I agree with Bloodrayne on the Anne Rice style of vamps. She completely ruined the vampire-genre (caused a bunch of freaks to start running about claiming to be vampires because that was the only way they could pick up a chick (who was equally the freak).

But I don't like the bloodthirsty monstrosities that are the recent vampires. They're just not as scary as the classic Stoker-style vampire. If you think about it, the vampire's good looks and charm are a necessary componenet for his survival. He must be accepted by humanity if he is going to hunt, otherwise he will just make himself known as a monster and be constantly hunted. His charm not only deters suspicion, but also aids him in attracting prey (like a cobra, who mesmerizes its victims before striking.) Besides, with this type of vampire, you get the feel that it could be real ... as opposed to some beasts running about slaughtering everything in sight.

Jerry Dandridge, in Fright Night, was the perfect vampire for my tastes.

My favorite is Christopher Lee. He comes across as a sophisticated, polite gentleman with a lonely type of charm able to seduce his victims with just a stare. But don't let a first impression fool you, when it's time to strike he is a deadly, cold-blooded, soulless blood sucker!!!!! Beautiful isn't it??????

Anne Rice is the closest to an ideal vampire for me.... Sexy, sultry, intelligent, cunning ... nice clothes, nice digs..

Yeah but ... they have a conscience, for chrissake. Don't give me some weepy, crybaby vampire ... sheesh. I mean, you can DO it, but leave that shit on Lifetime so I won't be tricked into watching it.

That's why I like them.. I like my vampires to have a human side.. Makes them that much more sexy and alluring.

Trench coats help.

In my opinion, it ceases to be a horror movie when you not only sympathize with the evil ... but also fall in love with it. Then it just becomes some teenage romance rip-off.

I agree with you to a point... But I have a 21 year old love affair with vampires...
