My Top 20 Vampire List.

So, the other day someone posted a link on twitter to Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampire list, which caused a stir amongst fellow horror fans. Other blogs like www.ilovehorror.net and thevaultofhorror.blogspot.com/ both came up with their own list in response. So here is my attempt at making a list, hopefully with less suckage than EW's list.

First of all here is EW's list.

1. Lestat, Interview With the Vampire
2. Christopher Lee’s Dracula
3. Bela Lugosi’s Dracula
4. Edward Cullen, Twilight
5. Bill and Eric, True Blood
6. Asa Vajda, 1960’s Black Sunday
7. Angel
8. Mr. Barlow, Salem’s Lot
9. Schuyler Van Alen, Melissa de la Cruz’s Blue Bloods series
10. Gary Oldman’s Dracula
11. Klaus Kinski’s Dracula
12. Zoey Redbird, P.C. and Kristin Cast’s House of Night series
13. Jean-Claude, Laurel K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series
14. David, 1987’s The Lost Boys
15. Miriam Blaylock and Sarah Roberts, 1983’s The Hunger
16. Blade, the Blade trilogy
17. Eli, 2008’s Let the Right One In
18. Countess Bathory, 1971’s Daughters of Darkness
19. Selene, the Underworld trilogy
20. Caleb and Mae, 1987’s Near Dark

19. Santanico Pandemonium (From Dusk Till Dawn 1996)
20. Solina (Dracula 2000 2000)

Yeah there are some interesting choices on here like Selene being number 3, but since I'm pretty much in love with Kate Beckinsale anything she does ranks pretty high with me. You'll also notice some other pretty hot women on the list like number 16, 17, 19 and 20 mainly because...well I really shouldn't have to explain that.
