With the recent release of Dracula: Untold, I thought it would be fun to put a spotlight on 20 of the greatest romantic movie couples – that include…you guessed it: a vampire.
From the popular to the obscure, from the old to the new, I tried to make this list of romantic vampire movie couples pretty versatile from the many vampire movies out there. And while some people argue that vampire popularity is dying, Dracula: Untold proves that it has some bite left in it still. So while vampires may disappear for a while from the forefront, there will always be those of us who appreciate the vampiric genre as it continues to thrive in the shadows.
As for this particular list, many of the relationships (or at least unrequited on one end) chosen are between a vampire and a human, but some are between a vampire and a werewolf or a vampire and another vampire (putting a whole new spin on eternal love). The only type of relationship I didn’t include, were the ones present in a vampire movie where at least one half of the couple (or pairing) wasn’t a vampire. So don’t expect to find Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) or Priest on the list!
This list will be the first in a series of three. The other two lists will focus on romantic vampire couples in Television and romantic vampire couples in Literature. So make sure to Subscribe and stay tuned.
I love all the top 20 lists you do but I always find these the most fascinating. And it never fails that I add another movie or two to my watch list. Great article.
Thank you! I think I personally I like doing these particular ones the most because I’m extremely interested in these types of characters! It’s fun doing the research because then I get to watch another movie or two as well –all for research purposes of course! Haha. 🙂
I would have put Sonja and Lucian much higher than Selene and Michael. Its a much better love story in my opinion and they are more interesting characters. But interesting list.
Should have put Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore together
From The Vampire Diaries
This is a movie list. I put up the TV list last week where Stefan and Elena were on it.
