The Vampire Craze: An In Depth Analysis Of The Hottest Male Vampires
Tom Cruise David Boreanaz Jason Dohring Ian Samerhalder Aidan Turner
Eric Northman Ethan Hawke Keifer Sutherland James Marsters Robert Pattinson
Brace yourselves.
This may come as a complete shock.
Vampires are sort of, what's the word, in right now. I mean, if you haven't
been living in Antarctica this past year, you may have noticed a very
obvious trend. Remember way back in the day when every guy wanted to be Neo
from The Matrix because he had that cool trench coat and could do sweet
flips? Those days are long gone. Today it's all about fangs and an aversion
to sunlight. Goth is back. Pale is the new tan.
And really, we shouldn't be all that surprised. Vampires are hot. They
don't age. They look good in black. Some of them have inner-turmoil issues.
Granted, they drink blood and that's kind of gross, but so are hot dogs and
most of us love those. Who are we to judge?
Let's embrace this trend. Instead of rolling our eyes at the plethora of
Twilight memorabilia lining the walls of every store, let's take a moment
and analyze why there is so much Twilight memorabilia lining the walls of
every store. And I'm not talking about dissecting the literary merits of
the books (because what would I write about after the first paragraph?).
Instead, I want to focus purely on sex appeal (you know, what's important).
Costume and make-up designers work hard to create these gorgeous male
bloodsuckers, and it's time to give them credit where credit is due. Here's
a countdown of the greatest, most stunning, most please-bite-me-now
creatures of the night ever. I'll tell you what works, what doesn't work,
and why I want - no, need - to be alone in a dark alley with them.
Jump to Top 5
20. Stuart Townsend as Lestat in Queen of the Damned
He's no Edward Cullen. Stuart Townsend plays Lestat not with boyish good
looks and designer sunglasses, but with very pale features, long hair, and
incredibly intense eyes. In fact, they may be a little hypnotic. Anne
Rice's Lestat is a bad ass. He's a killer. He's on the fringe of society,
and unlike the soft and cuddly vampires we've become familiar with of late,
he loves the taste of blood. I don't care how sweet and innocent the girl,
Lestat will never go vegetarian. Costume designers and make-up artists have
managed to combine the bad boy image with obvious sex appeal. In mesh tops,
black leather pants, and tattoos, here is the vampire you should probably
never invite inside, but hey, if mistakes happen, at least you know you'll
die happy.And, if mesh tops and a lot of blood play just aren't your thing
(to each her own), maybe you'll love his sexy French accent. There's
something to be said about a guy who can roll his r's as well as Stuart
Towsend.
19. Paul Wesley as Stefan in The Vampire Diaries
So the show is still very new, but it's only a matter of time before The
Twilight crowd embraces Vampire Diaries (and despite all claims that Kevin
Williamson's show is a rip-off, The Vampire Diaries' novels were around
long before Twilight hit shelves). It strikes all the right notes: good
looking bloodsuckers, forbidden romances, a high school setting, and pop
music. And it's a little less wordy than Dawson's Creek, which is always a
plus. I've seen the first episode and while Stefan may sort of resemble a
vampire boy scout at present, he has a lot of potential. Paul Wesley is
naturally gorgeous and has the tall, dark, and handsome thing down pat.
Costume designers make him even more tantalizing in his designer jeans and
tight fitting t-shirts, and while I wish he was a little bit less generic
high school kid and more dark and mysterious, I'm not really complaining.
He'll work perfectly for the target audience.
But here is the real test: to be quite honest, I thought the first episode
was subpar. Despite this, I still might tune in if only to see the lovely
Stefan spend twenty-two episodes stalking Elena.
18. Ethan Hawke as Edward in Daybreakers
The sole reason Ethan Hawke is being placed in spot eighteen is that
Daybreakers hasn't reached theaters yet, so my knowledge of his vampire
hotness is based entirely on the two minute and thirty second trailer. But
man, after watching two minutes and thirty seconds of Ethan Hawke running
around in classy suits with slicked back hair and occasional fangs, I am
convinced that he could take over this list effortlessly. He dresses well.
He has intense eyes. He looks like a vampire, but unlike other costume
efforts, he doesn't scream creepy evil dead guy in desperate need of a
little color in his wardrobe (I'm looking at you, Dracula, I'm looking at
you). His pale make-up is subtle and realistic. I buy that he hasn't seen
the sun in many, many years. He also manages to pull off conflicted and
smart in every - admittedly - short clip I saw. I think what we are seeing
here is the beginning of a layered, complex character that will make you
sympathize with the vampire plight without the use of a human girl. What a
crazy concept.
17. Aidan Turner as Mitchell in Being Human
While it may not be the most popular show in the States, it caused quite
the stir in Britain. BBC's Being Human tells the story of a vampire, a
werewolf, and a ghost living together, and lucky for us, Aidan Turner got
the role of the resident vampire, John Mitchell. Like many of the vampires
on this list, Mitchell is burdened with a conscience and abstains from
drinking human blood. Despite this flaw (what can I say, I like bad boys),
his Irish accent and scruffy good looks make him a pleasure to watch on
screen. When his eyes go dark with blood lust, he manages to pull off both
scary and totally sexy. And if you're into the tortured, broody guy,
Mitchell's vampire past and subsequent guilt will keep you hooked.
Definitely worth a drool or two.
16. Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen from Twilight
Some of you might say that I should have put Emmet higher on the list, but
frankly, his character (thus far) bores me just a little. I mean, dude,
it's okay to tell a joke once in awhile. It's not going to kill you
because, well, for one, you're already dead. And you can't die twice.
Unless your name is Buffy Summers. But I digress. Apparently he gets much
better in the rest of the series, but since I'm basing this solely on the
first film, all you Twilight fans are just going to have to prove me wrong
after New Moon comes out. Despite my personal feelings towards his
character, even I can admit there's something to be said for golden eyes
and dark features. And while he may not be the most talkative of the
Cullens (yet), what he lacks in verbal capabilities, he makes up for in
muscle and penetrating eyes. Plus, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a
little bit jealous of his devotion to Rosalie. In the end, I think Emmett
was just what the first Twilight film needed. While he may not be quite as
passionate as Edward, his huge bulk and slightly intimidating nature added
a splash of much appreciated darkness to the entire Cullen family.
15. Jason Patric as Michael from The Lost Boys
While today it may seem like Twilight coined the idea of vampire teenagers,
The Lost Boys had Stephanie Meyer beat by more than a decade. In this pop
culture phenomenon, Michael and Sam Emerson move to a coastal, Californian
town with their recently divorced mother and quickly become entangled with
the local vampire population. Things take a turn for the worse (or better,
given the subject of this list) when Michael accidently drinks some vampire
blood. Oops. Before you can say "Dracula," the once normal teenager is
getting in touch with his inner bad boy. So what makes Jason Patric such a
hot creature of the undead? Well, for one, he epitomizes the wonder that
was eighties fashion. In tight jeans, white tennis shoes, and awesome
sunglasses, this guy is hard to resist. Plus, even when he begins to
exhibit vampire traits, you're still rooting for him. He manages to work
the tragic hero angle very convincingly. Most importantly though, his dark
hair and gorgeous blue eyes make Patric more than worthy of a second look.
14. Alex O'Loughlin as Mich St. John in Moonlight
You know, once in awhile it's nice to encounter a vampire who does
something truly productive with his super strength, years of knowledge, and
stunning good looks. Mick St. John is one such vampire. Instead of sitting
around being all, "Oh man, it sucks that I love blood and have to stay
young and beautiful forever," he made the choice to go out and seek
redemption through helping the helpless, err, I know what you're thinking.
This is sounding a lot like another vampire we all know and love who is a
P.I. and helps the helpless for redemptive purposes. That other vampire
aside, Mick's desire to do what's right, coupled with his ability to brood
like nobody's business, makes him a very attractive undead American to
watch.
13. Tom Cruise as Lestat de Lioncourt in Interview with a Vampire
Despite Tom's recent spout of craziness in the media, back when Interview
with a Vampire came out he was pretty impressive playing the evil Lestat
next to Brad Pitt's conflicted version of the vampire Louis. With pale
features, long blonde hair, blood red lips, and a penchant for killing
women in the throes of passion, he pretty much epitomizes everything you
would expect of a vampire. And it's kind of awesome to watch. Sexy, evil,
and totally insane, it's hard to take your eyes off of Tom whether he's
reaping havoc with the little Kristen Dunst, burning to death, or popping
up on the roof of a car completely unexpectedly. Reportedly, Anne Rice was
extremely skeptical about having big named Tom Cruise play her famous and
most well-known character, but through impressive acting, costume design,
and make-up skill, he makes one of the most convincing and compelling
vampires on this list. Kudos to you, Mr. Cruise.
12. Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaires
Ahh, Ian Somerhalder. You were hot in Young Americans when you dated that
girl who looked like a guy. You were even hotter in Rules of Attraction
when you were in love with Dawson Leary (or somebody bearing his face) ,
and you were perfect in Lost (except for your annoying sister, Shannon).
Now you have snagged the role of the cooler, more attractive, probably more
interesting, evil, undead brother of the title character in Vampire Diaries
 Good job. If I know my vampire shows - and I think I do - you'll probably
get the girl in the end after the masses realize the good girl dating the
good vampire is a bit tired (hey, don't doubt me. It's happened on Buffy
and it is well on its way in True Blood ). Point being, if I were an
insecure, high school girl, I would totally allow you to suck my blood. In
fact, I'd probably allow you to suck my blood if I were a (semi)-mature,
twenty-something-year-old who had - thank god - graduated high school.
Which I am. Point being, I've only seen one episode of this show and I'm
already rooting for the bad guy. Is it because of his gorgeous eyes? Sexy
outfits? Perfect, chiseled features? Take your pick. Or better yet, embrace
them all.
11. Gerard Butler as Dracula in Dracula 2000
It's not easy to be given the task of playing Dracula. He is the vampire of
vampires. The Dark Prince. The Count. The Unholy Master. Choose your creepy
nickname. Thankfully, Gerard Butler from Dracula 2000 did a remarkable job
bringing Bram Stoker's original character to life. Sure, critics may argue
that the movie was, um, subpar and that Dracula wasn't all that scary, but
let's focus on what's truly important. I mean, when was scary the goal?
That's right: never. The thing worth noting here is that Butler looks
fantastic in black, has gorgeous, long dark hair and has fangs that seem
well proportioned and perfect for drinking blood. What else does a vampire
need? Besides, seeing Dracula in the modern world is a treat. With some
tech savvy CGI effects and a plethora of cool vampire Matrix moves, Gerard
Butler is both compelling and fun to watch in this title role.
10. Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton in True Blood
He's our vampire with the heart of gold. Sure, there were some killing
sprees in the past with his sire, but bygones, right? Those days are long
behind him. Or, well, unless somebody threatens Sookie, but that's kind of
romantic, right? Maybe? Not even a little? Okay, perhaps it's a little
creepy. Nevertheless, Bill Compton has decided of his own devices to give
up delicious human blood, live as a human in the South, and date the lovely
Anna Paquin (in real life and in the show). What's more, he's done this all
without the motivation of a pesky Gypsy curse. Wow. What a guy. With a
Southern accent and a serious persona, Sookie falls head over heels for
this bloodsucker and it's hard not to see why. Bill Compton is gorgeous and
wonderfully old fashioned and even when he does something insanely stupid
(such as resorting to his dark, killing ways) you kind of have to forgive
him when he shrugs, takes out his Wii, and tells Sookie that, hey, that
dude deserved to die. And he's probably right. From a costume and make-up
perspective, I love how the designers here have decided to give him a
slightly out-dated style. It highlights the fact that he has never fully
let-go of his previous mortal life, and even when he's in a crowded room
you can tell that there's just something not completely right. You know,
like maybe he loves A-positive a little too much.
9. Wesley Snipes as Blade in Blade
Okay, so he's not a "full" vampire (lame-o). Technically, he's half-human,
but sort of like that hybrid baby in the forth Twilight book, he got all
the vampire perks (super strength, heightened senses, immortality), and
none of the very annoying set-backs (aversion to sunlight, fear of crosses,
hatred of garlic). And he's kind of a bad ass. I mean, how many people do
you know could take out a room full of vampires and look damn good doing
it? Played by the awesome Wesley Snipes, Blade manages to instill total
trust despite his huge frame and wicked fighting techniques. Further,
costume designers have put him in lots of leather, given him some pretty
hot looking shades, and (brace yourselves) equipped him with a cape. If I
was going to be the sole person standing between the earth and it's
take-over by the vampire population, I think I'd probably want a cape.
Point being, here is a guy you definitely want on your side in any fight.
And then, maybe if he has time after saving the world and everything, a few
minutes alone in a dark room.
8. Jason Dohring as Josef Kostan in Moonlight
He might not have been the title character in Moonlight , but Jason Dohring
playing good vampire Josef Kostan made quite the impression on me. Perhaps
(read: certainly) this stems from my longtime love of the tragically
canceled television show Veronica Mars and, consequently, the character of
Logan Echolls (played by Jason Dohring). However, despite this admittedly
blinding obsession, I think my choice stands strong. In Moonlight , Dohring
plays a 400-year old vampire with remarkable ease and depth. Strutting
around in expensive suits, living in luxurious mansions, and taking his
pick of any girl he wants, Josef is probably the envy of most guys. And who
can blame them? In the show, he comes off as suave, smart, and wonderfully
sexy, so much so that he has a gaggle of girls just lining up to give him
their blood. And guys, I think we can all agree that there's something to
be said about a vampire who gets his blood handed to him not through
hypnotic vampire tricks or hunting, but through money and good looks.
7. Brad Pitt as Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with a Vampire
When arguably the sexiest man in popular culture today buckles down to play
a heartbreaking and conflicted vampire in Anne Rice's Interview with a
Vampire , you better expect good things. And Brad Pitt definitely does not
disappoint. With long, blonde hair, billowing white shirts, and a very
tragic demeanor, Pitt brings the character of Louis de Pointe du Lac to
life (or, rather, undead life) in this epic tale. Even though he's still
sort of an evil guy (he is a vampire after all with perhaps the worst
mentor ever - thanks a lot Lestat), his attempts to do what's right -
however misguided - have you rooting for his success throughout the entire
film. Perhaps the most tragic scene of the movie occurs when Louis realizes
that a mistake he made led to Lestat turning an eight-year old girl. The
repercussions both literally and figuratively haunt him throughout the rest
of his existence, and through Brad Pitt's brilliant acting we see every
single moment of pain played out on his face. While I'm still a little bit
afraid of this struggling vampire, his perfect features, and amazingly
hypnotic eyes make me want to curl up with him by a fire and tell him
everything will be alright. Even though I'll probably be lying.
6. Keifer Sutherland as David in The Lost Boys
A vampire with a mullet? That's right. Who says vampires can't pick up on
regrettable fashion trends? Keifer Sutherland introduces us to a whole new
kind of the undead. In The Lost Boys , Sutherland plays the ring leader of
a band of vampire misfits. His eighties style, manipulative nature, and bad
boy image make him more than compelling to watch. And what's more,
Sutherland's character David makes vampirism look fun . From a teenager's
perspective, this is the life. He hangs out with tough looking guys, lives
in Southern California, and has a bunch of hot women surrounding him. Is
there anything better? Before he was saving the world from terrorists,
nuclear disaster, and assassinations in 24, Keifer Sutherland was bedding
virgins, turning innocents, and hanging out in carnivals. If there's a
better life for a creature of the undead, I don't want to know about it.
5. David Boreanaz as Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel
Even though he was kind of a stalker in the first season, Angel made girls
around the United States swoon - myself included. Apparently David Boreanaz
was only meant to appear in a select few episodes of the first season, but
the overwhelming support from fans not only caused Joss Whedon to keep him
in the series, but motivated him to create a spin-off TV show entitled,
Angel. And who can blame him? Not only does Angel have one of the all time
epic forbidden romances with vampire slayer Buffy Summers, he kicks major
ass. With billowing black coats, very gelled hair, and an incredibly
chiseled face, Angel is sort of the perfect male specimen. And while some
may gripe that he sometimes loses his soul when he achieves perfect
happiness, his evil, soulless, counterpart is even more entertaining to
watch. To start with, he wears leather pants on a regular basis and becomes
ten times more snarky. It's not only fun to watch, it'll convince you that
the bad guys probably do have a lot more fun.
4. Antonio Banderas as Armand in Interview with a Vampire
There's something to be said for a vampire in a position of power. Antonio
Banderas as Armand from Interview with a Vampire not only boasts a very
sexy accent, but leads a cohort of likeminded evil vampires in Europe.
Perhaps the most compelling facet of this character is Armand's general
life philosophy. Unlike some of the more, err, whiny vampires in popular
culture who have major blood issues, Armand boasts an existence without
regret. He lives freely and passionately and his zest for life is
infectious. With dark eyes and features, he plays an excellent counterpart
to Brad Pitt's fairer features, while also balancing out Louis' rather
depressing take on vampires. By the end of the movie I can safely say that
if I had to spend an eternity with Lestat, Louis, or Armand, Armand would
win hands down, every single time. He's sexy, fun, and doesn't spend quite
as much time brooding, which, contrary to what seems to be vampire popular
belief, is not as attractive as it may sound.
3. Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman in True Blood
Let's face it: Bill Compton may be good looking and chivalrous, but he's
not terribly interesting, and unfortunately for Bill, Eric is really
interesting. What does this mean? Well, if Alan Ball follows the books even
remotely, Bill may be watching on the sidelines as Sookie runs into the
very pale, very cold arms of one Mr. Eric Northman. And maybe it's my love
for bad boys with layers, but I'm rooting for Eric on this one. I'd much
rather see Sookie in a relationship with Eric than Bill. If nothing else,
the fights would be much more entertaining, and the sex probably way
hotter. I know there are a lot of Bill fans out there who are probably
bubbling with rage right now, but c'mon. You can't be all that surprised,
can you? Let me lay it down for you: on the one hand we have a whiney,
questionable dresser, who plays Wii. On the other hand, we have a powerful,
leather-wearing, club owning badass who can tell the other hand what to do.
I think there is a very obvious and clear winner here.
2. Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen in Twilight
Oh, Edward Cullen. Your penchant for stalking teenage girls and attending
high school for all of eternity aside (dude, why ?), you are one good
looking bloodsucker. Sure, the stirrings of your hotness were there when
you played Cedric Diggory back at Hogwarts (R.I.P. friend), but I don't
think any of us really appreciated the true beauty that is you until you
stepped into the Forks cafeteria in Twilight. What I like about Robert
Pattinson's appearance for this role (besides the obvious
'please-take-me-now' facet) is that he actually looks like a vampire.
Unlike other high school vampire shows (I'm thinking of you, Vampire
Diaries ), there is something simply too pretty about Edward Cullen. I
mean, there is just no way somebody who looks like him is human. He has to
be something more. Perhaps it's the golden, color-changing eyes, or the
perfectly placed hair, or maybe the very pale skin and impossibly red lips,
but it only takes one look to know that this guy is not a guy at all. He
can't be. To conclude, I guess it's not at all surprising that Bella falls
in love with him in about 2.5 seconds (give or take). I mean, wouldn't you?
1. James Marsters as Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel
Well, we've come to the end of the list and I know what you're all
thinking. "Dude, really?" I mean, those of you who have seen Buffy know
exactly what I'm talking about, but to some...this might be a mystery. He
has bleached blonde hair, you may say, and wears red and black together
which is not only a vampire clichï¿½, but looks horrendous. Why does he get
to be number one? Allow me to tell you: for one, he has a British accent
and not just any British accent. It's a cockney British accent. If you
don't think this is hot, you simply need to hear him say "bugger" and
"bloody" a few times. It's awesome. Two, the character of Spike is really
funny. This is an incredibly rare trait in a vampire and I don't know about
you guys, but a guy who can make me laugh gets major points. Three, he's
love's bitch. His words, not mine. Spike is man enough to admit that when
it comes to love, he pretty much let's himself be taken over by it. We see
this consistently throughout the show, whether it's his total and complete
devotion to the very weak vampire Drusilla in the first two seasons (he
nearly kills himself to save her), or his quest to obtain a soul to prove
himself worthy of Buffy in season six. When this guy falls in love, he
falls all the way in. Finally, he's ridiculously handsome. Not only does he
have one of the most chiseled bodies I've ever seen, he has amazing blue
eyes and very defined cheek bones. And while his style isn't exactly what'd
I'd seek out on a normal day of vampire watching, William the Bloody makes
it work for him. The Billy Idol, punk rock persona adds a level of vampire
uniqueness that is greatly appreciated in a world of brooding,
old-fashioned bloodsuckers. In the end, Spike can suck my blood any day of
the week.
