I'm not really a fan of most vampire films, mainly because they're usually portrayed as either gushy romantics, stilted gothics, or suave sexual predators. That's one reason why it's so common to use the concept for teenybopper TV shows and movies.
I agree with Kandarian Demon, Salem's lot and Nosferatu are the only two scary, monstrous versions I can think of, and both are excellent films. I'll vote Nosferatu for being utterly iconic and chilling, but for me Salem's lot is more re-watchable. I also thought Vampyr was beautifully constructed, albeit not a great story, and Let the Right One In is a modern day masterpiece. I like the remake too.
