Scratch that! Vincent Valentine from the games 'Final Fantasy 7' and 'Dirge of Cerberus'. He's so hot!

My favorite is vampire character is Anita Blake's
Jean Claude in Laurell Hamilton's books.
I also thought Kiefer Sutherland played a hot vampire in the old Lost Boys movie.

Tom Cruise did indeed do a great job as Lestat...however I was enamored with Louis and his struggle. I must say that the best job was done by Kirsten Dunst as Claudia. She was such a predator and so darling.

My favorit vampire character is Dracula, the myth of Stocker's. I like that there are some connections between myth and history when talking about Dracula. Stoker came across some information about vampire beliefs in Transylvania which he used in the novel. But Stoker did not make up the name "Dracula". Every myth has an origin somewhere in the reallity. There was a Dracula in the 15th century: Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes in Romanian language), descended from Basarab the Great, a fourteenth-century prince who is credited with having founded the state of Wallachia, part of present-day Romania. This name, from the Turkish nickname "kaziklu bey" ("impaling prince"), was used by Ottoman chroniclers of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries because of Vlad's fondness for impalement as a means of execution. In 1431, the senior Vlad (the futher) received a honor: the initiation into the Order of the Dragon. Vlad then took on the nickname "Dracul". The Wallachian word "dracul" was derived from the Latin "draco" meaning "the dragon". The younger Vlad adopted the name "Dracula" indicating "son of Dracul" or "son of the Dragon". Vlad Dracula is the name he liked to use about himself, most probably and not Vlad the Impaler. Stocker who never visited Wallachia came across his name in a book he was researching entitled AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRINCIPALITIES OF WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA (1820). His name was Vlad The Impaler and his bloodthirsty exploits may have led him to being linked with the legends of blood- drinking vampires!

Jean-Claude from Anita Blake series.....and I also like Lucien in the Carpathian series from Christine Feehan. I've just always had a fascination with vampire books as far back as I can remember, it's my preferred genre to read.... I can't wait for the newest book from Charlaine Harris to come out in paperback either, I just love vampire Bill, he's hilarious!
