Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Which do you prefer?

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Both rollicking, rowdy, good/bad vampire movies. Can't choose between them. Nothing like the classy Interview With the Vampire, but both of them exciting, frightening, well acted and a lot of fun.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Near Dark by a landslide.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Fuck that cunt nzer, she and her movie clique are ignoring me. If you want something dark, enjoy Bill and Lance then Near Dark is your thing. If you love James Woods and Daniel Baldwin, titties and action then JC's Vampire is for you. Personally I favor ND because it tried something new and slowly introduced gore and violence!

I've figured out how to self delete, have you

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

That's what I liked about it too. I want my vampires to be dark, gritty and wearing a duster.
Not puffy sleeves and ruffles.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Near Dark is a classic and the best 80's vampire film. (Yes, it's better than Lost Boys with its dumbass Billy Idol and Motley Crue looking "vampires"…I never understood the love for that film…or maybe I can… Americans have such crummy taste, after all).

Carpenter's Vampires is a minor film for such a great director but I still enjoyed it.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Weren't you a vampire kid in 80s, skateboarding, scrambler, harley, before wising up in the 90's and getting a car as well as a haircut

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

I've never been into the vampire scene or the Gothic subculture.

A skateboarding vampire? That sounds pretty cool though.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

You skateboarded, that say goth!!!!!!!!!!!

Near Dark.

Yes, this is really me.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

Carpenter's Vampires was ok, but nowhere near as awesome as Near Dark.

The real question would be, Near Dark vs The Lost Boys.

Both were vampire flicks, both came out in '87, but they were very different from each other; TBH I watch one when I'm in a certain mood, another when I'm in another.

Apples and Oranges, and I choose to keep both films, to have my cake and eat it, too.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

The real question would be, Near Dark vs The Lost Boys.

For sure!

Both are enjoyable in their own stylistic way, but Near Dark is the grittier more disturbing entry. Typical Lost Boys was the popular one, as it was the superficial one.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

I'm gonna go with Near Dark. I think it's the better made movie.

Vampires was fun, but sometimes it feels like it's trying to be Near Dark.

So many stories, so little time.

Re: Near Dark or John Carpenters Vampires?

I actually haven't seen either Movie.

I have heard good things about "NEAR DARK" though (especially about Bill Paxton in it).
