The 15 Best Vampire Movies of All Time
The first time someone wrote about vampires in English was in 1801 by a guy named Robert Southey. Then, in 1819, John Polidori wrote a story called The Vampyre. The most famous vampire story, Dracula by Bram Stoker, emerged in 1897. A vampire is like a spooky ghost or monster that comes out at night to drink people’s blood while they sleep. It often looks like a person but has sharp, pointy teeth. Stories about vampires have been around for a very long time.
Vampire movies have been exciting and scaring people all over the world for a long time. These films are a big hit, from the quiet, spooky vampires in old movies to the more detailed and different vampires we see today.
