Vampires might have experienced an explosion in popularity in the mid-2000s, but they’ve always been lurking in the darkness. From the vampy (and campy) 1960s soap opera Dark Shadows to modern series like Interview With The Vampire (which is in the midst of its second season), the genre just won’t die. And luckily, there’s something for everyone: True Blood boasts steamy romance, Preacher gets violent AF, and What We Do In The Shadows has one of the best comedic ensembles going. Here are our 25 favorite vampire shows. Dig in.
