I am and that is actually the only vampire movie I enjoy. The soundtrack is great indeed and I still have the CD.

I actually watched this with the wife the other day. She fell asleep. No indication on whether or not she enjoyed the film, she always falls asleep.


I love it.


I love the atmosphere, the music, the 80's pure cheese dripping off the film. One of Schumacher's better efforts.

Yep, I love that thing. It was the first retail video I bought back in the 80's.

That soundtrack and the guy murdering that saxophone. The opening shot over the water is a classic for me. It also features one of my favorite lines ever...


"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires."

This movie is the pinnacle of the Haim-Feldman collabos.

I kind of liked it. Something I didn't like about it, though. Maybe it was because it seemed like it could have been way better and not as concerned with being "hip", "sleek" and "sexy", lol.

LOL. I totally empthise. Do it all the time.

I loved it back in the day. Havent seen it for years but remember getting a crush over Sutherland.

Loved it! But unlike others here, I cringed at the soundtrack. Maybe because my dad was a sax player and what that shirtless guy played sounded nothing like good ol' dad!

I think I was 15 or 16 when this came out, and I remember my mom actually telling me I couldn't see it (very old school, you think?). I did see it though, so I think that added to my love of it .

I remember camping out under a ping-pong table trying to wear the cassette out.

Then again, maybe like a lot of kids it was the only thing I had.

I used to skip school and rock the cassette soundtrack. Columbia House!

Classic teen horror flick with a killer soundtrack.

The 2 Coreys were every kid's heroes around the time this movie came out. They were such a dynamic duo!

Yeah not bad.. in a Near Dark ripoff sort of way.

I dunno, I'm torn. I was 20 in '87 so it seemed a little trite to people who grew up with Universal monsters on Saturday morning matinee.

The 2 Coreys were teenybopper to my generation.. like the Beatles were to the gen before.

Overall solid (and expected) 80's fare.

Man, talk about a blast from the past. I never see you post around here anymore.

I liked parts of it, but there were parts of the plot I remember feeling didn't hold together, but I would have to watch it again, it's a been a few years.

A classic. But probably only because it reminds me of my childhood so much. That and License to Drive were watched almost every day in my parents house for about 3 years.

I'm here fairly often - probably don't post as much as I used to. I was curious though and did the math. Averaged across my time here I'm at 27 posts per month or almost a post per day.

Downright active if you ask me

I felt the same way about the coreys at age 11 when this came out

I guess our paths just don't cross that much.

Love the clothes. Love the style.
