You Voted: 15 Best Vampires

Written by: TheM

Recently I did an editorial on the Sexiest Vampires in Film with a focus on the ladies and as a followup I turned to our large community of Facebook Horror Gurus and asked you all who you thought were the Best Male Vampire characters and the actors that played them.

This list of the 15 Best Vampires is a result of that question. I have taken all of the answers and compiled them into this Top 15 list with the help of an abacus and a calculator. I can tell you that the bottom 10 were all within a few points of each other and the Top 5 had easily 80% of the combined vote. Put simply the Top 5 almost everyone agreed on! So with no further ado here is the list;

#15) Willem Dafoe in Shadow of the Vampire

#14) Bill Nighy The Underworld Movies

#13) Louis Jourdon in Count Dracula (1977)

#12) Klaus Kinski in Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979)

#11) Max Schreck in Nosferatu (1922)

#10) Rutger Hauer in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992)

#9) Chris Sarandon in Fright Night (1985)

#8) Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire

#7) Tom Crusie in Interview with a Vampire

#6) Wesley Snipes in Blade

#5) Lance Henricksen in Near Dark

#4) Bela Lugosi ( This one needs no explanation )

#3) Kiefer Sutherland in Lost Boys

#2) Gary Oldman in 1992′s Dracula

#1) Christopher Lee

So there you have it the 15 Best Vampires based on the votes of or nearly 14,000 strong Facebook Community. Who do you think we missed? And by we I mean our massive horror community who all voted to generate this list. If you did not vote fear not we do these weekly and you can be included in our next one!

    Although he’s in a remake, you neglected to mention Colin Farrel in “Fright Night”. He did a fantastic job.

    I cannot believe that Bela Lugosi did not finish first.. All voters should be required to study Horror 101.

    I’m suprised Edward Cullen didn’t make the list……………….nah, i’m only pulling your leg!! lol

    Special mention should go to the ’30 Days’ vamps…….primal and brutal.
