Dracula
A classic movie, with a beautiful set and the acting talent of none other than Bela Lugosi, made famous solely for his role as The Count. His intimidating stare may seem comical in this day and age, as do the ravings of Renfield, but they begin to gain an eerieness as the movie goes on, and even lend the viewer the same sense they might achieve going through a scripted haunt.
The dialogue is simple and direct, the story is clear and sets up for generations the Hollywood conventions for vampires.
While bearing similarities to the movie of the same title that features Winona Ryder, they are both based directly on the novel.
If you are a lover of vampire culture (for whatever reason) go back and see the classic, the original film version, or, hell.... check out the novel itself.
