Vampires
at the Movies

Vampires have always been a favorite subject of moviemakers. Even before movies were invented, plays about vampires had appeared on stages almost consistently since the 1820s. Then, more than fifty vampire movies were made before the classic 1931 Bela Lugosi film. Of course, as the number of movies being made increased, the number of vampire movies also increased. During the seventies alone, over 150 vampire flicks were made around the world. Vampire films are still popular and there's no sign that this will change anytime in the near future. So with the vampire's undying popularity in mind, we submit for your approval some posters featuring a few of everyone's favorite bloodsucking nightmares. Enjoy.
