musical. Bauhaus playing Bela Legosi's Dead in a vampire flick

I watched Fright Night for the first time last night and I just have to say....wow. I can't believe it took me that long to see it. Chris Sarandon is amazing, holy shit. That club scene....just wow. Incredible movie, I loved it.

I am glad that the original ending of Fright Night 1 was changed. I did not want Peter to be a vampire at the end. The bowling scene of Fright Night 2 was epic.

Fully agree!

good list. Good to see Vamp, Lair of the White Worm and Fright Night Part 2. I would add a few titles: Graveyard Shift I, Desire also Graveyard Shift II which has its moments, but also the sequence of events/plot gets a little hard to follow at 1 point. You're unsure if things are real, or it's a dream sequence. But if you've never seen either of the Graveyard Shift movies with Silvio Oliviero (aka Michael A Miranda), I would recommend them. They used this very unconventional system with the vampire and sort of being psychically connected to their lovers. I always found it fascinating.

I had the Fright Night poster on my wall when I was a teenager. Awesome movie.

Let’s not forget that among its other winning qualities, Fright Night is a riff on Hitchcock’s Rear Window.

Totally agree with nr. 1. I've always been a fan of Fright Night, since it's release (I'm getting old..🤔). Perfect mix of horror & comedy, with enough suspense, a cool cast and awesome special/gore effects. Next to 'From Dusk Till Dawn' my favourite vampire movie. 😎👍

Thank You there where some in there that i should re watch ;

[@chippy69]

Since you added Mr vampire 🧛‍♂️ you get a like and share from me, and the great list of lost boys and fright night are definitely in the right place. 80s, greatest vampire films 👍

Do you cover Nadja somewhere? I love that film. It’s odd, but so interesting . Plus Nadja is so stylish.

[@sharonellis8776]

Yes, I love Fright Night, Lost Boys, Near Dark. Have seen the FN sequel as well xx

[@angelisela]

I would have a very hard time picking between your top 2, they are my top 2 as well❤

I saw Monster Squad for the first time as an adult but I saw it with my daughter who was very young at the time and it stuck with her and we still watch it together so it’s special to me.

[@cobwebschannel]

That’s a great story.
