These Films Suck, Literally

 

| | More

It’s kind of amazing that the world isn’t sick of vampires yet. True, Twilight and, to a lesser extent, The Vampire Diaries give a bad name to the bloodsuckers, but there’s enough good vampire material out there—namely, True Blood and reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel—to keep things interesting. And BAM’s getting in on the act.

From now until late September, BAM will screen more than 30 vampire films, including Let the Right One In and, of course, Dracula. My only question: Where’s Dracula Dead and Loving It? Actually, thank you BAM for not including Dracula Dead and Loving It. That, and The Hunger.
