Actually I cannot think of a scary vampire movie. Nosferatu was creepy and it has stayed with me since I saw it as a kid. Stephen King's book Salem's Lot was scary. But I cannot think of a really scary vampire movie! I think it is because it has been done so many times and the vampire MO is widely known. I picked up this graphic novel because of the cover - mine is a little different than the one provided here. It is a closer shot of the vampire's face. Once I took a peek inside I knew this was something special and was hooked! 30 days of Night refers to the season in Barrow Alaska were the sun does not rise. So vampires seem to have just found out about this and decide to have an all-you-can-eat. The artwork by Ben Templesmith is amazing - shades of gray, bronze and red - there is plenty of gore and the vampires actually look menacing. Steve Niles' story and script is so original, smart and sharp. I cannot recommend this enough! Heard the rights to the story were sold and a movie is in the works - let's hope it does not suck. Boy, do I sound pessimistic or what?!Read full review
I love the new modern day comic. This book allows such a horrific look into the world of vampires in a cold dark town. I absolutely love the series of novels.
