Dark Shadows coming soon, Favorite Vampire in Cinema:

My favorite vampire would have to be, for the moment anyways, Gary Oldman's take on Dracula in Dracula (1992).

This is a tough choice because I love Vampires in general. Well I love Eric from TrueBlood but that's not "cinema" so maybe I'd have to go with one of the Interview with a Vampire characters. Tie between Louie (Brad Pit) and Claudia (Kristen Dust). I loved the style of the movie how it moved thru the eras of our times and all and their characters really drew you in.

Bill Paxton was great in Near Dark, for some reason I always forget about that when I try and think of Vampire movies.

Yeah, I think it's because it's a very contemporary road movie take on the genre that plays more like a werewolf flick. No fangs, just crusty hillbillies with attitude.

I can hardly pick just one as Im a huge vampire movie fan and i dont mean vampire as in Twilight. I mean vampire as in:

Lestat from Interview with a Vampire (Tom Cruise)
Dracula from Brams strokers Dracula (Gary Oldman)
David from The lost boys (Kiefer Sutherland)
Kit and Cym from The Forsaken ( Jonathon Schaech & Phina Oruche)
Deacon Frost from Blade (Stephen dorff)

These are Kick ass vampires. They are the baddies but atleast they dont sparkle. LOL

Eli was such an awesome Vampire and also the cutest and most innocent looking Vampire IMO.

Lena Olin as Maharet in The Queen of The Damned




Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I was a sucker for that show! Idk if it counts though)




Kate Beckinsale - Selene Underworld

it took several people for someone to say selena. shes fav woman vamp.

Lila Leanderson's Eli fosho

Yes very cute & innocent, but Claudia so wins the cute and innocent vampire award.

I love the women vampires because I always feel like they have some women bad*** role. The only role I think I really hated was Akasha in Queen of the Damned played by Aaliyah. She was too slinky for me. lol

I forgot I also loved watching Let Me In! Chloe Grace Moretz is such a creepy vampire, it made it really fun to watch!



I still haven't seen Let The Right One In, but hopefully I will soon!

Collin Farrell as Jerry in Fright Night (2011 remake) and the fantastic Bill Nighy as Viktor in the Underworld series (though his best in my opinion was Rise Of The Lycans) after that...it's probably Kate Beckinsale.

Let The Right One In is significantly better than the remake and much more close to the book.
