Jason Patric
Appears in: The Lost Boys (1987)
Tomatometer: 77%

Joel Schumacher's 1987 cult classic The Lost Boys had more than a few magic elements going for it: a gang of modern-day punk vamps, a hunky 21-year-old Jason Patric (or, if you prefer, a hunky 21-year-old Kiefer Sutherland), and the two Coreys! The comedy-horror tale of brothers (Corey Haim and Patric) who stumble upon a network of vampires in a seaside California town benefited from its teen idol cast -- which included actress Jami Gertz in her hottie heyday -- as much as it did from the eternally-quotable Frog brothers (played by Jamie Newlander and Corey Feldman). But Patric's tortured, drool-worthy performance as the half-vampire Michael (not to mention his sweltering love scene with Gertz' Star) earned him a spot on our Tiger Beat-plastered walls -- and made us think we wouldn't mind drinking a little vampire blood wine ourselves.

Monica Bellucci
Appears in: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Tomatometer: 81%

Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola's sensuous vampire flick, makes a key point about the Count: It's not the worst gig in the world. Sure, you have to suck blood, live in the dark, and avoid garlic, but there's hardly a shortage of female companionship. In BSD, Dracula (Gary Oldman) is hot for Mina (Winona Ryder) and Lucy (Sadie Frost), but when he's not ravaging innocents, he's got three hot wives waiting at home -- among them Monica Bellucci, who made her English language debut here. Despite their vivaciousness, however, the brides come with a downside: they're always nagging the poor count to get them more blood.

It's too bad you couldn't include the actual Monica Bellucci clip. Mmmmm.... I guess we could have run into some complaints if we had, though.

South Park has once again explained one of the most important ills plaguing our country today: Vampire douches.

I didn't like Bram Sotker's Dracula. Really too slow, and when I was comparing it to what I remembered fro the novel, it didn't really make sense.

I agree Monica Belluci is hot tough.

But I must say that the most sexiest vampire I've ever seen is Vampire Willow from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

I liked Francis Fords version. Yes it was flawed especially with Neo's performance, but it had greatness to it I thought. Oldman kicked *** as Count,Anthony Hopkins was a cool Vanhelsing, the movie was great visually, and had super hot vamps instead of stupid ones like in Vanhelsing.

The South Park episode was priceless...

*looks forward to goths burning down Hot Topics the world over*

"The Hunger," while a bit vacuous, was, simply put, hot. Catherine Deneuve and a young Susan Sarandon having a sexy party? Count me in.

Monica Belluci could play a decaying zombie and she'd still be smoking.

It is only 9:10 in this part of the world. I am trying to stay awake long enough to watch it. Especially since this is the season ending.

OMFG. i loved the new episode. I texted a friend (male Twilight fan) and i told him and he said "thats not funny. People can like a book Rachel. just like you are allowed to dislike it. I dont want to hear it, im trying to stop being so negative." which made the episode 10,000x more funny.

South Park is WIN!

I can't believe Innocent Blood only got 42%. That was a great movie. . .

Can you believe Angelina Jolie has never played a vampire? That's, like, the one thing she was born to do. Her and Kat Dennings. Together. Doing stuff.

Glad to see Soledad Miranda on the list. She is one of the most beautiful women in the history of cinema.

Lauren Hutton in Once Bitten? Maybe I'm just showing my weakness for 80s women.

"Let The Right One In" looks FAR more enticing than this Twilight crap. Appears to be the true gothic love story that it needs to be.

True, but I don't think we're quite ready to place 12-year olds into the "sexy vampire" category.

-Keanu Reeve's British accent was priceless. Did anyone notice that they completely omitted him from the trailer?

-Monica Bellucci was at one point my ideal woman. But then I saw her in Shoot 'Em Up and something, I don't know, broke, about her appeal to me.

-The final fight between Dracula and the hunters was short, but genuinely awesome action for the time.

-Watching Winona Ryder getting hot and bothered by green mist is to this day one of the most sexually arousing things I have ever seen. I think I was so young when I saw it that it really stuck with my. I should tell my therapist. Hah.

Confounded, you're dead right. The second I went to this article, those were the two names I was looking to see if they forgot (Hutton, Davis). I watched those both religiously in the '80s, and to this day, still get the Transylvania song stuck in my head at inappropriate times.

I while I was hoping to not mention any guy-vamps you forgot, I liked how Gerald Butler's Dracula had a certain sexiness about him in Dracula 2000. Although that could just be some sort of sexy interference that I was feeling from Jennifer Exposito, Jerry Ryan & Vitamin C. Yeah, for the sake of me not disturbing myself, lets just include the women.

BSD was visually appealing, but it ran away from the storyline of the book in certain places making my dislike it.
