The Critetion Channel's Vampire Series
Scary yet seductive, the vampire has inspired more fascination than just about any other creature in horror history. Ever since Bela Lugosi set the standard for sinister sophistication with his iconic performance in Tod Browning's 1931 classic Dracula, filmmakers have been relentlessly reimagining and redefining the vampire myth as a delivery system for primal fear, and potent social commentary. Glam vamps (Daughters of Darkness), blaxploitation bloodsuckers (Blacula), pint-size Nosferatus (Let the Right One In**), K-horror creeps (Thirst), and more are now all part of an ever-growing, multinational lore that will, truly, never die.

The Criterion Channel is available in the U.S. and Canada for $10.99 a month or $99.99 a year after.
P.s. They did not announce that the original Nosferatu is included, I'm not sure why, because they have a picture of it on the collection's front.
