Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we look at at the many blood-draining Vampire stories to see how a sub-genre can continually reinvent itself in order to stay immortal.

Our collection includes:

• Blade by David S. Goyer
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer – “Welcome to the Hellmouth” by Joss Whedon
• Doctor Sleep by Mike Flanagan
• Dracula – “The Rules of the Beast” by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat
• From Dusk till Dawn by Quentin Tarantino
• Interview with the Vampire – “In Throes of Increasing Wonder…” by Rolin Jones
• Let Me In by Matt Reeves
• Near Dark by Eric Red and Kathryn Bigelow
• Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch
• Shadow of the Vampire by Steven Katz
• The Lost Boys by Jeffrey Boam
• The Vampire Diaries – “Pilot” by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec
