Pop Culture Vampire list

Post by jdudley118 » Wed Jul 18, 2012 12:07 pm

I came across this article from livescience this morning and thought you all should check it out.

I agree with a hand full of those on the list.

They included Edward but not Eli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to for give them for not including Eli, because Eli is relatively new, but now I won't.

I know right! I was happy to see the count on there as well!

I also felt the same way about how they had Edward on there. The rest of them were alright!

I was a little disappointed that they didn't have Blade on there as well. To each his own I guess!

Well the list seems very racist and sexist - not one female or non-white person.
Dracula's "soul brother" for one-

Ah yes Blacula, the list was racist by not including other races, but the blaxploition films of the 70s were pretty racists too. I would think Aaliyah from Queen of the Damned would have been a good choice and as I said before, Blade. Even Eddie Murphy from Vampire in Brooklyn. I mean even Antonio Banderas from Interview with the Vampire. I know some of these might be a stretch but including a few would have been better.

Glad that Bill is on the list.His character development is very interesting to watch.And Lestat in my opinion is the undisputed King of the modern vampires.

I usually loathe these lists, but this one gets some points for including Edvard Munch's 'Vampire' in the article.The painting was mentioned in "Let The Old Dreams Die".
