Best Vampire Movies on Satellite TV

The recent success of teen vampire flick Twilight at satellite box office, has put those blood sucking creatures of the night back into the spotlight. Ever since Bram Stoker's Dracula, we have been fascinated with these preternatural and oh so fatal characters. They lure us in with their immortality, their apparent youth, their beauty and their sexy brooding. Catch these top vampire movies on satellite TV, and don't forget the HD, all of this bloodletting demands the clarity and purity that only high definition can bring.

Interview with a Vampire: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas all in one movie, and all starring as handsome, brooding and preternatural vampires. What else could you ask for? The movie, based on Ann Rice's novels, follows the tale of the vampire Lestat and his protg Louis as they journey across continents and across centuries. Nothing but HD will do for this movie.

From Dusk to Dawn: Written by the one and only Quentin Tarantino and directed by his pal Robert Rodriguez, this 1996 horror action comedy thriller starred George Clooney, Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis; Tarantino himself has a lead role, as escaped prison convict Richie Gecko, a psychopath and serial rapist. As the film progresses, so does the amount of blood and gore. What starts as a crime caper ends as a somewhat surreal slasher-vampire flick. Catch this gem of a movie on satellite TV. Also, don't forget to watch the equally absurd and blood spattered sequel and prequel.

Underworld: This movie, well actually, this movie series-there are three parts in total, each separate films in and of themselves-stars Kate Beckinsale as Selene, the vampire protagonist of each movie. Within the series, vampires and their lycan (werewolves) enemies are actually products of a virus. Lycans used to be the day guardians of the vampires, until a war broke out between the two species. Selene was a Death Dealer, a lycan killer, before she meets and falls in love with a lycan, and subsequently uncovers a conspiracy within the vampire realm. The movie is dark and moody, with high flying action sequences viewed best in HD. The third installment has recently been released in high definition in the theatres; you can watch the other two parts on satellite TV.

Blade: Blade, played by the formidable satellite Snipes, is half vampire, half human. This makes him a good guy, apparently, and his lifelong mission is to kill vampires, protecting the human race from these immortal bloodsuckers. Blade himself demonstrates a lot of deft and brawn throughout this movie and the subsequent sequels.

The Lost Boys: This movie is something of a cross between Peter Pan, Lord of the Flies and well, any vampire movie of your choice. Two brothers and their mother move to a small coastal town in California. The town has a serious biker problem and there are a number of mysterious deaths. Later on, the two brothers make friends with two vampire hunters who tell them of a gang of young and immortal vamps that have occupied the town. The movie starred Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric.
