THE VAMPIRE LIST: THE 20 TOP VAMPIRES OF ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY
As we know, vampires are all the rage. Horiwood’s theory is that vampires are so hot right now, because of the recession.
The last eight years of American politics, has vampired the next generation, who are growing up having to bear the consequences of repaying the debt of a mismanaged America. That’s over $1 trillion worth of debt. Meaning, that politicians in office did drink the future dreams and lifeblood of today’s tweens. Yes! It sucks!
But the good news is, that in this cultural climate of pop culture, vampires entertain us with their personal battles to be virtuous and good as they coexist in a world of humans that both frustrate and fascinate them.
Anyway… Entertainment Weekly, has listed their Top 20 Vampires. Here they are:
- Lestat, Interview With the Vampire
- Christopher Lee’s Dracula
- Bela Lugosi’s Dracula
- Edward Cullen, Twilight
- Bill and Eric, True Blood
- Asa Vajda, 1960’s Black Sunday
- Angel
- Mr. Barlow, Salem’s Lot
- Schuyler Van Alen, Melissa de la Cruz’s Blue Bloods series
- Gary Oldman’s Dracula
- Klaus Kinski’s Dracula
- Zoey Redbird, P.C. and Kristin Cast’s House of Night series
- Jean-Claude, Laurel K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series
- David, 1987’s The Lost Boys
- Miriam Blaylock and Sarah Roberts, 1983’s The Hunger
- Blade, the Blade trilogy
- Eli, 2008’s Let the Right One In
- Countess Bathory, 1971’s Daughters of Darkness
- Selene, the Underworld trilogy
- Caleb and Mae, 1987’s Near Dark
Robert Pattinson came in at #4, proving that there is nothing new under the sun. Vampires have been done hotly before in books, film and entertainment. True Blood’s vampires came in at #5. Not a bad list at all! Thanks EW!
Props to both Alan Ball and Stephenie Meyer: this generation’s entertainers of the vampy loving masses.
this is messed up. first of all, bill and eric shouldn’t be mentioned as one person. they’re completely different, and it’s just stupid. they should have their own numbers. eric should be four and bill should be five.
which leads me to a topic that i won’t be on long. there’s really no point in stressing it. but what the hell is *edward* doing before them anyway? why is edward even on the top of this list? he’s a crazy stalker. -_-’
THIRD OF ALL. why isn’t *spike* on this list? they have angel. why not put spike? spike is two thousand times better than angel. i would have at least expected to shove them together like they did with eric and bill. >.<
just saying.
