Welcome to the Century of the Vampire, an ongoing weekly feature where Goonhammer managing editor Jonathan Bernhardt watches some piece of vampire media, probably a movie but maybe eventually television will get a spot in here too, and talks about it at some length in the context of both its own value as a piece of art and as a representation of the weird undead guys that dominate western pop culture who aren’t (usually) zombies.
Which vampire movies he watches is chosen by a vote of our patrons over on our Patreon; you can help influence the process by signing up over there and participating in the monthly poll to make him watch something like the terrible Klaus Kinski sequel to Nosferatu the Vampyre, while Blade sits on the shelf for the 20th consecutive week.

- Nosferatu (2024), dir. Robert Eggers
- Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), dir. F.W. Murnau
