30 Days of Night movie

After an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.

30 Days of Night was initially a miniseries of horror comics written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith and published by IDW Publishing in 2002. All three parties co-own the property. The series takes place in Barrow, Alaska, which is so far north that during the winter the sun does not rise for 30 days. The premise of the series is that vampires (who are harmed by the sun) move to Barrow and terrorize the area.

The series was a break out success story for Steve Niles, whose previous works had received relatively little attention. It was also the first major length work for co-creator Ben Templesmith, who found the property to be a career defining moment.Plot30 Days of Night was a three issue mini-series that jump-started the careers of writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith in which vampires flock to a small town in Alaska where the sun sets for 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. When the vampire elder Vicente learns of this plan, he travels to Barrow to end the feeding, in order to preserve the secrecy of vampires. Because of the cold, the vampires senses are weakened and a few of the towns residents are able to hide. One such resident is sheriff Eben Olemaun, who saves the town by injecting vampire blood into his veins. He uses his enhanced strength to fight Vicente, saving the lives of the few remaining townspeople, including his wife Stella.
