31. Just as "Salem's Lot" was a genre-bender at the time...

"Let the Right One In" took 'vampirism' into another genre-bender with a lot of thought-provoking psychological issues - a really, really interesting spin.

Anne Rice falls in there somewhere.

I really enjoy books and movies that bite back!
