Worlds Best Vampire Movie?

Their look also changes depending on how recently they've fed.

I'd never thought of The Lair of the White Worm as a vampire film. I've read the book, which is quite hard work but has some good moments, and although the villains have certain vampire-like qualities they're even less vampiric than Lady Sylvia in the film, with all the bloodletting that goes on in the visions for example. Perhaps it's simply the association with Bram Stoker that makes people think 'vampires' but to me the film at least is more about human sacrifice and the worship of a dark god.

I'd compare it to perhaps the most familiar snake-worshippers on film in Conan the Barbarian – where Thulsa Doom leads a Set cult and can also turn into a massive snake.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (Coppola)
Gary Oldman is awesome.

To me a child of the wyrm is a child of the wyrm,

besides I wasn't trying to be super serious about this, as per my inclusion of VL and Bordello of Blood. I just picked loosely to allow for my favourites

I always thought the word wyrm also meant a dragon

Wyrm is used to refer to serpents specifically. Dragons are then referred to as wyrms because of their serpent-like nature.

the phrase "child of the wyrm" which is unusual and I've never heard before in relation to vampires.

I think they made that up.

It reminds me of the title Son of the Dragon, a Doctor Who audio with James Purefoy as Vlad the Impaler.

Probably the same type a deal.

Oddly enough there was also a mediocre, pastiche story a couple of years ago called Trail of the White Worm.

I definitely think of Chinese and Japanese dragons when we're talking about serpentine wyrms.

A 2 legged dragon is called a Wyvern.
