Scary isn't exactly what's going through my mind when I look at this.

This neither. Funny choice though.

You all do realize you are all wrong for not even giving the original screen dracula at least an honorable mention.

Bela Lugosi

I've been ruined by Anne Rice, I hate messy vampires, unfortunatly they all are messy.

Okay, not scary per se but I just watched this movie a couple of weeks ago so it's fresh.

Jude Law - The Wisdom of Crocodiles

OK I 'm going to rank all the choices that have been mentioned

1. Nosferatu

2. Boy from Salems lot

3. Nosefartu from Salems lot

4. Space Vampire from Buck Rogers

5. Gary Oldham

6. Bella Lugosi

7. Christopher Lee

8. Voodoo Vampire

9. Prince

10. Dark Shadows

11. Kiefer Sutherland from lost boys

12. Fright night

13. Vincent Price

14. 30 Days of Night

15. Batman Vampire

16. Angel

17. Eddie Murphy

18. Aaliyah (more sexy than scary)

The Salem's Lot vampires hands down. I was this movie that started me having the radio or tv on all night. Silence kills me.

nosferatu hands down.

Granted he's primetime and PG-13 by today's standards. But the way he's played give me a really uneasy feeling as I watch. I believe given free range the character would be pretty damned terrifying.

I can't make that unseeable picture disappear. Oh well.

* I also think Max Schreck's Nosferatu and the original Salem's Lot's vamps are probably the creepiest I can recall on screen.

* Have to mention the 30 Days of Night vamps, who, while they couldn't save that disappointment of a movie, were effectively horrible-looking and entirely unreasonable. (That "vamp language" was stupid, though.)

* The oversized-mouth vamp from the original Fright Night added an unexpected shock at the time...

* The morgue attack scene from Blacula still kinda creeps me out in an otherwise laughable film.

Yeah, when Amy turned into a Vampire she looked scary as hell.

I thought that scene from Blacula wouldn't be all that but it was creepy indeed. Watched it a 2nd time and my blood got kind of hot.

That 2nd pic of Nosferatu IS creepy.

^ good choices. I was scared by that Buck Rogers episode.

But no one has mentioned Mina in the 1979 "Dracula"

Unfortunately the director (George Lucas style) has changed the DVD and HD version of this movie draining all the color to make it close to B&W. The original had great vivid colors in the theater. So imagine these eyes deep but saturated red.

Nice one! I haven't seen this version of Dracula since its initial 1979 release. I was 7, and I was like !!! Wish I could find this free online. I'm too cheap to rent it these days.

I don't recall if all the vamps in this version looked like Mina above, but the thing I dig about this depiction of her is that she does, in fact, look like a reanimated corpse. With the exception of Dracula (whose swagger was a novelty of the genre at the time of Stoker's book), this relatively recent business of vampires as supermodels is ridiculous to me.

She's the only one that looked this bad in shape, but I thik the idea was she was low on the totem pole with Dracula being the highest... he didn't even have fangs! I love that idea. I even used it in a projectof mine... no fangs for REAL vampires.

I struggle with the fang thing, honestly. They kind of make no sense, but they are so central to the aesthetic of the genre that they are one silly element that I still do like to see.

That said, it pisses me off when makeup designers don't get the fangs right. Fangs, in humans, would be an extension of the canine teeth with four incisors inbetween. I hate seeing them closer together or farther apart.

Dracula 1979 was a well made movie
