#4. Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter
This one was a pleasant surprise. Sure it's cheesy, and slow in places, and pretty simple, (and Kronos not only has a katana for no damn reason at all, but also mistreats it criminally) but I liked the vampire mystery. My first guess was right, but they pulled a nice misdirect, and I liked the Durward siblings. (Possibly I have a weakness for a blond and a redhead with just a hint of incest.)
The more I think about it, I'd kinda like to write a version of this. I need to figure out an interesting treatment/woodshedding of the silent & emoroad warrior vampire hunter type, and a good setting. I was already contemplating building another universe for oldskool werewolves, vampires in formal wear, and Peter Cushing's cheekbones...
