Now streaming on Max, the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s horror classic Salem’s Lot is a feature film produced by horror master James Wan, and Wan has taken to social media this week to reveal his own personal list of the best vampire horror movies ever made.
James Wan’s Vampire Watchlist includes classic like Nosferatu (1922) and Dracula (1931) alongside 1980s favorites including The Lost Boys and Near Dark, as well as vampire movies directed by the likes of Mario Bava, Tom Holland, and Francis Ford Coppola.
Here’s the full list of James Wan’s personal favorite blood-sucker movies…
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula
- The Night Stalker (1972)
- Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
- Vampire Circus
- Vampire Lovers
- Horror of Dracula
- Salem’s Lot (1979)
- Dracula (1931)
- Nosferatu (1922)
- Interview with the Vampire
- Near Dark
- Fright Night
- Blade
- Subspecies 2
- Planet of the Vampires
While James Wan has dipped his toes into various horror sub-genres over the years, from the extreme torture of Saw to the creepy dolls of Dead Silence, the supernatural frights of Insidious and The Conjuring, and the giallo-inspired stylings of Malignant, he has to date never directed a vampire movie of his own. But we’re thinking he’s probably got a great one in him.
In the meantime, check out the Wan-produced Salem’s Lot on Max now.
