So movies are constantly being remade anymore--what movie do you think should be remade, keeping the same basic story and plot points, but with vampires?

well i think pretty much any movie would become either absolutely hilarious or downright terrifying with vampires, so its hard to pick and choose.
top three for me though:
Titanic (mostly because of them being above running water the whole time technically)
Batman (for the lulz and also because it'd be cool to see an insane Joker-pire)
Predator (personal fave- because it'd be great to see the Predator hunting what he thought were humans and then the reveal that they're actually supernatural vampires and the Predator gets hunted instead)3 -

+++ for the Predator idea, that would be sweet!2 -

actually a bunch of violent movies would become pretty awesomely funny if it was vampires instead of people bc the eternal life thing kind of *kitten* up murder and whatnot. and it makes sense vampires would involved in gangs or mobsters bc they have to make money somehow for all eternity. reservoir dogs would be weird vampire movie.
well now i wanna see Inglourious B's with vampires.
that's probably the only way they could have Christoph Waltz be more terrifying in that opening scene.2 -
The director, producers, crew, everybody is vampries except the cast
The fear you see is *real*
It's a movie about vampires making a movie not-starring vampires3 -

Mean Girls would make excellent vampires, but what happens when the bookish-nerdy girl that they're mean to is actually concocting a potion her laboratory/dorm room to control, torture and kill them all?

i think it'd be better if the mean girls/vampires were actually the protagonists and the bookish-nerdy girl is the true villain of the story. like a natural continuation of the ending (book ending) to I Am Legend.3 -

This is a little confusing to me, because if you have vampires in the movie it's going to change a lot about that movie.
For example, The Wizard of Oz. Say Dorthy was a vampire and just starts feeding on the munchkins. How, from a writing stand point, can you ignore that and continue the movie with the same basic story and plot points?0 -

That's 100% how I set it up; build sympathy for the girl gettin picked on til you realize just how cruel she is when the tables are turned.3 -

i wrote one years ago about a serial killer being tormented by asp moth caterpillars, which were actually the spirits of his victims, and now i wanna revisit that idea only he's a vampire now3 -

I mean, I'd read that
I got one about a dude who is gifted this alien slug/parasite thing and while he's coming to grips with his induction into this secret society that's just granted him immortality he realizes that the blackouts he's been having are where he's been killin people3 -

you should read the Brian Lumley Necroscope series- the vampires in it aren't really supernatural, they're based on an alien/slug/leech lifeform than can infect people which i always thought was pretty original, but the main protagonist is a human with psychic abilities who talks to the dead and eventually gains a bunch of other abilities including teleportation.2 -
