Vampire fans everywhere might be mourning the fact that True Blood is scheduled to take its final bow on HBO this Sunday, but you can get your vampire fix on streaming. Whether you're obsessed with these blood-suckers because they're scary or because they're scary (or both), you have to catch these 10 essential vampire films before you can dub yourself a true genre fan.

1
'Nosferatu' (1922)
The best vampire movie of all time might also be one of the first ones ever made. Nosferatu is creepy, macabre and gorgeously made. The film has been terrifying audiences for over 90 years and could scare you tonight. [GoWatchIt]

'Let The Right One In' (2008)
The scariest and most sumptuously romantic vampire movie of the last 10 years doesn't have any sparkles, but it does have some freaky kids. Let The Right One In is an absolute masterpiece about the alienation one feels as a child and it encompasses the true terror of the vampire mythos. [GoWatchIt]
3
'Dracula' (1931)
To understand anything at all about vampire movies, you have to remember that each one, as different as they may be, is trying to live up to Dracula. Both the film and the leading man, Bela Lugosi, have literally defined our cultural understanding of what a vampire is supposed to look and sound like. [GoWatchIt]

'The Lost Boys' (1987)
Horror films in the late 1980s prided themselves on being gritty, gothic and a tad bit punk. Nowhere is this attitude better exemplified than in the cult classic, The Lost Boys. [GoWatchIt]
5
'Twilight' (2008)
Before you roll your eyes, consider how much Twilight has influenced the cultural landscape. Our obsession with vampires, werewolves, YA fiction (and tons of think pieces on said subjects) would not exist were it not for Kristen Stewart's lower lip tremble, Robert Pattinson's fluffy hair and Stephenie Meyer's polarizing love story. [GoWatchIt]

'Interview With The Vampire' (1994)
Even when it was released in 1994, Interview With The Vampire was criticized for being a tad bit silly and over-the-top. However, the lush campiness of the film honors Anne Rice's delectable source material. [GoWatchIt]

'Byzantium' (2012)
Think most vampire movies are about sexy and/or scary dudes preying upon the weak? Neil Jordan flipped the script and focused on the saga of two female vampires (played by Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan) in his recent art house favorite, Byzantium. [GoWatchIt]
8
'Near Dark' (1987)
Katheryn Bigelow might be famous today for her gritty war movies like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, but before those films (and before Point Break) she was known for making a weird little vampire thriller/romance/biker gang movie called Near Dark. [GoWatchIt]
9
'From Dusk Til Dawn' (1996)
What's interesting about vampires is that they fit in with just about any genre of filmmaking. You can make a romance, a horror film, a comedy, or, as in the case of From Dusk Till Dawn, a Tarantino-esque crime thriller featuring Quentin Tarantino. [GoWatchIt]
10
'Daybreakers' (2009)
You know what most vampire movies are missing? An exploration of the cultural, economic and political impact that a vampire takeover would have on the fabric of America. That, and Ethan Hawke. Daybreakers gives us all this and some really gross vampires. [GoWatchIt]
