Big-screen vampires, from ugly as sin to hotter than hell

Vampires have always had a certain allure--they're the bad boys of the night, after all--but with the popularity of the "Twilight" book series and the related film adaptation, they've truly hit the big time. Let's face it: when even tweens swoon for a pale-faced neck-nibbler, Dracula has made the A-list. But Hollywood hasn't always presented vampires as true beauties, so I've picked the homeliest and hottest of the black-caped lords of darkness ever to hit the big screen. Of course my list is completely authoritative, but if you think of anyone I've missed or disagree with my selections, be sure to let me know in the comments below.

    You forgot one of the sexiest blood-suckers on the small screen (although I don't ever recall Count Chocula doing a feature film). Garaint Wyn Davies portrayal of Nick Knight on the Canadian based show Forever Knight is surely the vampire I'd most like to meet in a dark alley. And his predessesor Rick Springfield, who starred in the American version of the same character wasn't too shabby, either.

    Seriously? You forgot Angel and Spike? How can you have a list of hot vampires WITHOUT them?
