I've been a HUGE Vamprie fan ever since Dark Shadows, but haven't had much interest in Contemporary Vampire Television (CVT) mostly because I hate the TV format.
I have always liked different takes on vampires, be it Stoker, Polidori, Burton's Hindu Vampire stories, , MR James, DH Lawrence, E. Nesbit, EF Benson, Anne Rice or the Twilight Series (but the old guys knew when to shut up, where Rice and Twilightwhat'shername took it to the point of uninteresting).
Film-wise, Kinski as Nos is probably my all time favorite, but there are a lot of great Vampire portrayals out there.
I could easily segue from this to Stoker's Lair of the White Worm and Ken Russell's lovely-bad film and other "close cousins" of that realm.
