TOP VAMPIRES

* In no particular order *

-LOST BOYS-
The whole gang, including Michael, Star and Laddie; "Holy shit! It's attack of Eddie Munster!" Which brings us to our next Vamp....

-GRANDPA MUNSTER-
ya gotta include GRANDPA MUNSTER!

-UNDERWORLD-
I thought VIKTOR saved that movie and can't wait to see him in Underworld 3, armored up and slaying Werewolves. Underworld 2 was a letdown but man, MARCUS was pretty sick flying around.-LESTAT-
I'm talking the BOOK version here. Personally, I had no problems with Tom Cruise's depiction in the movie. But nothing can beat the Lestat in the pages of those first 3 Anne Rice VampireChronicles.

- BLADE TRILOGY sported some nice Vamps, such as:
* QUINN: "I'm gonna be naughty. I'm gonna be a naughty vampire god!"
* REAPERS: From Blade II. I loved their freaky mutant split-mouths!
* DANICA TALOS: I just love Parker Posey, is all. "And how about everyone here not saying the word "dick" anymore? It provokes my envy."
* PEARL: Who can forget the obese vampire record keeper Pearl?! "La Magra is coming! The Spirits of the Twelve will awaken the Blood God!"

-COUNT VON COUNT-
From SESAME STREET! "Greetings! I am the Count. They call me the Count because I love to count things. 1 JimSmash Reader. 2 JimSmash Readers. 3 JIMSMASH READERS!! Ah-Ah-AH-AH!!!"

-TRUE BLOOD-
I must admit, I'm digging some of the vampires on HBO's new series "TRUE BLOOD" (although I'm not into the buck-tooth fangs). BILL is quickly becoming one of my favorites.... and MALCOLM quickly grew on me; "We're the new locals. And I. Am. Thirsty!"

-PAUL REUBENS-
As Amilyn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie). Come on - its Pee Wee!

-GARY OLDMAN-
Visually, Coppolla's Dracula was fantastic! Dracula in the Crimson Armor in the beginning was awesome!

-GEORGE HAMILTON-
From 1979's "Love At First Bite". "Creatures of the Night.... Shut up!"

-NOSFERATU-
Its hard to get more creepy than this!

-SALEM'S LOT-
It's hard to get more creepy than Nosferatu, but Salem's Lot comes close!

-BLACULA-
The 1972 Blaxpoitation cult classic!


-CHRISTOPHER LEE-
From "Horror of Dracula". Lee was able to break free from Lugosi's version and give us a more monsterous version of Dracula.

-BELA LUGOSI-
From Universal's classic 1931 "DRACULA". Lugosi cemented a look and approach that still defines the character Today. When people think "Dracula", most picture Lugosi's incarnation.
