I own a very interesting book entitled "The Vampire Book - An Encyclopedia of the Undead". It's a very big book too, over 850 pages thick!

Anyway, I will be quoting out of this book from time to time. I hope I don't have to type all of the credits each time I do it. I'd rather not. Perhaps I'll refer to it as "The Vampire Book" and people can reference back to the details here...

Louis and Lestat were very handsome vampires too. And Louis was quite friendly towards humans. I always like movies with friendly vampires in them.

Well, not ALWAYS!!





I love the movie Interview with a Vampire.  Louis was beautiful and his relationship with Lestat was very sexually charged.  I believe it when Anne Rice said they were bisexual.   I never read the Anne Rice book, but the movie was a very sad movie.  And it kicked Vampire butt!  ;)

Funny you should start this thread now, David, because I just bought the complete (and only  :( ) season of Moonlight on DVD. My favorite "vamp" ever is L.A. vampire P.I. Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin).  :D

Interview With the Vampire was the only Rice novel I've ever read. I never read another because her style drove me, well, ... batty.  ;D

I liked Gary Oldman, but that Dracula annoyed me for the petty reason that, as I remember it, many if not most of the costumes were at least 20 years or more "too old" for its 1890s setting. What can I say? I notice stuff like that.  :-\

Then (of course) we have Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Kendra.

This character was never fully explored in my opinion.

In an earlier episode, Buffy dies, and Xander revives her.  Before he completes this, the call goes out for a new slayer, and that slayer is Kendra.

She assists Buffy, and in a later episode is killed by Drusilla.  Her death results in Faith being called to be a slayer.

Of course I think the SEXIEST vampire right now is Edward Cullen from Twilight!


And he's a very friendly vampire too!





I just started reading the first book of the Twilight series. My daughter already has read all existing books, God and his brother are talking about them at the moment. So last week, when I was at Newark airport, waiting for my flight back to Germany, I bought it.

I've only read 70 pages so far. I kinda like it, but I think like Harry Potter, it shows that the target audience are teenagers. I never got the whole Harry Potter thing. To me it was children's books and I gave up after 1.5 books.


But I digress. We're talking vampires here!

I liked Intervirew With The Vampire, both book and movie.

But the only really frightening vampire ever was Klaus Kinski's Nosferatu:








But then, Kinski himself was always creepy to me. Boy, you should have seen him in German talk shows ::).
