Vant to test your vampire knowledge?
"Twilight" is the latest in a long line of vampire flicks to hit the silver screen. Some are true horror classics, from black and white chillers such as "Dracula's Daughter" and "I Vampiri" to latter day favorites like "Near Dark" and "Night Watch." A few are just plain fun.
