This made vampires cool. Vampire hunters that work at a comic book store, and a master vampire that runs a VHS rental store...what more do I need to say?

I bear no ill will towards the remake, but this always makes me feel like the product of the 80's that I am. Funny how that transformation scene at the end with Evil turning from a wolf back into a human still effects me.

Pure testosterone! He fucking splits a guy in half! Just thinking about this movie gives me a little wood (mahogany).

So much like Bram Stoker's Dracula, with its excellent cinematography and dialogue. Something I understood as I got older was the blaring sexual nature of this flick. Everyone is attractive and romanticized to the point that all you wanted to do was just look at them.

Despite what people say or think, I fell in love with this movie from the get go. Murphy's charm is what gets you through, and you can obviously see that Craven had fun making this.

Watching this and Full Tilt Boogie (the making-of documentary) really puts into perspective how great a movie this is. Grit without sacrificing style. Funny dialogue without sounding too cheesy or schlocky.

It can be more than just blood and guts horror. I still say that this is the first great comic book movie.

The most relevant that Dennis Miller has ever been to me. If Interview With The Vampire touched any homoerotic buttons, this goes waaaayyyy over to the other side of the spectrum.
