Cult Classics
![Queen of the Damned]()
I've always been drawn towards movies that take the viewer into another
realm, beyond what we believe to be real. I have film posters of all the
cult classics. Vampires are mystical creatures that I find myself drawn
to. They are dark elusive beings that hold the key to the underworld.
Although dangerous, Vampires have an appeal of fragility that makes
them so fascinating. The very first vampire movie, Frederich Murnaus'
"Nosferatu" was made in 1922 and remains a classic. The hunched
shadow of Count Orlok's, clawed hand outstretched towards Mina's room is a
potent image and the embodiment of a vampire.
The horror and uncertainty that surrounds death and the after-life can
either terrify the viewer or captivate their curiosity. There is nothing
like the rush of adrenaline when your heart starts to pound and your pulse
races. You may want to turn away but the curiosity and intrigue keeps you
watching as you feel every hair on your body rise!
![Dracula film posters]()
Over time vampires have been portrayed as seductive creatures in film.
Mortals are seduced by the aura of mystery and knowledge that surrounds
them, while others have offered up their lives in return for the
experience.
"Queen of the Damned" was dark and romantic and truly captivated
the eroticism surrounding vampires. I have collected many vampire film
posters over the years but some of the newer ones have really captured my
attention.
"Dracula" set the standard of seduction and mystique for the
non-living. He needed the blood of mortals but needed to feel a connection
to them as well. I have collected every great vampire film poster. The
Vampire Chronicles, written by Anne Rice have created a whole new
generation of cult and horror film buffs who appreciate great films like
"Interview with the Vampire" and "Queen of the Dammed."
"Come out, come out, where ever you
are."
