Vampire Movies from Amazon

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse continues to tear things up at the box office, and even the mighty Snoop Dogg has released a song paying homage to True Blood’s Sookie Stackhouse. In short: the nation has officially went nuts for vampires. That’s why I’ve decided to put together this list of vampire movies from Amazon (plus plenty of TV series). You’ll find a little something for everyone, whether you pull for Edward, Jacob, or just consider yourself a fangbanger.

Ordering from Amazon is a snap, and items will be delivered right to your door via UPS (which means your local postal service can’t screw things up). Their prices are also the best around, and they’ve even been known to outdo the evil empire known as Wal-Mart. Amazon has more vampire movies than you can shake a crucifix at, plus thousands of other titles in various genres.

Twilight (Blu-ray) – The first film in the series, Twilight introduces the brooding Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), recently moved back to her childhood home of Forks, Washington to live with her father. It’s not long before she makes the acquaintance of Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a brooding student who attends school along with his unusually gorgeous brothers and sisters. After he saves her from certain death, Bella becomes fascinated with Edward and learns his secret: he’s a vampire. Thus begins a dangerous romance, something which is further complicated by the appearance of three nomadic vampires who delight in feeding on human beings. Their leader, James (Cam Gigandet), can’t resist Bella’s unique scent, and so Edward and his clan must struggle to keep the mortal girl safe (along with the rest of the population of Forks).

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Blu-ray) – The second film in the Twilight series, this time we find Bella upset at the prospect of growing old while the immortal Edward stays, well, immortal. After an unfortunate incident at her birthday party thrown by the Cullens, Bella is abandoned by Edward and all the vampires leave Forks. Heartbroken, Bella begins to spend more and more time with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a close friend from her childhood who helps ease the pain. But Jacob has problems of his own, and a miscommunication leads Edward to think that his beloved is dead. As a result, he travels to Italy to provoke the ruling council of vampires into killing him, and Bella must race there to stop him.

Twilight Ultimate Collector’s Set (Blu-ray) – Exclusive to Amazon, the Twilight Collector’s Set comes in a beautiful box with plenty of extra features. Just look at everything you get:

Interview with the Vampire (Blu-ray) – Brad Pitt stars as Louis, an 18th-century man who wants to die after losing his wife and child. Enter Lestat (Tom Cruise): a vampire who offers him a chance to start fresh as an immortal. Following his transformation, Louis accompanies Lestat across the world, but the latter’s controlling (and bloodthirsty) nature begins to wear on the gentle Louis. Things really go downhill after Lestat creates a vampiric “daughter” (Kirsten Dunst) to prevent his friend from leaving. Directed by Neil Jordan and based on the book by Anne Rice, the film co-stars Antonio Banderas, Stephen Rea, and Christian Slater.

The Vampire Diaries – The Complete First Season (Blu-ray) – Mixing the supernatural with teenage drama, this television series stars Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert, a young woman in Mystic Falls, Virginia who falls in love with a vampire named Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley).

The Lost Boys (Blu-ray) – A major hit in the 1980s, The Lost Boys tells the story of Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) and his brother Michael (Jason Patric), two young men who’ve recently moved to the coastal town of Santa Carla, California. When Michael falls for a girl named Star (Jami Gertz), he gets mixed up with a local gang led by David (Kiefer Sutherland). Turns out that David and his pals are all vampires, and Michael is slowly beginning to change into one himself. In order to save his brother, Sam must team up with the vampire-killing Frog brothers (including Corey Feldman) to locate and take out the head bloodsucker.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Collector’s Set (DVD) – For seven seasons, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) fought off vampires, demons, and anything else that went bump in the night. Now you can own all her adventures in this massive 40-disc collection. The first 39 discs are reserved for the show, but there’s also a bonus disc with tons of special features and extras. If you’ve ever though about giving this Joss Whedon series a try, there’s no better way to do it. Also comes with a special note from Whedon, booklet with an episode guide, and the script for the pilot episode.

Angel: Season 1-5 (Collector’s Set) (DVD) – After spinning off from Buffy, tortured vampire Angel (David Boreanaz) moves to Los Angeles and opens up a private investigation firm to “help the helpless.” This soon puts him into conflict with the demonic law firm known as Wolfram& Hart, and a number of your favorite characters from Buffy drop by as the series progresses. 110 episodes in all, plus plenty of extras.

True Blood: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray) – Based on the hit novels by Charlaine Harris, the HBO series is set in the fictional Louisiana town of Bon Temps and follows the supernatural adventures of a telepathic waitress named Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin). Vampires are known to the general public, as they’ve “come out of the coffin” in recent years. Sookie’s world is thrown into turmoil when she meets Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), an immortal who fought in the Civil War. As she navigates her feelings for this brooding stranger, her brother becomes the primary suspect in a series of brutal murders in the area. This set collects all 12 episodes of Season One, as well as including a large number of extras and exclusive content.

True Blood: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray) – True Blood returned on HBO for another 12 episodes in Season Two, and this box set collects them all. Still involved with the vampiric Bill Compton, waitress Sookie Stackhouse encounters Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard), a leader among the vampires who needs help tracking down the immortal who “made” him. Sookie is just the gal for the job, but she must also contend with a powerful creature slowly bending the citizens of Bon Temps to its will, plus her brother’s involvement with a dangerous anti-vampire religious movement. Plenty of sex and violence along the way.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Blu-ray) – Francis Ford Coppola adapted the classic horror novel into a lavish period piece featuring Gary Oldman as an immortal nobleman who seeks to reunite with the reincarnation of his lost love (Winona Ryder). But despite his hellish powers, there’s still one man who can stop him: Professor Abraham Von Helsing (Anthony Hopkins). Co-starring Keanu Reeves, Richard E. Grant, Cary Elwes, Bill Campbell, Sadie Frost, and Monica Bellucci (in a small-but-memorably-busty role).
