Definitely go for the Taylor Dayne version. Imagine if this had have been in the Batman musical (LOL, there I go again...)
I feel if Steinman had have produced the Meat Loaf version it would be 100% better than it already is. It just feels like Meat has taken all the subtlety of the song and turned it into a rock-out
His version is good but bland compared to the others. I also think Jim's original LITD kicks the cr!p out of Meat's, which doesn't even come close, and Streisand's take is even more frightening.
But ech...
Best version I've heard is "Tanz der Vampire". I love how it's a recurring motif
