"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

This is an ancient meme, so there are a lot of recent vampires missing (like Abigail, the guy from Sinners, even frickin Morbius.) Not to mention some classics like the Nosferatus, or Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger. I think it's a "who's your favorite?" or "which one are you?" kinda meme but the version I saw didn't have a title. I was gonna re-do the image, but I realized there are a lot of possibilities I'm not familiar with, especially from TV and video games.

Anyway, what vampire is missing from this image? Can be from Movies / TV / Gaming / Other.

Really? It has to be me to say it?

SantΓ‘nico Pandemonium in From Dusk Till Dawn.

I was gonna say Cheech and Danny Trejo, but you win.

Or 2024 Nosferatu, which is like 1922 Nosferatu but with full penetration.

Speaking of old media… I was hesitant to recommend Carmilla, since I wasn’t sure you’d be looking for books (the most remarkable merit being that it was written before Dracula and even the invention of cinema), but TIL there is indeed a movie:

oh wow thanks that's very interesting, I never heard of that before. For those of us in the US, looks like it's free on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100005362/the-vampire-lovers

This is the only one that actually looks like a vampire:

Most others look like sexual fantasies with a hint of vampirism

omg I had to look that up, sounds fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Duckula

Johnny Depp played Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows.

Viktor in Underworld played by Bill Nighy

Adam Sandler's Dracula and his daughter, Mavis, in Hotel Transylvania

I don't remember the character's name, but one of the Dark Brotherhood in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was a vampire. There was also a big vampire quest line in a Skyrim expansion

Dracula in Castlevania

Dracula in the song monster mash (as a character he also shows up in some of the other songs from that band)

Consistency in naming the actress vs the character

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah lel there are also a couple spelling mistakes/typos. I ain't hating tho, doing memes takes effort.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Indeed it does. Should it include anyone from What we do in the shadows?

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

By popular demand, it seems so! I def. got to watch that show.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you're going to include a puppet then you might as well bring in Alucard.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I had to look it up, I'm not familiar with anime vampires. Isn't there a Vampire Hunter D as well?

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

i was partly curious if people would assume I was talking about Alucard from Hellsing or Alucard from Castlevania X3

Nicholas Cage as Dracula in Renfield

Not enough women, so Nadja from What we do in the Shadows.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Where is Blacula?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Dracula from Chica Vampiro. The show is bad but I think it would be a completely unique personnality in this panel.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A Colombian telenovela about vampires?!? LOLZ I gotta track it down!!!

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 5 days ago

The show is quite bad. Especially since I was watching a french version with poor dubbing and Γ©pisode that were clearly rearrange from how the relationship of the secondary character would go back and forth in time. Yet, I'm so upset I couldn't see it until the end!

[–] railcar@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The old universal films and hammer should be represented: Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

Hey, that could even be a meme of its own: "Who's the best Dracula?"

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Jan Valek and Kristina from John Carpenter's Vampires.

James Woods notwithstanding, it's still one of my guilty pleasure movies.

ooh hadn't heard of that one. Could be from Scrubs, from Ed Wood, from one of a couple bands, or other...?

[–] GooseGang@beehaw.org 2 points 6 days ago

Lothos from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and the unfortunate Darren Shan portrayal in the Cirque du Freak movie
