The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I'm not a great fan of the hollywood vampire, having a preference for the old Hammer films ofttimes.

I'm just curious...what's your 'favourite vampire death' in a film??

I liked Akasha's death in Queen of the Damned. It was cool how she turned to dust and just dissipated.

I like Akasha's death also. And also the way the one taking the last string of blood becomes not dead but almost sort of when turning to stone.

'The Satanic Rites of Dracula' ..
..sad me, I just love a Christopher Lee death.

I liked the way vampires died in the Blade movies. If I remember correctly, they kind of made a soft explosion.

One of my favorites was the death of Dracula in Dracula 2000...when 'Judas' ended up hanging for a second time - but at sunrise. Cool concept.

In the Lost Boys when the one vampire was shot with an arrow and into the stereo behind him. Death by stereo. lol

Interveiw with a Vampire when Louie set fire in the catacombs after they kill Claudia

I do love how in the Hammer films the unique ways Dracula was killed off...

but then, the two scenes in Interview with a Vampire of how Claudia died and how Louis set fire to the theatre.

The deaths in the Subspecies series took the cake in my point of view. Specifically one of Radu's deaths where he was hanging from a tree and burst into flames.

The best vampire death in my opinion was definatly Claudia...very vivid...you could feel her pain.

"Van Helsing" (the movie) - where the girl vampire is shot on the building by an arrow with holywater.

A lot, but presently what comes to mind would be the vampire Andre's death in Nochnoy Dozor (Nightwatch). Death by headlights and then he spun across the room and broke like porcelain.

I can't remember the name of the movie because I saw it a couple of years ago but I loved when the vampire was going to attack the man and then he just pulled out a silver kind of sword thing and stabbed the vampire girl in her stomach and then she just feel off of the bridge.

the uv rounds in underworld

that's a hard one..claudia's was great, but so was the van helsing vamps death

I love how the vampires died in the Buffy episodes, how they just kind of...exploded into dust. They were set on fire, you could see their skeleton and then BOOM they were gone.

For me, it is the death in "From Dusk till Dawn"

Completely not serious and very campy and entertaining!

Blood, gore, and fire everywhere!

I think I'll have to go for the one at the end of the Buffy movie, where the one-armed vampire is staked and when Rutger Hauer keeps playing the violin, the guy keeps getting up and dancing around...

"Ooh...ow...eee....that hurts!"

i like the death of Aaliyah in queen of the damned

I like how they explode into dust when staked too!!!

Good one STABB!

I forgot that one. I believe that particular vampire was being played by the great Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman.

That was a great role for him.

Gary Oldman in Dracula, I actually cried. Then again it was Gary Oldman playing Dracula.

i liked the scene of buffy killing the master in the hit tv show Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I think that the saddest death was Gary Oldman in Dracula. I cried too. But I liked the deaths of the vampires in Blade 3.

The vampire being dragged into the sunlight by a chain and winch, in John Carpenters 'Vampires'.
..
Lord knows why I thought of that, while edging the lawn!

Akasha, in Queen of the Damned. her turning to dust really made it seem that she had been made of unreal things.

The death of Valek in John Carpenter's Vampires

akasha's death or the death of judas in dracula 2000

I have nearly 60 vamp movies. I like Dracula 2000 as well. Im tired of hearing that people are only viewing anne rice stuff. People, there are more movies than Interview...just look at my page you might get some ideas on other vampire movies to watch.

My favorite?

Well I do not have any favorite vampire death, beacuse they are all tragic deaths (non-appealing deaths). Then again wich death is appealing?

The vampire death wich left a great impression on me is the death of Dracula in Dracula 2000, by Gerard Butler.

It is unbearable to see how he gets stuck hanging on that metal rope off the building, where the sun just raises to fry him to his "release".

Very tragic.

In my opinion it is also pretty much a dumb ending as well.

Very unrealistic.

But I liked that movie even with the crappy ending.

Dracula is good looking, spirited, ever-vital, and unsatiable.

It would have to be Bram Stoker's Dracula's death.

From duck till dawn when all the vampires blew up when the sun touched them or when they shot them with holy water and they dissolved. Coolness!

Yeah, I agree on that raineatnight. Those scenes were dinamic!

Not to mention how those types of a vampire in that movie were so damn ugly every each of them!

They deserved what they got.

_I'd have to say the death of Dracula in Van Helsing. FRICKIN' AMAZING MAN! I loved how they had Van Helsing turn into a were wolf then Rip out Dracula's throat. And then he just sorta shriveled up! That's a tear jerker for a jerk! HA! Besides, that Dracula was just plain ugly...I don't like the actor, so he got what he deserved!_

Gary Oldman as Dracula and that death scene was very sad.

And loved Carpenter's 'Vampires with yanking them out into the sun.

i did like the blade movies and how they dies or underworld when she cute his head in half and he was alive and stuff then id trickled blood and slid off lol

Christopher Lee agonizing in technicolor laid the path for Paul Rubens in the Buffy movie, but I pitied Claudia. She always fascinated me, and I didn't have to see her burst into flames. The forms of she and her adoptive doll-maker mother clutching each other said it all.

I'd like to see a vampire expire in some other way than fire and dust.

I liked the ones from Blade Trinity you just slice them and they turn into some bright light and go poof into dust. I laugh every time. I also enjoyed 30 Days Of Night.

the blade movies!

I enjoyed how the vampires died in the Buffy series. It was really clean and final. Also, the way their image kinda stayed in the dust...creepy. You could see the shock and fear etched on their faces even after they were gone. Very nice effect. ;)

Dracula dying in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula was just sad. It was so real. He didn't go poof. He didn't explode. He didn't melt. He bled and died...just like we would. That scene really touched me. It lent such a tragically human aspect to his death, which brought the viewer closer to feeling empathy for the "monster". In the end, he was just like the men that killed him (although Mina ultimately saw the deed all the way through, but still...)--he lived, he loved, he lost, he died. It blurred the line between good and evil. Perfecto!!! :D

I gotta' admit that the deaths of the vampires in both versions of Nosferatu were overly dramatic - funny.

Very well said Theta. I've always consiered Coppola's version of Dracula, a love story. I was rooting for him all the way through.

I like the lost boys version and the differen ways they killed them.

I will have to say all the good ones have been mentioned especially Claudia so sad and final.
I think we relate to the image so much and unlike a fiend from the crypt being stopped by the hero … to see what we admire find a final demise is not given the deepness it deserves in Hollywood films…. Claudia came close

long after posting this: a thought occured to me ~ the scene in Blade, at the disco & the shower of blood, to a techno beat.
..

Interview with the vampire when claudia and that woman turned to dust while embracing one another.

The moveie bram stoker dracula, when dracula finally does, or vampires when they get hauled into the sun to burn.

claudia was cool and vivid

Akasha's death in Queen of the Damned

id have to say the most meaningful vampire death for me would in blade 2, which wasnt a great movie but the brother and sister at the end was rather moving..


nessa letting her brother infect her knowing blade with surely finish her off..

and Nomac saying as he pushes the blade up into her heart for the finally death...."it hurts no more"

eeh my own favorite....

Akasha, QUeen of the Damned.

..stuff? no vampires that that.
MichaelMoriarty, but no vampires.
..
Hmmm, doing windows, I was thinking..
..I related to Angel, episodes 1, 2 & 3
Seeing him thrown into a coffin, then into the sea, series 4.. got me.

yes i liked the one in blade movie

I like the vampires catching fire and then bursting into flames to the soundtrack of Tangerine Dream in NEAR DARK.

I always thought that Frank Langella's death at the end of DRACULA - 1979 was sad because you really wanted Lucy to end up with Dracula since her fiance was such a drip. And when she looks up and smiles when his cape starts to fly away I always took it as a sign that he now has a chance of returning.

There is also CURSE OF THE UNDEAD - 1958 the first Vampre Western and the first time that a small cross was attached to a bullet thus killing the vampire gunslinger.

HORROR OF DRACULA is my all time favorite.

I know it's been said but I loved Akasha's death in Queen of the Damned. It was very well done, visually. Not your average turning to dust and blowing away, there was more depth to it.

Dracula's death in Dracula 2000

xxfeelthishatexx,

I forgot about the death of Claudia in Interview.

I liked that death just because I have a fixation on tourturous deaths, and to have blood-sucking killers perform an execution in such a manner is exilerating.

Van Helsing the girl who was shot up on the building by an arrow with holywater on it and Claudia's sunlight death.......the two favorites by far!

I totally dig John Carpenter's Vampires...watching the vamps getting shot by crossbows and drug by a cable into the sunlight...only to blaze up like loose gunpowder flashes...

yeah.
:P

I gotta say Bram Stoker's Dracula. I'm a romantic and that broke me heart :( ^^

hmm I really liked how Akasha died in Queen of the damned..it was a cool scene

My favorite death was of little Claudia.

I also like Blades style of killing too!

oh the blade movies was pretty intense and so was the way the head vampire was killed in underworld

When Victor was killed by Selene in Underworld. That was beautiful...

prolly Bram Stoker's Dracula beacuse he was killed by the one he loved

I would have to agree on that one; what a way to go :-)

akashas death by far.. Bram Stokers dracula was a good one too though..

I'm not a person to watch alot of vamp movies due to surcumstances but I liked the Queen of the Damned.

I guess I have to agree with Stabb on Paul Ruebens death in the movie "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

That has to be the most comical death scene ever written!

I'm partial to Marcus' death in 'Underworld II'.

for me..it FRIGHT NIGHT

I also go with Gary Oldman in Dracula. He was just amazing in the movie.

the Best Hollywood vampire death????

I always liked the One vampires death in "The lost boys"....

When the Vamp was shot with an arrow thru the heart, and nailed onto a stereo....

the vampire shook violently as the stereo turned on, and then the Vamp exploded....

One of the Coreys had the line, "death by stereo...."

too cool!

:P

Blade and freeze.

I never like seeing Dracula dying. But if I had to pick one, I like the old fashioned , Christopher Lee ......Bela Lugosi.

While Akasha's death was a spectacular example , I had a problem her outfit turning to dust along with her.

Another good one was in Van Helsing, when the vamp lady was pierced to the steeple buy a arrow dipped in holy water....very cool!

i would have to say its a toss up between the very ending in dracula riseing and the way dracula died in dracula 2000.....

In the Satanic Rites OF Dracula ...
It has a pretty good death sean a little different ..
Take a look.
I`m a fan of the old Hammer films with Christopher Lee ...

I enjoyed the drawn out death of Vlad at the end of To Die For as he sacrifices himself to the sun so the woman he loves can become human again. Why does love always end in a somewhat final death for Hollywood vampires? So the drama.

This is cheesy, yet funny but i like the way that in the buffy the vampire slayer movie how the head vampires assistant died, lingered was more like it.. But he made it funny.

I'd have to say along with alot of you....Akasha's death was AWESOME........

It's been a while since I've seen a vampire movie. However, the one death that I do remember affecting me was that of Claudia. So sad...and unstable.

I have to say the second hanging of Judas in Dracula 2000

I would have to say the lost boys
The really got it in the end and also

I wonder if a vampire really dies that way??

i like the buffy scene with Dracula. that was some funny stuff.

I liked very much the death from NOSFERATU ... and I love Klaus KINSKI

I have to agree with Elisabeta about NightWatch. Sorry but that movie just took the cake for me. Aswell as DayWatch.

I loved Akasha's death in Queen of the Damned because it was so amazing she yurned to statue then dust

Oh i would say i prefer the way they was dust in the blade movies

I totally forgot about the Buffy series with Dracula...excellent episode!!

hmmm..i dont normally watch vampire movies i jsut read the books.im thinking the best "vampire death" would have to be in a new movie comming out by MTV called Twilight..they have to tear the vampire appart limb by limb and burn the remains

Definitely the deaths in the Blade movies, and in Underworld as well :)

I would have to say that out of all vampire deaths Akasha would have to be my favorite one...

i would have to agree that akasha's death was my favorite one

Bram Stoker's was the best I think..it was so poetic...but Claudia was good too - and the Blade series...I love when Stephen Dorfman throws the vampire's teeth on the table... good scene!

I enjoy all their deaths!

its a tie, the buffy episode with dracula and dracula 2000, that was amazing.

I rather liked how the ancient vampire in Blade 2 died. After his son takes a rather large bite out of his neck, he just hits the floor. His skin seemed to turn to marble and started cracking. It was just well done I thought.

I also liked Dracula Dead and Loving It when Renfield draws a little smiley face in the dust that is the remains of Dracula. Still makes me chuckle when I see other vampire movies where they just turn to dust.

hmm the way they would die in blade and underworld
