TIMELINE

The Historian, the 2005 vampire best seller, will be adapted as a movie by Sony. Here's a look at other big-screen remakes of vampire fiction:

TRANSYLVANIA LEGEND: The first of many films officially based on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, the 1931 version of Dracula, with Bela Lugosi in the title role, became an instant classic. The film's horrific scenes allegedly caused audience members to faint at the premiere.

GOTH FAVORITE: A love triangle between a doctor and a blood-drinking couple is the focus of the 1983 film The Hunger, based on Whitley Strieber's novel. Not well received at first, the modern, glamorous spin on vampires has given the movie a cult following today.

VAMPIRE DYNASTY: Anne Rice's hugely popular Vampire Chronicles series of novels, most of which focus on French-nobleman-turned-vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, spawned two blockbuster hits--Interview with the Vampire in 1994 and Queen of the Damned in 2002.
