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
Now for my list.
1. Count Graf Orlock (Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens 1922)
2. Gary Oldman's Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992)
3. Selene (Underworld 2003, Underworld: Evolution 2006)
4. Christopher Lee's Dracula (Various movies)
5. Severen (Near Dark 1987)
6. Jerry Dandrige (Fright Night 1985)
7. Eli (Let the Right One In 2008)
8. Klaus Kinski's Dracula (Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht 1979)
9. Duncan Regehr's Dracula (The Monster Squad 1987)
10. Bela Lugosi's Dracula
11. Mr. Barlow (Salem's Lot)
12. Marius de Romanus (The Vampire Chronicles)

15. Amilyn (Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1992)
16. Space Girl (Lifeforce 1985)
17. Monica Bellucci's Dracula's Bride (Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992)
18. Leslie Nielsen's Dracula (Dracula: Dead and Loving It 1995)
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.

Hey Josh,
I wanted to let you in on a horror movie your readers might enjoy reading about. It’s called “The Shortcut” and it arrived on DVD on 9/29.
So what’s the movie about? Good question. The premise is simple: A group of teens, on their way home from school, come across a rarely-used shortcut. Turns out it’s rarely-used for a reason. An old man who’s owned a farm there his whole life doesn’t take kindly to visitors. And if you think you know what’s coming next, you have no idea.
Unlike a lot of recent horror flicks, “The Shortcut” has no big special effect budgets or gratuitous violence. The movie’s thrills are created by its creepiness and atmosphere; it builds suspense instead of raising the body count. I’d compare it more to “Halloween” or classic Hitchcock than “Saw” or “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” “The Shortcut” is subtle, smart, and, with its hot cast--including Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”) and heartthrob Drew Seeley (“Another Cinderella Story”)—a great date movie.
I think your fans will enjoy hearing about this movie, which puts a twist on traditional urban legend stories. If you ’d like some more info on the cast and story, check out theshortcutmovie.com. Also, feel free to email me back at markshortcutmovie@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to arrange an interview with director Nicholaus Goossen.
Cheers,
Mark
