From John Carpenter's "Vampires" (1998) with Jack Crow (James Woods)
pontificating about vampires:

Jack Crow: You ever seen a vampire?
Father Adam Guiteau: No I haven't.
Jack Crow: No... Well first of all, they're not romatic. Its not
like they're a bunch of ****in' fags hoppin' around in rented formal
wear and seducing everybody in sight with cheesy Euro-trash accents,
all right? Forget whatever you've seen in the movies: they don't
turn into bats, crosses don't work. Garlic? You wanna try garlic?
You could stand there with garlic around your neck and one of these
buggers will bend you ****ing over and take a walk up your
strada-chocolata WHILE he's suckin' the blood outta your neck, all
right? And they don't sleep in coffins lined in taffata. You wanna
kill one, you drive a wooden stake right through his ****in' heart.
Sunlight turns 'em into crispy critters.

An earthy description but charming in a James Woods' sort of way...
