Have you ever watched The Strain on FX? Guillermo Del Toro. An imported gigantic vampire from the Balkans that is aided and abetted by a rich industrialist to take over the world. Pretty creepy take on vampires.
Yes I did and loved both the book and Series although, again, the series failed to deliver. Another good one is The Passage by Justin Cronin.

Another of my favorites and another that was shot here in New Mexico is John Carpenters The Vampires. Now why they, vampires, would want to be in a state that gets about 330 days of sunlight a year, 30 Days of Night makes way more sense, but its still very good and a lot of fun.

S2 of Shrinking on Apple TV begins today. A fun, good show, Harrison Ford is hysterical in it. Also good news, Slow Horses will have a season 6!

I read salems lot when I was a boy. Scared the f out of me

I waited a bit to get into this and glad I did - really, really good IMO. Has a sort of 'beginning of the Soprano's' feel to it with The Penguin sort of a mid-level lieutenant in the Falcone crime family looking to make a move when a power vacuum emerges (through some action of his own). But, he wasn't counting on the return of 'The Hangman', Sofia Falcone (daughter of dead mob boss Carmine Falcone), who has returned from Arkham Asylum after a decade, and how she starts to insert herself back into family politics/business (she has an existing relationship with Penguin as it's revealed he was her driver for many years). She's played by the incredible Christin Milioti (calling it now - Emmy nod for this), whose origin story (of sorts) in Episode 4 5 is one of the highest rated IMDB episodes ever (and with good reason - it's a banger). I think being able to watch all of this a couple episodes at a time is better than waiting week to week - pick it up again and at least get to episode 5 ('Cent'anni') before bailing for good...

Her origin story was E4. I agree it was outstanding as is the show.
