Before Twilight and The Vampire Diaries brought vampires to the masses, there was the extremely popular Vampire Chronicles. Written by Anne Rice, this book series thrilled vampire fans of the late '70s and early '80s. Rice imbued her vampires with personalities as strong and unique as their names -- the fatherly Marius, the prophetess Maharet, the original emo boy Louis, the witch Tarquin, and the golden god and primary antihero of the series, Lestat.

The books were so popular that three of them were brought to the silver screen -- Interview With The Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and The Queen Of The Damned. Interview With The Vampire came first and is widely considered to be the better adaptation. However, there are many fans who enjoy Queen Of The Damned more.
