In Chapters 16 and 17 we offer up an extensive vampire filmography and highlight a number of works running the gamut from dramatic to comedic to action-adventure to science fiction, but before exploring the cinematic world of the undead, there are a coffin-full of performances and films worth noting for the characters and storylines they bring to life and the immortality they bring to the horror genre. This includes a host of legendary blood drinkers, like Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, who most would readily agree are grade A, or shall we say the type A, of cinematic vampire consumption. Pun intended.
