10 Best Horror Romances

Revolving entirely around Dracula's sexy ways, Francis Ford Coppola's take on the legend sees Dracula develop a far more romantic edge than the vampires of the past. Obsessed with finding his long lost love Elisabeta, Gary Oldman fervently attempts to get his hands on the very lovely Mina, a reincarnation of his wife hundreds of years after he originally lost her to a Romeo and Juliet-esque suicide.

Instead of being intent on dipping his fangs into any buxom woman that crosses his path, Dracula is less a saucy scoundrel and far more a creature driven by deep-seated love, with the movie a declaration of his passion throughout the ages for this one beguiling woman. Instead of running for our lives from a nasty, bite-y, blood-sucking monster from the underworld, Coppola makes us low-key wish there was a partner out there as dedicated as old batsy is to Elisabeta, that culminates in a touching realisation that she's just as into him, too. They're some real ones.
