The Little Vampire
A family comedy/horror that follows a young American boy Tony after moving to Scotland with his parents and his quest to help his new best friend and his family, who also happens to be a vampire. The film may have found me at age seven, but it stuck out to me all these years like a sore thumb, and holds itself up as a brilliant film, ensured to bring you those cozy autumn vibes we are all searching for.
The Twilight Saga
As we approach the tween years, Twilight was bound to hit me like a ton of bricks just as it did everybody else. The film series follows human Bella as she moves to a small rainy town in Washington to live with her single dad; the atrocious colouring in the film to illustrate the small-town isolation only adds to its character. Sometimes a little cringey but comforting all of the time. Twilight never fails to provide hilarious film nights with your flat when the November cold is just a little too cold to brave for a night in Dog and Parrot.
The Vampire Diaries
Although it was aired for almost twenty years, I am only suggesting you rewatch the first two seasons. Two vampire brothers, a human girl, another small-town setting, teenagers who don’t seem to attend school whatsoever; what more could you ask for? It was a teenage girls dream piece of media to stumble across in lockdown. A home cooked meal, a hot drink, some seminar reading, and The Vampire Diaries will act as the perfect background noise to distract you all night.
Sinners
Two twins hoping to return to their hometown to start a new life for themselves and leave their troubles behind, only to find out the greatest evil they have yet to encounter is waiting behind the door for them. This film is where I can pin my blame for bringing back my vampire obsession in full force, and for that I suggest you keep this one until that essay is finished, because you won’t be able to take your eyes away from the screen.
