Fair use rationale for Image:The Vampire Lovers.jpg[edit]

Image:The Vampire Lovers.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Move request[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move the page from "Vampire movies" to "Vampire films", per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 05:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The request is to bring this article's title in line with the naming conventions. - LA @ 16:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This move would make the current redirect the article, while this would be the redirect. - LA @ 16:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Blood.frostbite.jpg[edit]

The image Image:Blood.frostbite.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Splits[edit]

Here are two splits to make this article shorter and more readable. LA (T) @ 08:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split Other vampires in films to List of vampire films[edit]

It can be specified that there is another list of Dracula films and that this list is for non-Dracula films. LA (T) @ 08:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split Other vampires in television to List of vampire television series[edit]

This list should mostly be for series which deal only with vampires, though a section could be devoted to other series with just one or two episodes dealing with vampires. LA (T) @ 08:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aawww, its only 31 kb. Man, vampire was much bigger when we took it to FAC...I am not fond of splitting all of dracs films, so I guess I am not keen on it really :( Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS: A better split is to have this as an article, and several list as spinoff lists. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:26, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please, please don't. I know its a very comprehensive list, and maybe a bit excessive. But it really is a wonderful list. You can't find one even close to that useful anywhere else.Lollipopfop (talk) 03:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dracula and his legacy[edit]

Isn`t it redundant to have this list of movies and TV appearances and then add a link to 'Dracula in popular culture" which has same list of movies(some might be missing but that`s not the point) in greater detail and other neat stuff. Maybe a short paragraph(which now is present) and a link to mentioned article would be enough? --BlisterD (talk) 16:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Justify use of Link?[edit]

link between the Universal tradition and the later Hammer style is the 1957 Mexican movie El Vampiro that actually showed the vampire fangs (Lugosi did not) and introduced other now common cliches. In what way is this film- part of a long tradition of Mexican vampire films- a connection between Universal (USA) and Hammer (UK) Dracula films? Is it the ONLY vampire film made in the time period? Nosferatu in 1922 showed fangs - albeit kind of weird rodenty looking ones. Exactly what cliches did it start? Nitpyck (talk) 17:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

twilight??[edit]

hello?? twilight is like the MOST popular vampire movie right now....there should something a bout twilight for twifans like me!! lol!!! ☆dream on☆dance on☆ 21:15, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been on the list for nearly two years. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. Its been a definite phenomena. In fact Id like to see vampires in films for the teen to young adult audience mentioned somehow, because it seems like its been the trend. But I have no research to prove anything like that. So, Im not writing it. I did want to say thats the best ever list of vampire films I have ever seen.
