Need I say more?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> <em>Interview With A Vampire<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First off, Brad Pitt was a perfect Louie and Tom Cruise as Lestat? Yes, please. This was also one of those times where for me the movie was better than the book (and no that doesn&#8217;t happen often). It took me nearly a month to finish that book, yet the movie? Couldn&#8217;t get enough.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> <em>Bram Stokers Dracula<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I loved the book and I loved the movie. I have no idea why, but I found this to be one of the most creepy vampires stories ever. It also had some strong sensuality going on that even while you&#8217;re scared you&#8217;re excited too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My number ONE vampire movie recommendation is <em>Let The Right One In<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is not your typical vampire movie, it&#8217;s actually a coming of age story where one of the characters coming of age happens to be a vampire. It&#8217;s beautiful, dark, mysterious, creepy and scary, all things that vampires are supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>I should also mention here if you just want a thrilling vampire movie that may be lacking a little in the plot department, but is still a lot of fun, then definitely give <strong><em>Thirty Days of Night <\/em><\/strong>a whirl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
