Of course, the first time I ever thought of the possibility of a vampire as sexy was Frank Langella back in the late 1970s. All Byronic angst.  ;D

YES!!

Yes Yes Yes!!

I remember Frank Langella too Jeff.

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






I LOVED Angel!! I was really sorry to see him go. And surpisingly, I never really got into the "Angel" series. And yeah, I really liked Spike too. :D

I have the first four seasons of Buffy on DVD. I've been meaning to get the rest of them but I haven't done it yet.

now that picture just makes me think of Langella's role as Nixon:

If only for contrast, I recommend the 1922 Nosferatu.  Very creepy, and beautiful visually, all German Expressionism, great shadows and angles.  I saw it in college, complete with bizarre soundtrack. 







I think another interesting thing about Nosferatu is that the "fangs" are the vampire's front teeth instead of the usual canines. It does look to me like it would be easier to puncture somebody's throat with extralong, sharp front teeth than with the canines.

That's probably true Jeff, but the canine fangs are much much cuter! ;)

GAWD that picture is HOT!! :laugh:

WHOOOOO!! :P

I loved The Lost Boys. I have it on DVD. It had a distinct comedic element to it as well - what I'd call a dark comedy. Corey Haim was very cute in it, and I've been a die hard Keifer fan for years and years. :)
