#10 Mad Monster Party
Baron Von Frankenstein has decided to retire as head of the Worldwide Organization of Monsters. He sends out invitations to a host of monsters to attend a party where he will name his successor—but who among them will be the new head of the monsters?
The guest list includes the likes of Frankenstein’s Monster, Count Dracula, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and non-legally actionable variations on the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. (There’s also a surprise attendee at the end—but I won’t spoil it here.) The film is a little slow, but worth checking out for the caricatures of these classic monsters.
The 1967 monster comedy film Mad Monster Party? features stop-motion animation from Rankin/Bass Productions, the team that made Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, as well as other holiday specials. Mad Monster Party? starred Boris Karloff as as the voice of Baron Boris von Frankenstein, Alan Swift as Felix Flanken—as well as all the monsters and several supporting characters, Gale Garnett as Francesca, and Phyllis Diller as The Monster’s Mate.
Mad Magazine creator Harvey Kurtzman co-wrote the script with writer Len Korobkin, and Mad artist Jack Davis designed many of the characters. The film was directed by Jules Bass. The fabulous title song was performed by Ethel Ennis.

#9 Blood Relatives
A vampire’s loner lifestyle is thrown into disarray when a teenager shows up claiming to be his daughter, and she’s got the fangs to prove it. On a road trip across America’s blacktops, they decide how to sink their teeth into family life.
“Becoming a parent changes absolutely everything, especially when unplanned,” noted Bloody Disgusting in a review. “Blood Relatives sees a nomad’s life gets upended by the arrival of a daughter he never knew he had, causing a seismic shift in his isolated bachelor lifestyle. The twist here is that the central character is a bloodsucking vampire whose inner mensch gets brought to the surface by his new teen daughter. Writer/Director Noah Segan’s feature debut brings a charming soft touch to the vampire tale, favoring dad jokes and affecting bonds over savage bloodletting. As an utterly sweet love letter from a new dad to his kids, Blood Relatives goes for the jugular of an infectious and charming horror comedy.”—‘Blood Relatives’ Review – Noah Segan’s Vampire Comedy Sinks Fangs into Charming Family Drama (Bloody Disgusting)
Blood Relatives is set to be released through the Shudder streaming service November 22, 2022.

#8 Monster Squad
You know who to call when you have ghosts—but who do you call when you have monsters? The Monster Squad, a group of young kids devoted to protecting their suburban neighborhood from monsters and ghouls. Count Dracula escapes Van Helsing and waits for modern day Earth, accompanied by Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Black Lagoon’s Gill-man. The ghouls are in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them power to rule the world. Standing in their way…The Monster Squad!
The 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad is like across between a Spielbergian summer family movie and a Universal Monsters rally. A kids club obsessed with movie monsters discovers there are real monsters in town—including Count Dracula, the Frankenstein’s Monster, the mummy, the wolf man, and the gill-man. One day out of every century, the forces of good and evil reach a balance, and the kids have to save the world from Dracula. What’s remarkable is that the film is funny, charming—and takes the monsters completely seriously. This is such a good movie.
The Monster Squad starred Andre Gower, Robby Kiger, Stephen Macht, Duncan Regehr, Tom Noonan, Brent Chalem, Ryan Lambert, Ashley Bank, Michael Faustino, Jonathan Gries, Mary Ellen Trainor, Leonardo Cimino, Stan Shaw, Lisa Fuller, Carl Thibault, Tom Woodruff Jr., Michael Reid MacKay, Jack Gwillim, and more. The movie was directed by Fred Dekker, and written by Dekker and Shane Black.
On its initial release, The Monster Squad did poorly at the box office and got mixed reviews. Over the years since then, fans have realized what a great movie it is and it has become a cult classic.

#7 Hotel Transylvania
A charming re-imagining of the Universal Monsters, Hotel Transylvania finds famed vampire Count Dracula as the owner of a monster’s-only hotel where they can take a stay clear of the humans that hate them. When the hotel is unexpectedly visited by a lost human traveler, Dracula attempts to prevent his daughter from falling in love with him before the hotel’s guests learn a human is in the hotel.
The start of a film series and spin-off TV show, 2012’s Hotel Transylvania was the directorial debut of Genndy Tartakovsky, who’d made a name for himself as creator of animated television series Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and Star Wars: Clone Wars, and for his work on The Powerpuff Girls.
The series starts with Dracula and his daughter, Mavis, and over time the family grows to include Mavis’ husband, Johnny, and their son, Dennis. Also part of the family is Lydia Dracula, who is Dracula’s sister and Mavis’ aunt. She’s a regular part of Hotel Transylvania: The Series.
Throughout the series we also spend time with Dracula’s close-knit group of friends, which includes Frankenstein’s monster, a werewolf, a mummy, and an invisible man, among others. Their children are part of Hotel Transylvania: The Series.

#6 Fright Night
Meet the man next door. He’s sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he’s the perfect neighbor. But before inviting him in for a nightcap, there’s just one thing you should know—he prefers his drinks warm, red and straight from the jugular! It’s Fright Night, a horrific howl featuring a seductive vampire and the frantic teen struggling to keep the vampire’s fangs out of his neck. When the teen can’t get anybody to believe him, he turns to a famed expert on hunting vampires—who, it turns out, didn’t realize all this stuff was real. The supernatural horror comedy movie Fright Night has the distinction of being made twice—in 1985 and again in 2011.
Fright Night 1985
The 1985 vampire comedy film Fright Night starred Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Roddy McDowall, Amanda Bearse, Jonathan Stark, Dorothy Fielding, Stephen Geoffreys, and Art Evans. The film was written and directed by Tom Holland and produced by Herb Jaffe. In this version, the “famed expert on hunting vampires” was played by Planet of the Apes star McDowall as TV horror movie host Peter Vincent.
While writing the script for another film, Holland got the idea of a horror-movie fan becoming convinced his next-door neighbor was a vampire. But the script became stalled when the writer couldn’t figure out how the teen would convince anyone about the vampire.
Finally, Holland was discussing the idea with someone at the studio, who suggested that the teen would go to someone like “Vincent Price.” At the time, lots of TV stations had shows where horror hosts showed those movies, so Holland decided it would make sense for the teen to ask his local horror host for help. “The minute I had Peter Vincent, I had the story,” Holland said. “[The horror fan] was the engine, but Peter Vincent was the heart.”

“Well, what I did is I, inadvertently with no forethought, mixed horror and comedy,” Holland told SYFY in the interview Tom Holland is 31,000 Words Into Fright Night 2: Resurrection and Yes, Evil Ed is Back. “But that’s because the concept of the movie was delightful… it was a giggle. I mean, who’s going to believe you when you say the next door neighbor is a vampire, especially when you’re a horror movie fan? I mean, it’s a funny situation. And I found the humor in it before I got to the horror and the effects.”
Fright Night 2011
The 2011 remake of Fright Night starred Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and David Tennant. The film was directed by Craig Gillespie, and produced by Michael De Luca and Alison Rosenzweig. The original film’s screenplay was adapted by Marti Noxon. In the remake, the “famed expert on hunting vampires” was played by Doctor Who star Tennant as Las Vegas magician Peter Vincent.
Actor Colin Farrell is usually against doing remakes—but in this case, it was a remake of something that he knew was loved and held in such high nostalgic esteem. “When I saw it for the first time, when I was 10 or 11 or 12, I loved it. I’ve seen it anywhere between 10 and 20 times,” he told Collider in the article Colin Farrell and Director Craig Gillespie Talk FRIGHT NIGHT, Working with Chris Sarandon, Making the Remake, and More. “And then, I read the script and, from page one until the end, it was just a really fun read. I was looking to do something that a little bit lighter than the dramatic films that I’d done. I knew I was being thought of for Jerry, so when I read it, I was like, ‘God, it’s so much fun.’ And, I knew Craig [Gillespie] was directing it, and I’d seen Lars and the Real Girl, so I thought he was a really cool choice for this film. It all fell on who the director was. It was dangerous to visit this material. I loved the original. I do hope those who liked the original, like this film. I really do.”
Fright Night novel trilogy
The director and writer of the original version of Fright Night, Tom Holland, is now revisiting the story with a planned trilogy of novels. The first book is the recently released Fright Night: Origins…
You think you know the whole story, don’t you?
High school isn’t going well for teenage horror fan Charley Brewster, still dealing with the loss of his father, he finds himself in his first serious relationship with the vibrant and beautiful Amy Peterson. If new love wasn't complicated enough Charley is also failing Trigonometry. Late one night while cramming for a test Charley spies something suspicious in the yard next door, two men carrying what appears.to be a coffin. What's going on in the old Victorian House and who are Charley's new neighbors?
Tom Holland returns to the world of Fright Night along with A. Jack Ulrich to lay the groundwork for a brand new trilogy!
“A couple years ago I sat down to write a novel of my original story Fright Night,” Holland said in the press release. “But as I came close to finishing, I realized I had so much more to tell. There were elements I was not able to convey in the original film because of time constraints, and I was compelled to take us back to the origins of Fright Night and beyond.”
Holland says he’s written something that he truly hopes that fans of Fright Night will love, as he plans to take the Fright Night universe far beyond the story the films have told. “This story and the characters are deeply personal to me, and I hope the fans have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Fright Night forever!”

#5 Only Lovers Left Alive
The tale of two fragile and sensitive vampires, Adam and Eve, who have been lovers for centuries. Both are cultured intellectuals with an all-embracing passion for music, literature and science, who have evolved to a level where they no longer kill for sustenance, but still retain their innate wildness. Their love story has endured several centuries, but their debauched idyll is threatened by the uninvited arrival of Eve’s carefree little sister—who hasn’t yet learned to tame her wilder instincts.
Driven by sensual photography, trance-like music, and droll humor, the 2013 fantasy comedy-drama film Only Lovers Left Alive starred Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, Jeffrey Wright, Slimane Dazi, and John Hurt. The film was written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, who spent years raising money for the project. At the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, he shared that “It’s getting more and more difficult for films that are a little unusual, or not predictable, or don’t satisfy people’s expectations of something.”
In an interview with IndieWire, director Jarmusch explained that he really appreciated vampire films that are “less conventional” than regular ones. “Starting with Vampyr by Carl Dreyer in the ‘30s, and many, many interesting films—Shadow of the Vampire with Willem Dafoe, then in the ‘80s The Hunger with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. I liked George Romero’s film Martin a lot, Katheryn Bigelow’s film Near Dark, Abel Ferrara’s The Addiction, Clair Denis’ Trouble Every Day, Polanski’s Fearless Vampire Killers. I loved Let The Right One In—that was from like five, six years ago, beautiful. That’s a good list of films,” he said in the article Interview: Jim Jarmusch Talks The Vampiric Charms Of ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ & Proposing To Muse Tilda Swinton. “I’ve always loved all of those films, that type of approach. Rather than the sort of more obvious one and I wanted to make a love story for quite a long time. It’s had different variances to it, but somehow it got merged maybe eight years ago into my vampire film. So, I wanted to make a love story that involved vampires.”
Only Lovers Left Alive has been ranked among the BBC’s 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century. The film was also considered the fourth greatest film of the 2010s by The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy.

#4 Lost Boys
A recently divorced mom and her teenaged sons move to a small California town—where the older brother is befriended by a gang of vampires. Can the younger brother and some local vamp-slayers help before it’s too late?
The 1987 horror comedy film Lost Boys starred Dianne Wiest, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Edward Herrmann, Billy Wirth, Brooke McCarter, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher, produced by Harvey Bernhard, with a screenplay written by Jeffrey Boam, Janice Fischer, and James Jeremias, from a story by Fischer and Jeremias.
The title of the movie refers to the characters from J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan stories, who—just like vampires—also never grow old. Originally, the characters were intended to be younger children, but once Schumacher became the director, he upgraded the characters to make them sexier and more adult.
In a group interview, actor Alex Winter said that Lost Boys is the most successful interpretation of all the things director Joel Schumacher did well—fashion, music, understanding actors and story and style, as well as homoeroticism, sexual ambiguity, and sexual adventurousness. “So few people really had a forward vision,” Winter said in the Entertainment Weekly article The Lost Boys, 35 years later: ‘Everything was still firing on all cylinders…’. “I just think [Joel] swung for the fences, and he connected, you know? It’s not The Godfather, but in terms of how it works, it’s very satisfying.”
In the same interview, actor Corey Feldman pointed out, “The story is rooted in family. A lot of people don’t realize that, but that was something that Joel was always very cognizant of. And I think that is something that really hits home and makes it feel naturalistic. It’s not just a science-fiction movie, it’s not just a vampire movie. It’s got that true, virtuous piece of it.”
By presenting the vampires as sexy and young, Lost Boys impacted pop culture’s view of vampires. The original film was followed by the comic book mini-series Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs, the straight-to-home video movie sequels Lost Boys: The Tribe and Lost Boys: The Thirst, and a comic book miniseries simply titled Lost Boys.
The video playlist below includes the Lost Boys movie trailer, several clips from the film, pus a video where the folks at GoodBadFlicks looks at the unusual history of the film.

#3 Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein
In this beloved crossover film, the duo actually meets up with three of Universal’s most famous monsters—Frankenstein’s monster, Count Dracula, and the Wolf Man. Even more amazingly, the monsters were played by the official actors: Frankenstein’s monster was portrayed by Glenn Strange, who previously appeared as the creature in 1944’s House of Frankenstein and 1945’s House of Dracula; the vampire Count Dracula was played by Bela Lugosi, who had portrayed the count onstage in 1927, as well as in 1931’s film Dracula; and the Wolf Man, portrayed by Lon Chaney Jr., who had played the character in 1941’s The Wolf Man, plus its sequels.
In Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, directed by Charles Barton, Count Dracula plans to revive Frankenstein’s monster with a “pliable” brain to keep the monster under his control. Dracula decides that the best choice for the brain belongs to Lou Costello’s character. By the film’s end, we see monsters trashing the laboratory, the Wolf Man fighting Dracula, and the Monster chasing down the comedy duo.
The U.S. Library of Congress selected this film for preservation in the National Film Registry. The film also ranked at number 56 on American Film Institute’s “100 Funniest American Movies.”
This was the final film in all three monsters’ original series for Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man. All three characters were revived in projects in the decades since.

#2 Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel
Yes, we gave the original film a higher ranking so we could also talk abut the TV show. The original film Buffy the Vampire Slayer followed a Valley Girl cheerleader named Buffy who learns that her fate is to hunt vampires. The 1992 horror comedy film starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, and David Arquette. The film, directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui, was a moderate success—but failed to capture the vibe of the original screenplay.
Five years later, the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) reintroduced the vampire slayer in a much stronger—and darker, yet at times hilarious—vision of the original drama. Sarah Michelle Gellar starred as Buffy Summers, the latest in a line of young women who are chosen by fate to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Buffy wants a normal life, but over time learns to embrace her destiny. Buffy is mentored by a Watcher, and surrounds herself with a circle of friends who help with her mission.
The series was really successful, leading to awards and accolades, plus hundreds of tie-in products, including novels, comics and video games. The series, as well as its also-great spin-off series, Angel (plus other brand extensions), are known as the “Buffyverse.”

Angel was great, too.
Let’s talk a bit here about the Buffy spinoff, Angel (1999-2004). On Buffy, we learn that Angel is a vampire who—after decades of killing and tormenting as a vampire—he was “cursed” by a gypsy to regain his human soul. As such, he’s plagued with remorse for his vampiric actions.
Although Buffy and Angel are in love, we also learn that—because of his curse—they can’t have a serious relationship. So, his own series finds Angel moving to Los Angeles and starting a private detective agency. Over the course of the series, he helped people, fought monsters, and dealt with the complications of working with an evil law firm.

#1 What We Do in the Shadows
The original film What We Do in the Shadows is a hilarious 2014 New Zealand mockumentary horror comedy that follows the lives of three roommates who are just trying to live normal lives—well, for vampires who are immortals and have to drink human blood. They struggle with not being able to dress in front of mirrors, trying to get into nightclubs, keeping up with chores, and trying to get along with their roommates.
Written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, the film is the first installment in what became a group of related projects. Clement and Waititi also star in the film, with Jonathan Brugh, Ben Fransham, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Stu Rutherford, and Jackie van Beek.
The film led to two spin-off TV series:
Wellington Paranormal is a New Zealand mockumentary comedy horror TV series revolving around Officers Minogue and O'Leary, who first appeared in the movie. The show stars Mike Minogue, Karen O'Leary, and Maaka Pohatu.
There’s also the brilliant same-titled spinoff, What We Do in the Shadows, an American version that builds a mockumentary around a different set of vampire roommates, this time in Staten Island, New York. That show stars Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, and Mark Proksch. This show is especially notable for exploring ideas that have never been seen in vampire stories before.
