Dracula 1931 Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula Helen Chandler as Mina Harker After a harrowing ride through the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe, Renfield enters castle Dracula to finalize the transferral of Carfax Abbey in London to Count Dracula, who is in actuality a vampire. Renfield is drugged by the eerily hypnotic count, and turned into one of his thralls, protecting him during his sea voyage to London. After sucking the blood and turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his attention to her friend Mina Seward, daughter of Dr. Seward who then calls in a specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration of Mina's health. Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina's fiance, John Harker, and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from becoming one of the undead.

[2.5 min 13MB, Music by Me] As anyone who has done a Genre Holiday Project will tell you--wait, I'm the only one--the third movie is the hardest. Once you get over the hump of the third movie, you build up momentum. At least I hope so. I've only done three.
So here it is, just in time for Monster Mardi Gras--it's still Vampire Valentine's Day here on Genre Holiday.
There just aren't (m)any good vampire movies.* If I were forced to pick five that I had to watch, I'd pick three and still not watch them much:
Interview with the Vampire
From Dusk Till Dawn
Vampires
Not that they are great (especially Vampires , which was actually bad), but because I like movies that are funny, and these three have a sense of humor.
In preparation I also watched:
Blade --not bad, but more of a superhero movie despite the vampires.
Dracula (1992) --Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves. They all did accents for the film. Guess who shouldn't have.
Salem's Lot --it's a tv movie from 1979 that's 183 min and based on a Stephen King story. So you might guess that it's cheap, dated, and too long, but with a good story.
Van Helsing : fell asleep, but to be fair, I was kinda monstered out at this point.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) : supposed to be funny, but wasn't. Haven't seen the tv show, but I understand it's totally different.
Honorable mention, although I have yet to see it:
Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi
*at least one person on the message board disagrees, and has listed some alternatives.
