Year: 1979
Director: Stan Dragoti
Plot: George Hamilton confounded his detractors by turning in a first-rate comic performance in Love at First Bite. Hamilton plays Count Dracula, who is evicted from his Transylvanian domicile when the Communist government decides to nationalize his castle. With faithful toady Renfield (Arte Johnson) at his side, Dracula heads for the Big Apple, where he finds the vampire pickings radically different from those on his home turf: for example, ol' Drac suffers the mother of all hangovers when his sinks his fangs into the neck of a wino. Klutzy Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James) falls in love with Dracula, not fully aware of his colorful background. But Saint James' stuffy fiance Dr. Jeff Rosenberg (Richard Benjamin), a descendant of Dracula's perennial foe Professor Van Helsing, knows what Dracula's up to and does his best to thwart the vampire's plan. This proves very difficult, since such time-honored remedies as the stake through the heart are frowned upon by the New York City authorities. So successful was Love at First Bite that George Hamilton was encouraged to have a satiric go at another literary icon in 1982's Zorro, the Gay Blade. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: The vampires of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels are described as impossibly beautiful. But it’s one vampire, “Edward Cullen,” who is written as having such appealing details that it would seem impossible for a girl not to fall in love with him. In actuality, that’s what has happened to most females, young and old, who have read the books. And while his cinematic portrayer, Robert Pattinson, doesn’t quite resemble a marble statue of Adonis, the actor is still getting his fair share of seven-year-old suitors asking to be bitten. Cullen is hardly the first vampire to so strongly attract the hearts (and necks) of mortals. But what is it about the bloodsucking undead that turns us on so much? Is it truly their stone-white skin and chiseled features? Or perhaps it’s their ability to go all night long? Let us take a look at the many vampire love interests that literature and cinema have given us over the years in an attempt to find out their sexy secret. 1819: Lord Ruthven from The Vampyre by John Polidori One of the granddaddies of modern English vampire literature, Polidori’s short story features a character not unlike Twilight’s Cullen in terms of suave, seductive sex appeal. Yet this alluring vampire is as deadly as he is desirable, and while he might honor a lady with his hand in marriage, he’s still liable to kill his new bride and then go into hiding. 1828: Lord Ruthven from Der Vampyr by Heinrich Marschner and Wilhelm August Wohlbruck This is basically the same guy from Polidori’s story, but in Marschner and Wohlbruck’s opera he has to disguise himself in order to be granted the young Malwina’s hand. And when he’s exposed, he’s struck by lightning and sent to hell, very much lowering his availability. 1872: Carmilla from Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Young Laura is just happy to have a new best friend, but lesbian vampire Carmilla is interested in more and keeps lunging at Laura’s chest. Unfortunately, it would take another 100-plus years before heterosexual girls found it both acceptable and trendy to “dyke out” with their gal pals. Also see versions of the story in Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr and Roger Vadim’s Blood and Roses. 1897: Count Dracula from Dracula by Bram Stoker He’s not quite Lucy Westenra’s love-interest, more like a meaningless fling for the newly engaged girl. But after a nightly affair with the Count, Lucy seems to have acquired a mysterious, deadly STD, which is later discovered to be vampirism. Fortunately for Mina Harker, his next “partner,” the disease is curable by way of killing the person you contracted it from. Also see Tod Browning’s 1931 adaptation and Terence Fisher’s 1958 version. 1922: Count Orlok from Nosferatu, directed by F.W. Murnau Based on Dracula, Orlok (Max Schreck) is also not much of a love-interest, probably because he’s so damn ugly. But he is tricked into thinking he’s desired at the end, as Ellen (Greta Schroder) gives up her body as a self-sacrificial attempt to stop the spread of vampirism to others. Or because she’s like those cruel popular girls at school who’d tease the nerds for their own narcissistic pleasure. 1966-1971: Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows, created by Dan Curtis He should have never cheated on his true love, Josette, or he might never have been turned into a vampire by his jilted, supernatural mistress, Angelique (Lara Parker). And Josette might never have killed herself. Ever since, Barnabus (Jonathan Frid) has just been looking to replace her, whether with look-a-likes or her actual reincarnated spirit. And no girl wants to feel like she’s a substitute for another woman, even if she’s supposedly that woman reborn. 1969-present: Vampirella from miscellaneous Vampirella comics, created by Forrest J. Ackerman Though a vampire hunter by trade, Adam Van Helsing couldn’t help falling for Vampirella the moment he first laid eyes on her. He would say that it’s because she’s not like other vampires, that she’s not evil. But he’s a guy, and really the immediate attraction was that body and its near lack of clothing. 1970: Carmilla from The Vampire Lovers, directed by Roy Ward Baker Ingrid Pitt is hot and all, and those longing stares of hers are enchanting, but the only reason she has more luck seducing friends like Emma (Madeline Smith) than did her 19th century literary counterpart is because this film was made at a time when experimentation with lesbianism was becoming more acceptable, especially to the guys who went to these kinds of movies. Not surprisingly, there would be plenty more soft-core lesbian vampire movies to come. 1972: Prince Mamuwalde from Blacula, directed by William Crain Blacula (William Marshall) may be one smooth vampire, but he’s not so good at keeping his ladylove from being killed…twice! At least he comes to the understanding that he’s as dangerous as he is attractive and so doesn’t allow any more women to succumb to his seductions. 1979: Count Dracula from Love at First Bite, directed by Stan Dragoti Thanks to blood banks, Dracula (George Hamilton) no longer needs to be such a villain, and he can devote himself more fully to romantic pursuits. Unfortunately, he’s got issues similar to those of Barnabus Collins and is only after a girl (Susan Saint James) who reminds him of his true love, Mina Harker. Fortunately, she’s kind of flaky and she doesn’t mind being a substitute. 1983: Miriam Blaylock from The Hunger, directed by Tony Scott No man or woman can resist the beauty of this vampire played by Catherine Deneuve, but her lovers pay a terrible price. They become immortal yet they still age, so they end up looking like the walking dead rather than the undead. Still, Miriam has amazing seductive powers, and even after seeing what has happened to one companion/victim, and even though she’s married and not a lesbian, Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon) can’t help climbing into bed with the gorgeous creature. 1985: Countess from Once Bitten, directed by Howard Storm With a girlfriend as hot as his, Mark (Jim Carrey) should just wait for her. But as a teenage male, he’s got to have sex, and like many young dudes, a sexy older woman is the answer. But not only does she not take his virginity, she begins turning him into a vampire and, worse, won’t allow his attempt at a one-night stand be simply that. 1987: Star from The Lost Boys, directed by Joel Schumacher She’s only a half-vampire, but that makes Star (Jami Gertz) all the more appealing to the new guy in town, Michael (Jason Patric). Especially when it turns out she’s not a full-blown vampire because she didn’t kill him as instructed. 1989: Rachel from Vampire’s Kiss, directed by Robert Bierman Like Countess from Once Bitten, this beautiful vampire (played by Jennifer Beals) similarly serves as a caution against one-night stands. But she could also just be a figment of Nicolas Cage’s character’s imagination. 1992: Count Dracula from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola Those sunglasses are downright sexy, but thanks to a prologue connecting Dracula to Vlad the Impaler, the titular vampire (played by Gary Oldman) has pretty much the same obsession issues he exhibits in Love at First Bite. He’s just after Mina (Winona Ryder) because she resembles his love from centuries earlier. Which means that girl in 1979 actually reminds him of Elisabeta. 1994: Lestat and Louis from Interview with the Vampire, directed by Neil Jordan It’s kind of like My Two Dads, only one of the guys is actually into the other guy and the non-bisexual one acquired their “daughter” (Kirsten Dunst) by metaphorically pedophilic means. And 30 years later she can’t forgive him for having his way with her, forever stunting her growth as a woman. Dysfunctional family or strange vampiric romance? When you’re as good looking as Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, it’s hard not to attract all sorts of admirers and possibly complicated relationships. 1995: Maximillian from Vampire in Brooklyn, directed by Wes Craven Even for the ‘90s, that mullet was not attractive, yet it somehow didn’t deter Angela Bassett’s character from falling victim to Eddie Murphy’s advances, as well as his fangs. 1997-2003: Angel and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is apparently similar to Adam in the Vampirella comics, because even though it’s her job to slay vampires, sometimes she can’t help but have sex with them. It’s not her fault though, especially if they have a soul and look like hunky actor David Boreanaz, or if they’re just Billy Idol-sexy like actor James Marsters. 2003: Selena from Underworld, directed by Len Wiseman It’s hard enough making a relationship work between a vampire and a human, but vampire on werewolf love is totally out of the question. Or is it vampire on vampire/werewolf hybrid love? Who cares, Kate Beckinsale is hot in that leather outfit! Whatever he is, Michael (Scott Speedman) is a lucky man, or something. 2008: Bill Compton from True Blood, created by Alan Ball At last, vampires have gained civil rights, yet interspecies love is still not completely acceptable. This of course makes them even more appealing to open-minded and sexually curious individuals like Sookie (Anna Paquin), who is immediately smitten with Bill the vampire (Stephen Moyer) when he walks into her bar/life. 2008: Eli from Let the Right One In, directed by Thomas Alfredson Many young boys tormented by bullies eventually turn to the goth subculture for acceptance. And typically the initial attraction is by way of a cute goth chick, similar to the crush Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) has on his new neighbor, Eli (Lina Leandersson). But if that chick turns out to actually be a vampire and is able to fight her boyfriend’s battles for him, it might be time for that guy to find a new crush and subculture. Hint: ska girls are cute, too, if there’s any still out there. 2008: Edward Cullen from Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke He may be the hottest thing to happen to young girls since The Beatles, but he’s obviously more of a fantasy, not being real and all. Still, to fellow character Bella (Kristen Stewart), he’s absolutely perfect, and perfectly incarnate. It’s a little strange that he’s 108-years-old and still attending high school — or maybe that’s just his way of finding statutory rape victims — but otherwise he’s attractive in every single way. Except that he’s not human, and he puts her life in danger. But apparently those things are part of the allure of vampires. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Good list, Rizzo. I have yet to see "American Psycho" and "Crimewave" but I thoroughly enjoyed all of the others you mentioned. "Ravenous" was great! (didn't that star the guy from "The Full Monty" ?) That reminded me of a similarly themed movie called "Cannibal: The Musical" (appearantly not listed on SPOUT) although, this is not really a "horror/comedy" but more of a straight comedy.... much like my other favorite (and I cannot believe no one has mentioned this yet) "Young Frankenstein" ! Along these lines, I also enjoyed "Love At First Bite" (!) starring George Hamilton as the most TAN Dracula in screen history! ... favorite line : "I dont drink... wine. And I don't smoke... shit." I also enjoyed the "Return Of The Living Dead" movies (1,2 &3)...
