Best Vampire Movies, Ranked (and Where to Watch Them)

Updated on

Whether you want to watch a traditional vampire movie such as Dracula, or something that subverts the genre, we've got you covered with a complete guide to the best vampire movies streaming online today. This includes streaming details for every streaming service in the United States, so you can sink your teeth into the best vampire movies of all time.

Vampire movies have captivated audiences for over a century, and there are several classics that stand out as some of the best of all time. One of the reasons why these films are so popular is their ability to tap into our deepest fears and desires. Vampires represent both the allure of eternal life and the fear of death alongside the seductive power of forbidden desires.

The best vampire films are able to explore these themes in a way that is both thrilling and thought-provoking, often featuring complex characters who struggle with their own morality and mortality; If a living being has the capability of eternal life, why would they worry about any ethical consequences to their decisions? An on-screen vampire struggling with this idea remains a fascinating character study regardless how many times it has been depicted. 

Another reason why vampire films continue to be a mainstay in Hollywood is their ability to reinvent themselves over time. From the silent horror of Nosferatu to the comedic musings of What We Do in the Shadows, vampire films have taken on many different forms and genres throughout the years. Audiences are drawn to these titles because they offer a unique blend of horror, romance and fantasy that could be difficult to find in other genres.
