Did your favorite vampire movie make the cut?
As a child of the 80’s, I always liked the goofy “Love At First Bite” (1979) movie starring George Hamilton, the vastly underrated 1985 Jim Carrey vampire movie “Once Bitten” & a couple of other vampire movies that have a special place in my Halloween loving heart – “Transylvania 6-5000” (1985) and 1987’s “The Monster Squad” (even though this is probably considered more of a monster movie than just a vampire movie).
