The Vampire Bat (1933)
This one turns some of the vampire tropes into plot fodder and features a mad scientist that needs human blood to keep his new creation alive. An older flick but fun. It features the ever impressive Faye Wray and Dwight Frye. Frye of course played one of the first ever Renfields in 1931's Dracula. I am struck by how good his range was and his performances reminds me of Andy Serkis.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
This of course features a song about Faye Wray and a mad scientist. No real vampire, but they do come from Transylvania. I have seen this one hundreds of times of course, but I still enjoy it. It is though no where near as fun on TV as it is in the theaters.
I have to admit I have always wanted to write a Buffy RPG adventure based on this. Have players play the original cast. Great for an adult themed Con game I am sure. Gotta get worked down to 4 hours.
Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (2009)
Man. I have no idea where to start with this one. Dracula and Frankenstein's monster battle it out. IF they were both super cute Japanese school girls. There is so much blood and gore in this movie. but it is comical and beyond over the top. Plus stereotypes of all sorts of Japanese cultural fads. It's insane. The big battle on top of Tokyo Tower is the climax of the movie.
The interesting bit is the mad scientist (who is related to Frankenstein) uses vampire blood to animate the corpses.
Might get to more tonight.
