Vampire

(1922) Nosferatu - Count Orlok has nothing to hide.

(1983) The Hunger - Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie=chic bloodletting.

(1972) Blacula - Prince Mamuwalde from Africa dons the cape.

According to the popular Twilight series (the books and film) and the successful HBO show True Blood, contemporary vampires are portrayed as small-town-loving, truck driving, working class folk. There are only so many castles in Transylvania, so I'm all for bringing vampires to the masses. The best revision of late is delivered in the (2008) Swedish film, Let the Right One In; the vampire is understandably a loner, a transient with no attachment to companions, a home or social protocol.
