Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter probably qualifies for the
crazy/humorous/eccentric category.  The cast is
obviously having fun, and it features kung-fu scenes,
lesbian vampires, a musical number and El Santo the
exican wrestler, but it's really amateurish.

I haven't seen it yet, but a number of people have
recommended Ginger Snaps, the Canadian werewolf movie
to me.

Personally, if classics can extend to the 60s and 70s,
I've always felt you can't go wrong with a Hammer
flick.  Why not try The Vampire Lovers based on the
Sheridan LeFanu story Carmilla?  Or any of the
Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing Dracula movies (except
maybe the one set in late 60s early 70s London with
Stephanie Beacham as the female lead.  That one's
really only worth it for camp value).

For something a little different, there's a nice
animated version of Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Trre.
