Zombies vs. the nazis?
Zombies vs. the Nazis vs. Predator vs. Aliens vs. Judge Dredd vs. Abraham Lincoln vs. Godzooki vs. Teen Wolf vs. Braveheart.

I still rage at the horrors of that series, even if typically it was sorta starting to pick up just as it was cancelled, the first five or six episodes doomed it to failiure. Pains me to think of how they wasted the backstory of VtM with that drivel, bloody Spelling shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near it.

How they hell do you set up a VtM storyline for TV and immediately banish Tremere and Malki's as they are deemed 'too dodgy' for a TV show about bloody Vampires. Utter fail.

Regarding the OP, aye totally burned out on them, Underworld was the last one which was half deccent, and as Chromedog noted, that was probably only because it was more like the World of Darkness than it should have been.

EDIT - According to wikipedia, the only thing kappas like eating more than babies is... drum roll... cucumbers! Seriously, how could you not make a great film with these guys in it?

I thought they made a Kappa movie?

Or are you telling me TMNT aren't about Kappas after all??!

Runnin up on ya.

Kappas aren't scary, you just knock them down and spill the water out of their heads and they dry up.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do

They're scary if they grab you while you're swimming!

Unless you're into this:

"They feed on these victims by sucking out their shirikodama (尻子玉?), a mythical ball inside the anus."

Don't forget to gild the lily with this little bit here:

As drowning victims were sometimes found with a distended anus (swollen rectal), the Kappa is also sometimes called the shirokodama (anus) vampire. In some tales, the Kappa is associated with theft and raping women.

Japanese folklore is a barrel of laughs!

The only vampire that I think is worth my time (since the days of Hammer anyway...) is Cassidy from the Preacher comic series.

Read the books. My wife says they're infinitely better than True Blood ever was. Apparently mostly because the series raped the characters and turned them into typical hollywood drivel vs what they were originally.
