These Vampire Movies Will Leave You Thirsty for More

Searching for an autumn party idea? There's no better time for a vampire movie marathon. Hunker down with a fall-themed cocktail (or two), grab your sweet treats, and press play on a chilling Halloween classic. From disturbingly realistic foreign films (Let the Right One In) to campy mockumentary comedies (What We Do in the Shadows) to gory flicks set in Alaska (30 Days of Night), there are way more vampire movies where Twilight came from.

Twilight's Edward Cullen, played by an alabaster Robert Pattinson, is just the start of vampire cinema's brooding romantic leads, who straddle the line between alluring and downright scary. Some other A-list celebrities who have played vampires include Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, and Wesley Snipes (well, he plays a half vampire).

While this genre has been popular in Hollywood since 1922's black-and-white movie Nosferatu, some of the best vampire movies of all time are modern, created in the '80s and later. And all of them are available to stream on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix (start with the haunting and exquisite Byzantium, in which Saoirse Ronan plays, well, you know). We've rounded up some of the best vampire flicks from around the world, including Sweden, Iran, and the American Midwest, and from every genre, that will leave you thirsty for more.
