A question about movie vampires??!
Question: Does anyone happen to know what might be the first vampire film to show the creature with sharp teeth. I know that the original silent film Nosferatu showed the vampire with sharp teeth up front like a rat but what about the first movie to show a vampire's sharp...I think they're called canine teeth???

...a very interesting question, indeed; I don't think that I've ever really given that piece of curiosity much thought, but if I had to render a guess as to what I think that the first vampire movie to show sharp canine teeth, it might possibly be one of the old South of the Border vampire films (...this was before any of the Christopher Lee/Hammer films), which featured an actor by the name of German Robles. I think that one of the first films he did, was actually called "The Vampire"...
(edit)
...a-ha!!! Looks like I might have been correct in this assumption; check out this webpage, as it even speculates in the script, that "El Vampiro", from 1957, might have been the first film to feature a vampire's sharp canines...
Dracula the Vampire.
30 days of night
good movie and thay have sharp teeth
'the horror of dracula'...1958 with christopher lee playin' the count...
before that...showin' vampire's canines (or the actual bitin') was considered a no-no in hollywood movies...
as a matter of fact...bela lugosi (who played dracula in only 2 movies) never wore fangs for the role...
