1. Bob Novakula

He hasn't done the movie, but he feeds on human blood all the same.

[MrScorpio]

Because he got ALL the hot babes

in "Shadow of the Vampire."

6. Either Gary Oldman, or Rudolf Martin

There is a made-for-cable movie called 'The Dark Prince' that was just on SciFi network. It's kind of a period-piece movie (cable-style) about Vlad the Impaler, ie., Dracula. Rudolf Martin is Vlad.

There's a twist at the end that blows away any attempt at a historical movie, but all-in-all, it was interesting to see Dracula portrayed as a tormented hero -- kind of like a prototypical 'Dark Knight'.

8. Bela

[Kahuna]

9. I saw a young, drop dead gorgeous Raul Julia on Broadway..

in 1978. Caramba!!!! :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: But since he isn't on this poll, I'll go with Frank Langella who originated the part on Broadway.

10. Schreck, Nosferatu

11. William Marshall (Blacula)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. How about Leon Spinks?

who was nicknamed "Blacula" by Mohammed Ali because all that remained of his upper teeth were his canines. I'm not implying that he was actually a vampire but I thought Ali's description was funny.

17. Right on!

Those films were a hoot!

[Dukkha]

13. There should be a moratorium in Hollywood on Vampire movies

"Shadow of the Vampire" was the last good one.

Everything else in the past 10 years absolutely SUCKED!

Van Helsing
Underworld
Queen of the Damned
Blade
From Dusk Till Dawn
Dracula 2000
John Carpenter Vampires
Bordello of Blood

You get the idea how Hollywood has taken the greatest monster in the horror genre and bastardized it into an embarrassing pathetic campy cliche.

14. Frank Langella. He can bite my neck anytime.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. You should add Jack Palance

He was in a television production of Dracula in the 1973. Like Gary Oldman in the Coppola film, he played the vampire as a suffering romantic, only more sucessfully.

[WI_DEM]

18. oh yes, I remember he was very good

[Ramsey]

16. Rudolf Martin

Played a pretty killer Dracula on the Buffy episode, Buffy vs. Dracula.

In a movie version I like Willem Dafoe in Shadow of the Vampire.

My favorite vampire character is probably Lestat in the Anne Rice books, although I certainly cannot endorse Tom Cruise's portrayal of him. That was one of the worst casting decisions ever made for a major movie adaptation. Hell, Stuart Townsend played a better Lestat in that awful movie version of Queen of the Damned. (No offense to the deceased, but Aaliyah was terrible!).
