Vampires

One of the latest vampires in the movies was the handsome and charismatic Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire (also starring Brad Pitt). He is in a long line of vampires (the story of vampires seems immortal, doesn't it?) that began with John Polidori's The Vampire but became very famous with Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Stoker's Dracula was made into a movie waaaay back in 1922, about 25 years after the book was published. From Nosferatu to Interview with a Vampire, Dracula has become more and more handsome and less and less ugly. Who will be the next Dracula? It will have to be someone more handsome than Tom Cruise. Do you have any suggestions?

Click here to watch Nosferatu. It's a silent movie with music. Nosferatu is only onscreen about 10 minutes. The whole movie is about 90 minutes long.
