Not ridiculous but unexpected is the story of the TV show "Caro Nostra".
This story is about ogres, not vampires but at the same time it is definitly a vampire story. The vampire who want to be close to the human world, the girl that is somehow special, the forbiden love story that cause a broken balance in the equilibrum of the vampire world, the police looking at a weird murder spray that seems to go back to 50 years ago, the old acquintaince that actually grow old... This is definitly a vampire story.
But at the same time, since it is not vampires, the mythology behind the monster feels totally new and that's very catching.
