vampire film

Undead horror movie

A vampire film is a horror movie featuring vampires—undead creatures who survive by drinking blood, typically human.

The genre spans from gothic adaptations of Dracula to modern takes that romanticize or satirize the mythology: We watched vampire films all October.

The category overlaps with romance and action depending on treatment.
