Some X-Men stories will remain on the page rather than the screen because they simply don't work as movies, or because of rights issues, or because they're simply too reliant on the series as a comic book than a film. Others, meanwhile, will continue to haunt the bottom of bargain bins cos they're terrible. Believe it or not, the mutant heroes have come up against vampires multiple times. You'd think their fellow mutants, supervillains, and anti-mutant hysteria would be enough for them to contend with (let alone Sentinels), but did you know they once fought Dracula? Like, literally Dracula? And not only that, but he wanted to make Storm his latest bride? Curse Of The Mutants reached the nadir of the X-Men/bloodsucker relationship, as a bomb full of vampire blood falls on San Francisco and turns a bunch of people undead. The X-Men go to look for Dracula's son with Blade for some reason. Maybe when Twilight was still big...
