Speaking of body horror and vampires, there's a film called Society that you may find interesting, Oz. Its premise is basically, "what if the rich and powerful were literally soulless monsters feeding off of the lower classes?"
And I think that's interesting because that's the basic premise behind vampires. They're usually portrayed as cultured aristocrats living in decadent, decaying castles, who only go out to feed off of the local peasants who live in fear of them (when they're not revolting with torches and pitchforks in hand). And they're often hyper-sexual, too. Society is basically a modern updating of the vampire legends of old, where the monsters are upper-class yuppies who are secretly shapeshifting, cannibalistic, sexually depraved monsters.

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
